Petra Aptos Wallet Your Secure Browser Extension for Chrome Firefox Brave Kiwi
This tool operates directly within your browser, supporting Chromium-based and Firefox frameworks. It handles tokens, facilitates staking, and interacts with decentralized applications on the Aptos blockchain.
Key functions include asset visibility, secure transaction authorization, and direct connection to Web3 platforms. The interface presents clear data on balances and transaction history.
Configuration requires generating a new seed phrase or importing an existing one. Always record your recovery credentials offline. This software is open-source, allowing public code verification.
For daily interactions with the Aptos ecosystem, this solution provides necessary functionality without unnecessary complexity. It is a focused instrument for on-chain activity.
Q&A: Does this wallet work with the Aptos blockchain only, or can I hold other cryptocurrencies like Solana or Ethereum?
This wallet is specifically built for the Aptos blockchain. It is designed to store, send, receive, and interact with APT tokens and other assets on the Aptos network. You cannot store native Solana (SOL) or Ethereum (ETH) in this wallet, as those operate on entirely different blockchains. For those, you would need separate wallets like Phantom or MetaMask.
I use Kiwi browser on my Android phone. Will the Petra wallet extension work there?
Yes, the Petra wallet is confirmed to work with the Kiwi browser on Android. Kiwi allows the installation of Chrome extensions on mobile. You can install the Petra extension from the Chrome Web Store directly within Kiwi. Functionality is the same as on desktop, letting you manage your Aptos assets on your phone.
How do I get my secret recovery phrase when I set up Petra?
During the initial wallet creation, Petra will generate a 12-word secret recovery phrase. You must write these words down in the exact order shown and store them securely offline. The wallet will ask you to confirm the phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence. Petra does not store this phrase for you, so losing it means losing access to your funds permanently.
Can I connect the Petra wallet to NFT marketplaces and swap tokens?
Yes, that's a primary function. You can connect your Petra wallet to Aptos-based decentralized applications (dApps). This includes NFT platforms like Topaz or BlueMove to view, buy, and sell NFTs. You can also connect to decentralized exchanges like Liquidswap or PancakeSwap on Aptos to swap tokens directly within your browser.
Is it safe to keep all my APT in this browser extension?
Browser extensions are convenient but face risks like malware on your computer or phishing websites. For significant amounts of APT, use Petra in conjunction with a hardware wallet for transaction signing. For long-term storage, consider a non-custodial wallet where you fully control the keys, but move the bulk of funds to an offline or hardware-secured wallet. Always keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it.
Does the Petra wallet work with all Aptos dApps in my browser?
Yes, Petra is the original and most widely supported wallet for the Aptos blockchain. It's built by the Aptos Labs team, so it has full compatibility. When you visit an Aptos dApp like a decentralized exchange or an NFT marketplace, the site will automatically detect your Petra wallet extension. You'll get a prompt to Connect Petra Wallet to dApp your wallet, and then you can approve transactions directly from the extension pop-up. It works the same way across all supported browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Kiwi.
I use Kiwi browser on my Android phone. Can I install Petra there and will it sync with my desktop?
Kiwi browser on Android does support Chrome extensions, so you can technically install the Petra wallet from the Chrome Web Store. However, browser wallets on mobile can be a less smooth experience than dedicated mobile apps. Your wallets won't automatically sync because Petra is a non-custodial extension—you control your keys locally. To use the same account on both devices, you must manually export your secret recovery phrase or private key from the desktop extension and import it into the mobile browser extension. Be extremely careful when handling your recovery phrase, only enter it into the official Petra wallet interface, and never share it.
