How to Set Up a Cysic Wallet — Beginner's Guide 2026

Download a compatible wallet app from the official source.

Open your phone's App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). Search for "Bitget Wallet" and download the official app, or visit web3.bitget.com directly.

You can also use MetaMask or Zypto App, but Bitget Wallet is the better pick for Cysic (CYS) since it supports both BSC and Base networks natively.

Double-check the developer name and download count before installing — fake wallet apps exist. Per Bitget's 2026 guide, this is a non-custodial wallet: you alone control your private keys.

Create a new wallet and set a strong local password.

Open the app and tap "Create Wallet"-

The app will ask you to set a password for local device access — separate from your blockchain private keys. Choose at least 8 characters, mixing letters, numbers, and symbols, and write it down somewhere safe but apart from your seed phrase. The password only protects the app on your phone; if someone takes your phone, they still can't open the wallet without it.

Back up your 12-word recovery phrase on paper only.

The app will show you a 12-word recovery phrase (also called a seed phrase).

This phrase is the master key to your wallet — whoever holds these words controls your CYS tokens. Write them down on paper in the exact order shown. Never screenshot it, never type it into your phone, and never share it with anyone.

Make two handwritten copies and store them in separate secure locations. Per Cysic's official docs, you'll need this phrase to recover your wallet if you lose your phone or want to restore access on another device.

The app will ask you to confirm the phrase by selecting the words in order, to verify you wrote them down correctly.

Add the BSC and Base networks to see your CYS tokens.

Cysic (CYS) runs on both BSC (BNB Smart Chain) and Base networks.

In Bitget Wallet, these networks are usually enabled by default — check the "Assets" or "Manage Networks" section to confirm BSC and Base are toggled on.

If you're using MetaMask, add these networks manually using their RPC details. You only need to add a network once; after that, the wallet switches automatically when you interact with CYS dApps. Without the correct network selected, your CYS balance will show as zero even if you hold tokens.

Receive CYS by searching for the token or using your wallet address.

Tap "Receive" or "Deposit" in your wallet. Your wallet address is a long string starting with "0x" — this is your public address for receiving CYS on both BSC and Base.

To add CYS to your dashboard, use the search function and type "CYS".

If it doesn't appear automatically, add the token contract address manually — check Cysic's official documentation for the correct addresses on each chain.

Always send a small test transaction first, like 1 CYS, before moving larger amounts. Per Cysic's claim portal at cysicfoundation.org, you'll need this same wallet address to claim rewards and interact with the network.

Once added, your CYS balance appears and you're ready to receive, store, or stake your tokens.
