SMART DEFENDER is a physical card with an NFC chip that stores a part of the private key. It is used to confirm transactions in SMART Wallet—transferring tokens, requesting rewards for splitting, and so forth. To confirm a transaction, simply tap the SMART DEFENDER cold wallet against the smartphone on which SMART Wallet is installed. In this guide, we will show you how to set up SMART DEFENDER for your wallet. We will demonstrate three configuration options for SMART DEFENDER:
- For a new wallet,
- For an imported wallet,
- For an existing wallet.
If you already have Smart Wallet installed, use the information below.

On the next screen, you will be prompted to place your SMART DEFENDER next to your smartphone. Position the card by the camera side, as that is typically where the chip is located in smartphones.

Note that in some cases, you may need to enable NFC in your device settings.
Once the setup is complete, you will see a notification confirming this:
