Therefore I have decided to address the next article to the easiest way to buy EGLD/ Elrond thus, the focus of attention will be wallet.elrond.com , wallet which, besides the easiness of buying the coin, also offers an additional benefit through the interest of 7% up to 29% per year for the coins from delegation.

  • In the next window will be displayed a list of 24 words; Pay high attention as these words will have to be used for accessing the wallet if password is forgotten and/ or file .json (details later) is lost/ deleted thus, it is necessary to save the list on a secured path which cannot be accessed by unauthorised persons:
  • As a check-point, in the next window will be displayed a Surprise quiz where you have to fill in the words based on the list from the previous step; In case if you have missed to save the list, now you have the possibility of going backward:
