### Setting Up an XRP Wallet

To hold and manage your CHEETAH tokens and NFTs, you’ll need a compatible XRPL wallet. Here’s a quick guide to get started:

#### Available Wallets

* Xaman: A user-friendly, browser-based wallet ideal for beginners and advanced users alike.
* FirstLedger: An integrated XRP wallet and DEX (Decentralized Exchange) that seamlessly connects to the XRP Ledger.
* MetaMask: The most popular EVM wallet offers an XRP Snap that allows you to connect to the XRP Ledger. (Advanced Users)
* Ledger: A hardware wallet for secure, offline storage of your $CHEETAH assets.
  \
  Both support the XRPL’s native XLS-20 NFT standard and require no Trust Lines for $CHEETAH tokens or NFTs.

#### Basic Wallet Setup

1. Download and install your chosen wallet from its official website.
2. Create a new wallet or import an existing one using your seed phrase (keep it safe!).
3. Fund your wallet with a small amount of XRP (e.g., 10 XRP) to cover transaction fees and reserves (0.2 XRP per NFTokenPage or offer).
4. Verify your address and test a small transaction to ensure everything works.
