I'm a bit new in the forum and still trying to figure out how so many things work, I would love to know how to get a functional wallet address or a step-by-step guide on how to create one.
I would advise you to get a hardware wallet like Trezor, Coldcard, passport and store your assets. If you cannot afford it you can download an open source wallet like Electrum, Bluewallet or Unstoppable wallet. Any of these wallets come highly recommended but remember to download only from the official website and I've shared some download links below. When installing the wallet, it is important that you write down your seed phrase on a piece of and keep it save.
