Petra Aptos Wallet Your Secure Browser Extension for Chrome Firefox Brave Kiwi

Directly manage digital assets from your browser’s toolbar. This tool supports four major Chromium-based and Gecko-based navigators.

Transaction finality occurs in under one second. Network fees cost a fraction of a cent. The interface strips away all complexity, requiring only a password to begin.

Your secret recovery phrase never leaves your device. It is not stored on remote servers. Interaction with decentralized applications is seamless, requiring no additional confirmations for established connections.

Add the extension to access decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, and non-fungible token markets directly. Portfolio tracking is automatic and updates in real-time. The setup process completes in under sixty seconds.

This is not custodial software. You retain absolute control over keys and authorization. It is the primary gateway for a leading scalable distributed ledger.

Install the Petra Browser Extension in Under a Minute

Navigate directly to the official store for your preferred internet navigator.

Select the ‘Add to Browser’ button; confirmation typically requires a single click.

Pin the utility to your toolbar post-installation for immediate one-click access during transactions.

Generate a new seed phrase directly within the interface, writing the twelve words in the exact sequence presented.

Finalize setup by creating a secure local password to encrypt the stored data on this machine.

Managing Your APT and Other Tokens via the Petra Interface

Directly from the extension’s main view, check your total balance and recent transactions. Each asset is listed with its current value.

Select the Receive button to display your unique address; a QR code simplifies transfers from mobile applications.

To send assets, input the destination address, select the token, and specify the amount. The network fee is displayed before you confirm. Use the address book to label frequent contacts.

Add new tokens by pasting the asset’s contract address into the designated field; your balance for it will appear automatically after confirmation.

Monitor staking activities in a dedicated section. View current rewards, validator performance, and manage your delegated positions from a single dashboard.

For security, approve each transaction manually. Review all details in the pop-up prompt before signing. Adjust connection permissions for linked applications in the settings menu.

Connecting the Wallet to Aptos dApps and Games

Click the extension icon in your browser’s toolbar to open the interface and select ‘Create a New Account’ or ‘Import Existing’. Securely store the generated 12-word recovery phrase offline; this is the only way to restore access.

Fund your new address by receiving APT tokens from an exchange or another account. A small balance, around 0.5 APT, covers initial transaction fees.

Visit a supported decentralized application, like a swap protocol or NFT marketplace. Locate and select the ‘Connect’ button, typically found in the top corner.

A connection request pop-up from your browser extension will appear. Review the permissions, often limited to viewing your address. Confirm the request to establish the link.

For gaming applications, the process is similar: initiate connection from the game’s site. Authorize transactions for minting or in-game actions directly within the extension’s prompt, verifying gas fees each time.

Manage active connections in your extension’s settings under ‘Connected Sites’. Revoke access for any applications you no longer use.

Configuring Transaction Security and Account Recovery

Activate the multi-signature feature for any transfer exceeding a 0.5 APT threshold. Assign one key to a hardware module and another to a trusted, offline device.

Define a transaction simulation policy. Review the full payload, estimated gas costs, and recipient address details in a sandboxed preview before signing.

Establish a time-locked recovery address. This designated account cannot execute transactions for a 48-hour period after being set, preventing immediate unauthorized access.

Store your 12-word mnemonic phrase using a durable medium like stamped steel, split across two separate physical locations. Never store a digital copy.

Enable transaction limits per session. For instance, restrict outgoing value to 5 APT within any 24-hour window from new browser installations.

Use a dedicated passkey for daily operations and keep your primary seed phrase completely disconnected from network-connected software.

Configure a transaction signing delay for addresses holding significant balances. A mandatory 12-hour waiting period allows for intervention if a signature is coerced.

Swapping Assets and Tracking NFT Collections Inside Petra

Connect the extension to a decentralized exchange like Liquidswap or Aux. Execute trades directly from the asset view.

• Check real-time price impact and liquidity pool fees before confirming; rates update with each block.
• Set a maximum slippage of 0.5% for major pairs like APT/USDC to minimize front-running risk.
• Approve token spending limits per session, not infinite allowances, for better security control.

Monitor your digital collectibles by adding contract addresses manually. The interface groups items by set and lists traits.

1. Filter holdings by specific attributes to assess rarity scores directly in your inventory.
2. Track floor price fluctuations for saved collections using integrated market data from Topaz or BlueMove.
3. Verify provenance on-chain for each item; the transaction history shows the full mint and transfer path.

Use custom RPC endpoints from providers like Nodies or Blast API to load portfolio data faster during high network congestion.

Q&A:

Does this wallet work with the Aptos blockchain only, or can I use it for other networks like Solana or Ethereum?

This wallet is specifically built for the Aptos blockchain. It is designed to interact with Aptos dApps, store APT tokens, and handle Aptos-based NFTs. You cannot use it to manage assets on Ethereum, Solana, or other non-Aptos networks. For those, you would need separate, dedicated wallets.

I use Kiwi browser. Is it fully supported?

Yes, the Petra wallet extension is confirmed to work with Kiwi browser, which is Chromium-based. The installation process is the same as for Chrome or Brave. You can add it from the Chrome Web Store directly within Kiwi.

How do I get my secret recovery phrase if I install Petra on two different browsers?

You only create your secret recovery phrase once, during the initial wallet setup on your first browser. To use the same wallet on a second browser, you do NOT create a new wallet. Instead, you install Petra on the new browser and select the “Import Existing Wallet” option. Then, you enter your original 12 or 24-word recovery phrase. This will give you access to the same account on both browsers.

Is it safe to connect this wallet to any Aptos website?

You should be careful. Always check the website’s URL and reputation before connecting your Petra wallet. Only connect to sites you trust. When a site requests a connection, Petra will show the permission request. Review it. Never enter your secret recovery phrase on any website—a legitimate site will never ask for it.

What happens to my wallet if I uninstall the browser extension?

Uninstalling the extension removes the wallet’s interface from your browser, but your account on the Aptos blockchain remains. Your funds are safe. To access them again, you must re-install the Petra Wallet first time setup extension and use your secret recovery phrase to import your wallet. This is why keeping your recovery phrase secure and offline is the most important step.

Does this wallet work with the Aptos blockchain on all the browsers listed: Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Kiwi?

Yes, the Petra wallet extension is built to function correctly on all four browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Kiwi. Since Brave and Kiwi are based on Chromium (the same foundation as Chrome), the extension runs identically. The Firefox version is adapted for that browser’s specific architecture. You can install it from the official Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Brave, and Kiwi, and from the Firefox Add-ons website for Firefox. The core features—managing APT coins, interacting with Aptos dApps, staking, and swapping tokens—remain the same across all browsers.

I’m new to Aptos. If I install Petra, how do I get my existing tokens into it? I don’t want to lose anything.

You need to import your existing wallet using your secret recovery phrase (usually 12 or 24 words). Do not just create a new wallet, as that will generate a new, empty account. During the Petra setup, select “Import Wallet” and carefully enter your phrase. This will restore your account address and balance on this new device/browser. Before transferring any assets, verify that the restored address in Petra matches your old address. For extra safety, try a tiny test transaction first. Never enter your secret phrase into any website, only directly into the wallet extension itself.
