Get Started with Axie in 4 Simple Key Steps
STEP 1: Create Ronin Wallet Account
Before you begin your journey in Lunacia, you'll first need to create your own Ronin Wallet account. Fortunately, the process is straightforward and can be done either on your desktop (via browser Ronin extension) or mobile device (via Ronin mobile app). Start by installing your wallet from here.
We have two options for creating a Ronin wallet account.
OPTION 1: Create Ronin Wallet via Secret Recovery Phrase
You can opt to create your Ronin Wallet via the traditional option of generating a secret recovery phrase. This method provides you with a wallet that can store multiple private keys (meaning you can generate multiple addresses within the same account). Be sure to store your secret recovery phrase in a safe and secure location, as it will be essential for accessing your wallet in the future.
OPTION 2: Create Ronin Wallet via Social Login / Email
You also have the option to create your Ronin Wallet using your social login / email address. This method allows for easy access and management of your wallet across different platforms without having the need to enter long sets of words from a secret recovery phrase. Instead, you will be asked to create your own recovery password for future access. Make sure to set up your recovery password properly to avoid losing access to your wallet.
Ronin wallets created via social login (Facebook, Apple, Gmail) or email generates a single address within your wallet. The generated address is bound to the email and cannot be disconnected by any means. Losing access to the email and recovery password will result in the loss of Ronin wallet access.
To learn more about the two options above, you may refer to the Ronin Wallet Overview Article for setting them up on either desktop or mobile.
STEP 2: Setup your Mavis Account
Ronin wallets created via the social login / email and recovery password automatically syncs your profile with the Sky Mavis accounts service. You may skip STEP 2 if you have created your Ronin wallet via social login.

The Sky Mavis Accounts Management site serves as a centralized accounts service for all games & apps within the Ronin ecosystem, meaning you can use the same accounts for all Ronin dApps. Accounts set up via App.Axie are automatically synced with the Sky Mavis Accounts Management.
