Once extension is installed click the Core icon and click Create a New Wallet and follow on screen instructions. Make sure to store the Secret Recovery Phrase in a secure location.
2. Funding your wallet
Once you have accessed your Avalanche Wallet, you now need to fund it with minimum of 25 Avalanche (AVAX)

The rest of the steps will take place on Avalanche’s core.app site.
Visit core.app and click the Connect Wallet button and select Core.
Your wallet is now connected with core.app
Ensure your AVAX is on the P-Chain. If it is not on the P-Chain, you need to do a Cross-Chain transfer.
