Mastering Plus Wallet: Tips & Tricks for a Seamless Crypto Experience

Welcome to the Crypto Wallet That Puts You in Control!

Crypto should be simple, secure, and fully in your hands—and that’s exactly what Plus Wallet delivers. Whether you're sending your first Bitcoin, swapping tokens across chains, or managing a diverse crypto portfolio, this guide will help you navigate it all like a pro.  

Unlike custodial wallets that hold your assets (and sometimes freeze them—looking at you, centralized exchanges), Plus Wallet gives you full control. Your private keys stay with you, meaning your funds are never at risk of being blocked, seized, or limited. But with great power comes great responsibility—securing your crypto wallet, avoiding costly mistakes, and optimizing fees are all on you.  

Luckily, we’ve got you covered. This guide breaks down the must-know tips and tricks to help you make the most of Plus Wallet without the guesswork.   

Let’s dive in.   

1. Setting Up Plus Wallet: Lock It Down from Day One  

Setting up Plus Wallet’s 12-word recovery phrase is easy. Securing it? That’s where people slip up. Your 12-word recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access. 

Lose it, and your funds are gone—for good. (And no, not even we can help you get them back.)  

Pro Tips to Stay Bulletproof:  

• Write down your recovery phrase—on paper, not in your phone’s Notes app.  
• Make multiple copies and store them in separate, secure locations.  
• Enable biometric authentication (Face ID, fingerprint) for extra protection.  
• Use a strong PIN—"0000" or "1234" is practically an invitation to get hacked.  
• Avoid copying and pasting your recovery phrase—clipboard malware is a thing.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Storing the recovery phrase in an email or cloud storage – Hackers love easy targets.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If you lose your PIN, you can reset your wallet using the recovery phrase—assuming you saved it correctly!  

2. Receiving Crypto: No Room for Mistakes  

Want to receive crypto? Head to the ‘Receive’ section, choose the right blockchain (Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, etc.), and copy your wallet address for deposits. This ensures funds arrive safely in your wallet. 

But mistakes here can cost you.  

Pro Tips for a Smooth Deposit:  

• Always match the blockchain—ERC-20 and BEP-20 are not interchangeable.  
• Use QR codes instead of copying and pasting long addresses.  
• Check the sender’s exchange fees before they transfer to you.  
• For privacy, generate a new receiving address for each transaction.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Providing an Ethereum address for a Binance Smart Chain (BSC) transaction – Even though some wallets use similar addresses, the funds could get lost.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If your funds don’t show up, confirm you selected the right blockchain. Many times, it’s just a display issue, and your funds are safe on another network.  

3. Sending Crypto Securely: No Take-Backs in Blockchain  

Crypto transactions are final. Once you send funds, there’s no cancel button, no customer support to call, no chargebacks. That’s why double-checking is non-negotiable.  

Pro Tips for Safe Transfers:  

• Send a small test transaction before moving large amounts.  
• Check the gas fee estimator—no need to overpay.  
• Confirm the recipient’s address twice before hitting ‘Send.’  
• If sending to an exchange, don’t forget the memo/tag (for XRP, BNB, etc.).  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Sending crypto to the wrong address – If you make a typo, that money is gone.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If your transaction is stuck, check the network congestion. You might need to speed it up or cancel (if the blockchain supports it).  

4. Managing Tokens: Stay Organized, Stay Smart  

Your Plus Wallet automatically detects major tokens, but if you’re holding lower-cap altcoins, you may need to add them manually.  

Pro Tips for Portfolio Management:  

• Use smart search to quickly find, add and manage tokens.  
• Double-check token contract addresses before adding new assets.  
• Label wallets to keep things organized across multiple chains.  
• Track token contract changes—some projects migrate contracts over time.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Adding scam tokens – Always verify contracts through official sources.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If your token isn’t showing up, import the contract address manually—many altcoins won’t auto-display.  

5. Security & Backup: No One’s Watching Your Back But You  

Since Plus Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, your private keys are stored only on your device. This means you are the sole custodian of your funds. No one—not Plus Wallet, not a bank, not an exchange—can access your assets. That’s the power of true financial control.  

True ownership means taking security seriously. Losing access to your wallet or falling for scams could mean permanently losing your funds. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen.  

Pro Tips for Maximum Security:  

• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security when linking to exchanges or other services.  
• Use a dedicated device for large holdings or long-term storage to reduce exposure to malware.  
• Be cautious of phishing attempts—Plus Wallet will never ask for your private keys. If anyone does, it’s a scam.  
• Regularly update Plus Wallet to stay ahead of security threats and ensure you have the latest protections.  
• Use a hardware wallet for long-term storage of significant amounts—cold storage remains the safest option.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Falling for fake Plus Wallet support messages – Scammers impersonate wallet providers via emails, Telegram, or social media. Never share your recovery phrase.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If you suspect your wallet is compromised, immediately transfer your funds to a new wallet and reset your device.  

Your wallet is only as secure as you make it. Take security seriously, or risk losing everything.  

6. Multi-Chain Swaps & Cross-Chain Swaps: Trade Without the Headaches  

Swapping tokens used to mean moving funds to an exchange, waiting for withdrawals, and hoping your coins don’t get stuck. Not anymore. With Plus Wallet’s built-in multi-chain and cross-chain swap feature, you can trade assets across different blockchains instantly—without leaving your wallet.  

But crypto swaps aren’t foolproof. Slippage, gas fees, and liquidity can all impact your final trade. Here’s how to swap like a pro.  

Pro Tips for Smooth Swaps:  

• Always check the swap rate—rates fluctuate, and you want the best deal.  
• Adjust your slippage tolerance if your swap is failing (higher for volatile tokens).  
• Ensure you have enough native blockchain tokens (ETH for Ethereum swaps, BNB for BSC swaps, etc.).  
• Use high-liquidity pairs to avoid excessive fees or price swings.  
• Confirm the network before swapping—some tokens exist on multiple blockchains, but they aren’t interchangeable.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Swapping without checking gas fees – Some chains (Ethereum, we’re looking at you) can have sky-high fees during congestion.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If your swap is stuck or pending, it might be due to low slippage settings or network congestion. Try increasing the slippage slightly or waiting for lower traffic periods.  

Crypto moves fast. Make sure you’re swapping with confidence, not guesswork.  

7. NFT Management: Flex Your Digital Collectibles  

NFTs are more than just profile pictures and pixelated jpegs—they’re digital assets, memberships, and even access passes. But storing them on a marketplace isn’t true ownership. If the platform goes down, so do your NFTs.  

That’s why Plus Wallet lets you store, send, and receive NFTs across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Solana.  

Pro Tips for NFT Holders:  

• Verify NFT contract addresses before buying—fake collections are everywhere.  
• Keep valuable NFTs in a separate wallet for added security.  
• Use Plus Wallet’s preview feature to view your NFTs without external tools.  
• Always double-check network fees before transferring high-value NFTs.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Buying NFTs from unverified collections – Scammers create fake versions of popular projects. Always verify contracts before making a purchase.  

Troubleshooting Tip:  

If your NFT isn’t showing up in Plus Wallet, check:  

• That you selected the correct blockchain (Ethereum NFTs won’t show on BSC).  
• If the contract is supported yet (newer collections may take time to display).  
• Manually import the NFT contract address if needed.  

Your NFTs are only as safe as your wallet security. Keep them protected.  

8. Understanding Fees: Gas Fees Don’t Have to Suck  

Every blockchain transaction requires gas fees, but that doesn’t mean you have to overpay. If you’re not careful, you could spend more on fees than the transaction itself.  

Gas fees fluctuate based on network congestion, transaction speed, and blockchain type. Here’s how to minimize costs.  

Pro Tips to Reduce Gas Fees:  

• Use the gas fee estimator to choose the best cost-to-speed balance.  
• Avoid peak congestion times—weekends or late nights often have lower fees.  
• Consider Layer-2 networks like Polygon and Arbitrum for cheaper transactions.  
• Batch transactions where possible—sending multiple assets at once reduces costs.  
• Use decentralized exchanges (DEXs) with lower fees when swapping tokens.  

Common Mistake to Avoid: 

Overpaying for priority transactions – Unless you’re in a rush, don’t blindly accept the highest gas fees.  

Troubleshooting Tip: 

If your transaction is stuck in pending, you can speed it up by increasing the gas fee or cancel it if the network allows.  

Knowing how to optimize gas fees can save you a lot of money in the long run. Be smart about it.  

Troubleshooting 101: Fix Common Wallet Issues

Even with the best setup, things can go wrong. Here are some quick fixes for the most common wallet issues:

My Transaction is Stuck in Pending!

Solution: 

• If possible, use the speed-up feature to increase the gas fee.
• If the network allows, cancel the transaction and try again with a higher gas fee.
• Check network congestion—Ethereum gas fees can spike during peak times.

I Sent Funds to The Wrong Blockchain!

Solution: 

• If the receiving wallet supports both chains (like Ethereum & BSC), you may be able to manually switch networks.
• If not, you might need to bridge the funds using a cross-chain service.
• Prevention tip: Always double-check the network before sending!

My Tokens or NFTs Aren’t Showing Up!

Solution: 

• Manually import the token contract address—not all assets auto-display.
• Check that you're on the correct blockchain (Ethereum NFTs won’t appear on Binance Smart Chain).
• Verify if the token/NFT is still active—some projects migrate contracts.

I Lost Access to my Wallet!

Solution: 

• Use your 12-word recovery phrase to restore the wallet on another device.
• No backup? Unfortunately, funds are unrecoverable—this is why securing your seed phrase is critical.

If something isn’t working as expected, don’t panic. Most issues have a solution.
