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

This tool operates directly within your browser, supporting Chromium-based and Firefox frameworks. A single setup provides immediate interaction with decentralized applications on the Aptos blockchain.

Transaction finality occurs in under one second. Network fees typically cost a fraction of a cent. Your private keys remain exclusively under your control, stored locally.

Direct token swaps, NFT management, and staking operations are accessible from any active tab. The interface presents clear data on asset values and transaction history without unnecessary complexity.

Setup requires about thirty seconds. Import an existing account or generate a new one directly. The process involves creating a secure passphrase–the only element you must record and store privately.

Q&A:

Does this wallet work with the Kiwi browser on Android?

Yes, the Petra wallet extension is fully compatible with the Kiwi browser on Android. Since Kiwi supports desktop Chrome extensions, you can install Petra directly from the Chrome Web Store. The functionality for managing Aptos assets and connecting to dApps is the same as on desktop browsers.

I installed Petra on Brave. Why can’t I see it?

After installing, the Petra icon might be hidden in your browser’s extensions puzzle piece menu. Click the puzzle icon in your toolbar and pin Petra to your toolbar for easy access. Also, ensure the extension is enabled in your browser’s extension management page. A hard refresh of a dApp page (Ctrl+F5) can sometimes help it detect the newly installed wallet.

Can I use my same wallet account on both Chrome and Firefox?

Absolutely. Your wallet account is based on your secret recovery phrase, not the browser. You can install Petra on both browsers and use “Import Existing Wallet” with your 12 or 24-word phrase. The same account will be available on both, showing your identical Aptos balance and transaction history.

Is it safe to connect Petra to any Aptos dApp?

You should verify a dApp’s legitimacy before connecting. Petra will show you the transaction details for approval, but it cannot stop malicious sites from requesting connections. Only connect to dApps you trust. Check the site URL, look for community reviews, and start with small transactions. Never enter your secret phrase on any website.

What happens to my wallet if I uninstall the browser or clear data?

If you uninstall the extension or browser without backing up, you will lose access to your wallet. The wallet data is stored locally in the browser. Before any cleanup, ensure you have your secret recovery phrase written down securely. With that phrase, you can reinstall Petra on any supported browser and recover your funds and account completely.

Does the Petra wallet work with all Aptos dApps in my browser?

Yes, Petra Wallet setup is the original and most widely supported wallet for the Aptos network. It’s designed to interact seamlessly with any decentralized application (dApp) built on Aptos. When you visit an Aptos dApp in your browser (like Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Kiwi), the site will typically detect your Petra wallet extension and prompt you to connect. You can then approve transactions directly from the extension’s pop-up interface. Its broad compatibility makes it a reliable choice for exploring the Aptos ecosystem.

I use Brave and Kiwi browsers. Is installing Petra on both safe, and can I use the same account?

You can safely install the Petra extension on multiple browsers. However, your wallet account exists locally in each browser’s extension data, not automatically synced between them. To use the same account on Brave and Kiwi, you must manually import your secret recovery phrase (the 12 or 24-word phrase) during the setup process in the second browser. Do this carefully in a private setting. Never enter your secret phrase on a website—only ever in the official wallet extension itself. Using the same phrase creates access to the same account from both browsers.
