How to use Spixi

Thank you for trying Spixi. This guide will help you get started with our decentralized messenger and wallet.

Creating a new account

When you run Spixi for the first time, tap the "New Account" button.

You will need to set your Nickname. Optionally you can add a custom avatar.

Please note that this is only your displayed name to other Spixi users and it is not your "handle". You can always change your Nickname in the settings.

To finish creating your account, enter your encryption password.

Please note that the encryption password will be used to encrypt your Account/Wallet. Should you ever lose your device or need to restore your Spixi Account/Wallet, you will need it along with the Backup File. You can change this password in the settings menu.

Restoring your existing account

Tap the "Restore your Account" button to restore your existing Spixi Account.

Enter the encryption password and select the Backup File that is associated with it. Tap "Restore" button to finish restoring your Spixi Account.
