Create a Quantova Account with QMask

It is purpose built to manage Quantova network accounts, Quantova network assets, and applications executed through the QVM execution layer.

QMask supports only the Quantova network and does not connect to external or third party blockchains.

Step 1 Use the Quantova Native Wallet

Access to the Quantova network requires a Quantova native wallet.

QMask provides

  • Secure creation and management of Quantova network accounts
  • Native handling of Quantova network assets, including QTOV, the driving native asset of the Quantova chain
  • Direct interaction with QVM based applications
  • A self custodial security model with no intermediaries

Step 2 Install QMask

Download and install QMask from official Quantova distribution channels.

QMask is available as

  • A browser extension
  • A mobile application

All cryptographic operations are performed locally on your device.

QMask never takes custody of accounts, keys, or assets.

Step 3 Create Your Quantova Account

Open QMask and select Create Account.

During setup

  • A new Quantova network account is generated
  • A unique Quantova address is assigned
  • The account is immediately usable across Quantova applications and services

QMask does not support accounts from other networks.

Step 4 Secure Your Recovery Phrase

QMask will generate a recovery phrase linked to your Quantova network account.

This recovery phrase

  • Is required to restore account access
  • Grants full control over Quantova network assets
  • Must be stored securely and offline

Quantova does not have access to recovery phrases and cannot restore them.
