Core Wallet is a fast, user-friendly crypto wallet designed for the Avalanche ecosystem. It offers lower fees, built-in bridging, and token swapping — making it an excellent choice for managing your Pick'em Coins on Kokomo.
This guide covers setting up Core Wallet, connecting it to your Kokomo account, and using it to purchase Pick'em Coins.
Why Use Core Wallet?
While Kokomo supports multiple wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet), Core Wallet has several advantages:
Lower Fees
Core is optimized for the Avalanche network, which typically has lower transaction fees than Ethereum-based networks.
Built-in Bridging
Core includes the Avalanche Bridge, allowing you to move assets like BTC into the Avalanche ecosystem quickly and securely — no need for third-party bridge services.
Token Management
The interface makes it easy to swap tokens, stake AVAX, and manage NFTs all in one place.
New User Incentives
New Core users receive Avalanche ecosystem tokens during onboarding, giving you a head start on transaction fees.
Setting Up Core Wallet
Core Wallet is available on multiple platforms. Choose the one that fits your setup.

Create Your Wallet
Step 1: Open Core Wallet after installation
Step 2: Select "Create New Wallet"
Step 3: Write down your recovery phrase
This is critical. Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your wallet if you lose access. Write it on paper, store it securely, and never share it with anyone.
Step 4: Confirm your recovery phrase
Core will ask you to verify your phrase by selecting words in the correct order.
Step 5: Set a password
This password encrypts your wallet on your device. Choose something strong and unique.
Step 6: Claim your onboarding tokens
New users receive Avalanche ecosystem tokens to help cover initial transaction fees. Follow the prompts to claim them.
Your wallet is now ready.

Common Questions
Can I use Core Wallet on both mobile and desktop?
Yes. Your recovery phrase works across all platforms. Import your wallet on any device using the same phrase.
Do I need to keep Core Wallet open after connecting to Kokomo?
No. Once connected, your wallet remains linked to your Kokomo account. You only need to open Core when making a purchase to approve the transaction.
Can I withdraw my Kokomo winnings to Core Wallet?
Yes. When you redeem Pick'em Coins or withdraw tournament winnings, you can send funds directly to your Core Wallet address.
Is Core Wallet safer than other wallets?
All reputable wallets (Core, MetaMask, Trust Wallet) offer similar security if you protect your recovery phrase. Core's advantage is speed and cost, not security.
Why Core Wallet Works Well for Pick'em
Pick'em is designed for regular, small transactions — entering Pro Leagues, buying coin packs, redeeming winnings. Core Wallet's low fees and fast confirmations make these frequent small transactions smooth.
If you're paying $10 to enter a Pro League, you don't want to wait 5 minutes for a transaction to confirm or pay $3 in fees. Core eliminates both problems.
Set it up once, connect it to Kokomo, and you're ready to buy coins and enter leagues in seconds.
