Getting Started with QoreX

This page walks through installing the mobile app and creating, restoring, or linking your wallet.

Before you begin: secure your device​

A QoreX wallet can only be created or imported when your device has a strong unlock factor set up. This is what protects your keys in the hardware vault. Any of the following qualifies:

  • iOS — Face ID or Touch ID.
  • Android — a Class-3 biometric (fingerprint, iris, or 3D face unlock) or a device screen lock (PIN, pattern, or password).
Android 2D face unlock

Camera-based 2D face unlock (found on some devices, e.g. certain Samsung models) counts as a weak biometric. If that is all you have, QoreX relies on the PIN / pattern behind it — and the system sheet offers it automatically, so you are still covered.

If no strong factor is enrolled, the create/import buttons stay disabled and the screen explains what to turn on. Set up Face ID, a fingerprint, or a screen lock in your system settings, then return to QoreX.

First launch​

The app opens on the onboarding screen only when no wallet exists on the device. Once you have a wallet, every later launch goes straight to the Home (Wallet) tab. Viewing balances needs no biometric; signing a transaction always does.

You have three ways to set up:

1. Create a new wallet​

  1. Tap Create a new wallet.
  2. QoreX generates a 24-word recovery phrase on your device (256-bit entropy) and derives your QoreChain identity — coin type 118, a qor1… address (your ETH and SOL accounts come from the same seed).
  3. Write the 24 words down and store them offline. This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose the device.
  4. Confirm the phrase; QoreX seals it in the hardware-backed, biometric-gated vault.
Your recovery phrase is everything

Anyone with your 24 words controls your funds, and no one — including QoreChain Association — can recover them for you. Never type your phrase into a website, share it, or store it in a screenshot or cloud note.

2. Restore an existing wallet​

  1. Tap Restore existing wallet.
  2. Type your 24 words in order.
  3. QoreX re-derives the same addresses — your wallet looks identical on any device.

If you already have QoreX on another phone or tablet, you can move the wallet across with no server and no typing — see Link a new device. Choose Link from another device on the new device to begin.

Optional: claim an @handle​

After your wallet is created you can claim a unique @handle (for example @liviu) so people can send to you by name instead of a qor1… address. This is optional and skippable — your wallet never depends on it. See Account & Dashboard.
