*In this article, you will learn how to create a mobile Loopring Smart Wallet.*

### 1. Install the Loopring Smart Wallet app <a href="#id-1__install_the_loopring_smart_wallet_app" id="id-1__install_the_loopring_smart_wallet_app"></a>

Download and install the Loopring Smart Wallet app on your iOS or Android mobile device. On a mobile device, visit the official website to install: <https://loopring.io/#/wallet>

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also search for the app directly on the App Store or Google Play Store using the keywords **loopring** or **loopring smart wallet**.

### 2. Create a new wallet <a href="#id-2__create_a_new_wallet" id="id-2__create_a_new_wallet"></a>

Once installed, open the app and tap the **Create a new wallet** button on the homepage.

### 3. Register with your mobile phone number or email <a href="#id-3__register_with_your_mobile_phone_number_or_email" id="id-3__register_with_your_mobile_phone_number_or_email"></a>

Enter a mobile phone number or email address to act as your [official Loopring guardian](/security/guardians.md). This contact will be used to verify your identity in case you need to recover or lock your wallet.

After you determine if you would like to use a phone number or email:

* Tap Send Code
* Slide to complete the puzzle
* Enter the verification code

{% hint style="info" %}
**Wallet tip:** If your mobile phone number does not receive the verification code, register with an email instead or try again later if you have attempted a few times.
{% endhint %}

### 4. Enter the invitation code <a href="#id-4__enter_the_invitation_code" id="id-4__enter_the_invitation_code"></a>

If you have a friend’s invitation code, you can enter it as shown below. Once the wallet is successfully created, both you and your friend will earn 1,000 [points](/additional-features/points.md), which may be used to deduct transfer fees in the future. If you don’t have an invitation code, simply tap Skip in the top-right corner.

### 5. Review the available account types <a href="#id-5__review_the_available_account_types" id="id-5__review_the_available_account_types"></a>

You have the option to choose between two types of accounts, or both. First, we need to understand the difference between a L2 wallet and a full Loopring Smart Wallet (L1 + L2).

> *Activate Ethereum and Loopring Accounts (L1 + L2)*

* Provides advanced features and security such as Social Recovery, lock protection, daily limits, and more. There is a one-time gas fee for deploying the smart contract to L1. Activating the full Smart Wallet also provides users with immediate access to L2.

> &#x20;*Activate Loopring Account (L2)*

* Functions like a traditional wallet but is deployed directly on L2 - skipping the Ethereum layer and its creation fee. If there is a need to withdraw funds back to L1, you can deploy your L1 smart contract wallet, paying for the creation fee at that time.
