# Establishing Legitimacy

## Open a new Tezos Wallet

To open a new wallet, while you can technically use any wallet as specified in the Tezos Wallet section of the [Tools Overview page](/nft-authentication-process/blockchain-specific-steps/tezos/tools-overview.md), for this tutorial, you need to use Kukai.&#x20;

1. Go to the Kukai wallet website and select "Create New Wallet" in the top right.

&#x20;   2\. You will be given a seed phrase, make sure to record this seed phrase and store it securely. You can follow [these best practices](https://www.makeuseof.com/store-crypto-seed-phrases/). Once recorded, set your password for this account.

3\. It will then give you the new public address for the account. Select <img src="/files/BTAQ8GVOSgM2gsf81uI9" alt="" data-size="line"> and proceed to your wallet.&#x20;

### Naming the Wallet

{% hint style="warning" %}
Before the wallet can be named, make sure that it has XTZ (the Tezos native currency in it). This can be purchased on almost any centralized exchange like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken or KuCoin based on your location and legal jurisdiction. Once you own XTZ, send it to this newly created wallet.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

1. Go to [Tezos Domains](https://tezos.domains) and click <img src="/files/0HVCSe8APfsIzArZ8DVA" alt="" data-size="line"> in the top right corner. Once on this page, connect your Temple Wallet with the dApp by clicking <img src="/files/u7Uyd2WzkRDndfYlXR4p" alt="" data-size="line"> in the top right corner. Make sure to select and connect with the Kukai Wallet that you want to be the main minting wallet. This will open up a new browser with Kukai and ask you to approve the connection.&#x20;

2\. Back on Tezos Domains, in the main search bar of the page, type in the name you would like to register this address under and select <img src="/files/ouNrSbZPqjgBoOVxJuIF" alt="" data-size="line">. Once you find a name you like, select the <img src="/files/28eaPOPPffzSpv0gqUOD" alt="" data-size="line"> button.&#x20;

3\. On the next page, select *Request* and sign the transaction with your Kukai Wallet. Go to the open Kukai tab on your browser to confirm the connection.&#x20;

4\. Select how long you want to register the domain for (1 XTZ is 1 year for ownership) and where the domain points to. Then, select *Register.* Go to the open Kukai tab on your browser to confirm the transaction.&#x20;

**5. Finally, you now have a named wallet that will serve as the only legitimate source of the NFT certificates.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://adam-shinder.gitbook.io/nft-authentication-process/blockchain-specific-steps/tezos/establishing-legitimacy.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
