Create Sidepit-Id Wallet

To start using Sidepit, the first step is to create a Sidepit-Id with the Unisat Wallet extension in your browser.

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

• Ensure you select a Native Segwit address type, which typically starts with bc1q.

Selecting Native Segwit to ensure a bc1q address

Once your Unisat Wallet is set up and you have a Native Segwit bc1q Bitcoin address, you’ve successfully created your Sidepit-ID and are ready for the next step in the setup process.
