# Create Sidepit-Id Wallet

A Sidepit-ID is a Bitcoin address. For the current BETA, only Native Segwit addresses are valid. These are Bitcoin addresses that start with `bc1q`.

## UNISAT Install

To begin, you’ll need the Unisat Wallet extension installed in your browser. This wallet will allow you to hold and manage your Bitcoin, which you will then use to participate on Sidepit.

1. **Download the Unisat Wallet:**\
   Go to the official Unisat Wallet download page: <https://unisat.io/download>

* If creating a new Unisat Wallet, the extension will generate a private key and recovery phrase for you. **Be sure to securely store these in a safe place.**
* Ensure you select a **Native Segwit** address type, which typically starts with <mark style="color:orange;">`bc1q`</mark>.

Once your Unisat Wallet is set up and you have a Native Segwit <mark style="color:purple;">`bc1q`</mark> Bitcoin address, you’ve successfully created your Sidepit-ID and are ready for the next step in the setup process.
