## STEP 3 - Check Mnemonic

* Review and securely store the mnemonic (seed phrase).
* Complete the verification process to finalize wallet creation.

* The **mnemonic is essential for wallet recovery** and should be stored securely.
* Sharing the mnemonic is equivalent to **sharing access to the wallet**.
* If lost, the **mnemonic cannot be recovered**, so ensure it is safely backed up.
