Setting up a Vespr Wallet (Mobile)

Hi! Atticus Review has created this “cheat sheet” for setting up a Cardano Vespr wallet for people who would like to collect our literary NFTs from a mobile device. To set up a wallet in your browser on a computer, see this Lace Tutorial.

Let’s get started!

1. The End Goal: Holding Literary NFTs in Your Vespr Wallet

In order to collect a literary NFT on your phone, you will need to have a Vespr wallet and add some Cardano (ADA) to it.

We’d like to show you the finished product first, so you know what you’re doing this for. After you purchase a literary NFT with ADA using your wallet, the NFT will then be transferred to your wallet and will appear in the “Collectibles” section.

It will look something like the screenshot to the right (or below, if you’re on a phone):

2. Installing the Wallet

In the Android Play Store or Apple App Store search for “Vespr Cardano Wallet.”

Download the app to your device.

3. Open the app and create a new wallet

If you already have a wallet, you could add an existing wallet and enter your “Recovery Phrase.”

For this example, we’ll create a new wallet.

The wallet will get created for you and will be given a name like “Impressive Perspective.” Maybe smile or laugh when you read the name, but then feel free to change it by going to your “Account Info.” You can change your wallet name to whatever you like. The wallet address is the important part and that will not change.

The first thing you will want to do is “Backup” your wallet. This basically means creating a “Recovery Phrase.” This will allow you to install your wallet on other devices.

Your recovery phrase is the key to your wallet. Do not lose it. Store it someplace safe.

4. Recovery Phrase Steps

Read the notes about creating your “Recovery Phrase.” And show it.

5. Navigate to Atticus Review

The Vespr wallet has a web browser built into it.

You can access the browser by clicking the Compass Icon at the bottom right of the screen.

Go to atticusreview.org, then navigate to the page that has the NFTs you want to collect
Click on the NFT you wish to collect
Click “Continue with Vespr”
Click “Connect” to connect the wallet to the site
