# How do I get started?

### Setting up a Tezos Wallet <a href="#id-665a" id="id-665a"></a>

There are many Tezos supported wallets out there including software and hardware options. For a complete list including how to download, check out [the Tezos website](https://tezos.com/learn/store-and-use/).![](https://3831012291-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FGW87Lm8ty8yPApI2UJ4Q%2Fuploads%2FCwVm3t1hf7Y33gk5uI61%2Ftezwallets.png?alt=media\&token=ed85650c-a60e-4a90-9e41-7de12a00b5ee)

Follow the specific instructions for how to set up your wallet, including securing your seed phrase. Be sure to follow these links and make sure that that source your downloading from is correct, for security purposes.

### Funding Your Tezos Wallet <a href="#id-5560" id="id-5560"></a>

Assuming you’ve used any centralized exchange before like Coinbase or Binance, you should have the option to buy Tezos.

Once you’ve purchased your Tezos (also called tez by the community), locate the address of the Tezos wallet that you’ve set up. Your Tezos wallet address should be a string of numbers and letters starting with “tz.”

Use this address to withdraw Tezos to. When transferring funds be sure to check, letter by letter, that the address is correct. In some cases, it may even make sense to send a test withdrawal of a small amount before sending a larger amount of tez.
