+## Introduction
+
+Welcome to our guide on how to store TFT tokens (Stellar) via the [Albedo wallet](https://albedo.link/)! 
+
+Albedo is a secure and trustworthy keystore web app and browser extension designed for Stellar token accounts. With Albedo, you can safely manage and transact with your Stellar account without having to share your secret key with any third parties.
+Developed by the creators of stellar.expert explorer, Albedo offers a range of features, including storage, swaps, and participation in liquidity pools. It is an open-source solution that can be accessed directly from your browser or installed as a browser add-on, currently available for Chrome and Firefox.
+
+In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of storing Stellar TFT tokens using the Albedo wallet.
+***
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **XLM**: When storing TFT tokens using the Albedo wallet, a certain amount of XLM funding is required to facilitate the sending and receiving of assets on the Stellar network.
+
+There are multiple ways to acquire XLM and send it to your wallet. One option is to utilize XLM-supported exchanges, which provide a convenient platform for purchasing XLM. Click [here](https://www.coinlore.com/coin/stellar/exchanges) to access a comprehensive list of exchanges that support XLM.
+
+As an example, we have created a tutorial specifically focusing on how to buy XLM on Coinbase, one of the popular cryptocurrency exchanges. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on the process of purchasing XLM on **Coinbase Exchange**. You can find the tutorial [**here**](../buy_sell_tft/coinbase_xlm.md).
+***
+## Get Started
+
+### Create and Fund Albedo Wallet
+
+Go to [https://albedo.link/signup](https://albedo.link/signup) to start your sign up process.
+
+![](img/albedo_signup.png)
+
+Ensure you save your 24-word recovery passphrase. This is very important!
+Click “**I saved recovery phrase**” (Again, it is critical that you save this recovery phrase somewhere, and do so securely). This key is the only way you could recover your account if you ever lose access to it.
+
+![](img/albedo_secret.png)
+
+Congrats! You just created an Albedo wallet. To get started swapping tokens into TFT, firstly we would need to fund your wallet with XLM by clicking '**fund it**' on the homepage.
+
+![](img/albedo_fund.png)
+
+Send some XLM for a third party wallets or stellar exchanger of your choice to your Albedo XLM wallet. 
+
+![](img/albedo_receive.png)
+
+Once you sent the XLM, you will see the balance added to the homepage. now we are ready to do some token transactions!
+
+![](img/albedo_home.png)
+
+### Add TFT asset to Albedo Wallet
+
+To store TFT in our Albedo Wallet, we will need to have a TFT wallet added into our account. This is done by  creating a trustline for TFT. Creating a trustline means granting permission for your Albedo wallet to recognize and interact with TFT tokens on the Stellar network. It allows you to view your TFT balance, send and receive TFT tokens, and engage in swapping or trading activities involving TFT within the Albedo wallet.
+
+To add a trustline, go to the “**Balance**” section, and click “**Add trustline**” button.
+
+![](img/albedo_activate.png)
+
+A popup window will appear presenting Albedo's asset list. In the search field that appears, type in '**TFT**' as the asset you want to add.
+
+**It is important to ensure that you also see the name "threefold.io" next to the logo** , as this verifies that you are selecting the genuine TFT asset associated with ThreeFold. **Beware of imposters or fraudulent assets that may attempt to mimic TFT.** ThreeFold cannot assume responsibility for any errors or mistakes made during the trustline creation process done by users. If you have any uncertainties or doubts, it is always recommended to seek assistance from official support channels or trusted sources to ensure the accuracy of the trustline configuration.
+
+![](img/albedo_select_asset.png)
+
+Confirm the selected asset by pressing “**Add trustline**”.
+
+![](img/albedo_trustline.png)
+
+Congrats! You have now successfully added TFT as an asset to your Albedo wallet. 
+
+### Storing / Receiving and Sending TFT
+
+You can now store TFT by depositing it from another wallet by copying your public Albedo wallet address and sending it to the withdrawer.
+
+You can also transfer TFT to another stellar wallet by clicking the '**Transfer**' icon on your wallet navbar and specify the amount of TFT and the receipient's wallet address and memo (if any), and click 'Transfer' button to finish the transaction.

+
+Install either the [2FA Alp Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alp.two_fa) or [Google Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en&gl=US) app on your mobile phone.

+![](img/alpha_2fa.png)

+
+![](img/alpha_wallet.png)
+

+
+### Important Notice
+
+While it is possible to keep your TFT in your exchange wallet on BTC-Alpha, it is generally not recommended to store your funds there for an extended period. Public exchanges are more susceptible to security breaches and hacking attempts compared to personal wallets.
+
+To ensure the safety and security of your TFT holdings, it is advisable to transfer them to a dedicated TFT wallet. There are several options available for creating a TFT wallet, each with its own unique features and benefits.
+
+To explore different TFT wallet options and choose the one that best suits your needs, you can refer to our comprehensive [**TFT Wallet guide**](../storing_tft/tf_connect_app.md#create-a-wallet) that provides a list of recommended TFT wallets.

+## Introduction
+
+You can store TFT on a hardwallet for optimal security.
+
+Also, if you are a farmer, instead of using the ThreeFold Connect app to receive your farming rewards (TFTs), you can also have your farming rewards sent to a hardware wallet. In this case, you will need to enable a TFT trustline to receive TFT. 
+
+You can store TFT on a hardware wallet on Stellar chain, BSC or the Ethereum chain. For this guide, we show how to store TFT on a hardware wallet on Stellar chain.
+
+To store TFT on Stellar, you can use any hardware wallet that supports the Stellar Blockchain, such as a [Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/).
+
+## Setting up a TFT Trustline on Stellar Blockchain
+
+Setting up a trustline is simple.
+
+We will show an example with a Ledger hardware wallet. The process is similar with other hardware wallets. Just make sure that your hardware wallet is compatible with the Stellar blockchain, as the TFT from farming rewards will be sent on the Stellar Blockchain.
+
+* First, [download Ledger Live](https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/download) and download the Stellar application in **Manager**.
+* Go on an official Stellar website such as [Stellarterm](https://stellarterm.com/) or [StellarX](https://www.stellarx.com/). For this example, we will be using Stellarterm.com.
+
+* Unlock your Ledger by entering your password.
+
+* Select the Stellar App.
+  * In our case, we do not need to create an account on Stellerterm, since we are using a hardware wallet.
+
+* On Stellarterm.com, click on the button **LOGIN**.
+
+![farming_wallet_7](./img/farming_wallet_7.png)
+
+
+* At the bottom of the page, select the option **Ledger** or another option if you are using a different hardware wallet.
+
+![farming_wallet_8](./img/farming_wallet_8.png)
+
+* Click **Connect with Ledger**.
+
+![farming_wallet_9](./img/farming_wallet_9.png)
+
+
+* Read and accept the Terms of Use.
+
+![farming_wallet_10](./img/farming_wallet_10.png)
+
+
+* On the main page, click on **Assets**.
+
+![farming_wallet_11](./img/farming_wallet_11.png)
+
+* Scroll down and write **Threefold.io** in the Text box. Select **TFT Threefold.io**. Click **Accept**. Then follow the steps presented on your hardware wallet to confirm the trust line.
+
+![farming_wallet_12](./img/farming_wallet_12.png)
+![farming_wallet_13](./img/farming_wallet_13.png)
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You now have a TFT trust line on the Stellar Blockchain. You can now receive TFT on this wallet. This is a perfect setup to farm TFT safely.
+
+When it comes to choosing where to send your farming rewards, you simply need to enter the address associated with your hardware wallet.
