Petra Aptos Wallet for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Kiwi

Install this extension directly from your browser's official store to manage Aptos-native assets.


Transaction fees on the Aptos network typically range below $0.01. This tool supports all Aptos-based tokens and NFTs within a single interface.

How to Install Petra and Create Your First Aptos Wallet in Your Browser

Navigate to the official extension store for your chosen browser–Chromium-based like Google Chrome, Brave, or Kiwi, or Mozilla's Firefox. Locate the software by searching for its recognized name. Select Add to Browser and confirm the installation when prompted.


After adding the extension, find its icon pinned to your toolbar. Click it to initiate the setup. You will see two primary options: Create New Account or Import Existing. Choose to generate a fresh one.


The tool will produce a new, empty account. Your most critical task is to securely record the 12-word secret recovery phrase displayed on-screen. Write these words in order on physical paper. This phrase is the master key to your funds; never share it or store it digitally.


Verify your backup by accurately re-entering the phrase when asked. Finally, establish a strong password for encrypting local access to this extension. The interface will then load, showing your new public address and balance. You are now ready to receive digital assets on this network.

Managing Tokens and NFTs: Sending, Receiving, and Viewing Your Assets

Directly import any token using its contract address; the balance appears automatically if metadata exists on-chain.


To receive assets, provide your public address. For added security, generate a new address for each incoming transaction using the 'Create New Account' feature within the same seed phrase.


Send tokens by entering the recipient's full address, selecting the asset, and confirming the gas fee. Always conduct a test with a minimal amount before larger transfers.


Your NFT collection displays in a grid. Click any item to see specific attributes and on-chain provenance data. Customize the view to sort by recently acquired or by collection.


For bulk management, use the 'Select Multiple' function to move several NFTs between accounts or hide them from your main view without removing them.


Verify transaction finality by checking the corresponding block explorer link provided in your activity log for every send and receive event.

Q&A:
Does this wallet work with the Aptos blockchain only, or can I use it for other networks like Solana or Ethereum?

This wallet is built specifically for the Aptos blockchain. It manages APT coins and Aptos-based tokens (like those in the Aptos ecosystem). You cannot use it for networks like Ethereum, Solana, or BNB Chain. For those, you need a separate wallet like MetaMask or Phantom. Think of it as a dedicated tool for one ecosystem, which helps keep things secure and simple for Aptos users.

I use Brave browser. Is the installation process any different compared to Chrome?

No, the process is almost the same. Since Brave is based on Chromium, you can install the Petra wallet directly from the Chrome Web Store. Just click "Add to Chrome," and Brave will handle the installation. The steps for setting up your wallet—creating a new one or importing with a seed phrase—are identical across Chrome, Brave, and other Chromium-based browsers like Kiwi.

How do I recover my wallet if I get a new computer or reinstall my browser?

You need your 12-word secret recovery phrase. This phrase is generated when you first create the wallet. Write it down and keep it safe offline. To recover, install the Petra extension on the new browser, select "Import Wallet," and enter your 12 words in the correct order. This will restore your Aptos account, including your APT balance and transaction history. Without this phrase, your funds cannot be recovered.

Is it safe to connect the Petra wallet to any Aptos website or dApp?

You should be careful. Always check the website's URL before connecting. Only connect to dApps you know and trust. The wallet will show you what permissions the site is asking for, like viewing your address or requesting a transaction. Review these details each time. A legitimate dApp will never ask for your secret recovery phrase. If a site does, it's a scam.

Can I use Petra on my mobile phone?

The Petra extension is for desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Kiwi. There isn't a mobile app version for iOS or Android. However, you can access some Aptos dApps on your phone's browser, but you would need a mobile-compatible wallet. For now, Petra is mainly a desktop tool. Check the official Petra website for updates on a potential mobile release.

Does this wallet work with the Kiwi browser on Android?

Yes, the Petra wallet extension is fully compatible with the Kiwi browser on Android. Since Kiwi supports desktop Chrome extensions, you can install Petra Wallet extension download directly from the Chrome Web Store. The functionality is identical to using it on a desktop version of Chrome or Brave.
