For most of you, this tutorial will seem trivial and unnecessary.

But I'm sharing it anyway, because my aim is to make Flux's services accessible to as many people as possible, including the uninitiated in blockchain and crypto-currencies.

Foreword: I don't work for Flux. I'm simply an independent content creator who loves this project and wants to support it by offering free content for educational purposes.

1. Quick reminder: what is a wallet?

A wallet is a portfolio of crypto-currencies.

Put simply, it's the same as a bank account, but instead of storing euros and dollars, you store crypto-currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Flux.

A wallet offers many advantages over a bank account. These include the speed of transactions, which is almost immediate (just a few seconds), and the fact that transactions do not go through a third party (as a bank).

There are many different wallets offered by many different companies, just as there are many banks that offer to open a current account.

Today, we're going see how to download, register and use Zelcore, the Flux wallet.

2. How to download and register on Zelcore?

Step 1: Go to https://zelcore.io/

Step 2: Click on "Download Zelcore Desktop" (framed in green in the image below)

Step 3: Click on the download link corresponding to your computer's operating system

Step 4: Once the download is complete, open Zelcore to arrive on the home page as shown below

Step 5: Click on "Sync/Register" to create your account (framed in green in the image above)

Step 6: Create your username and password and remember to write them down in a safe place so you don't lose them

Step 7: Log in with the account you have just created

You now have access to your portfolio and should arrive on a page like this one.

PS: Don't forget to download the Zelcore application on your mobile if you want to access to your wallet anywhere at anytime.

3. How to use Zelcore?

When you arrive on Zelcore, by default you have six different wallets as you can see on the top of the home page named "Payments", "Revenu" etc...

These names are just nominative, it's just six random different wallets that allow you to segment your cryptocurrency holdings.

You can view your other wallets by simply clicking on them. You can also rename them if you want by clicking on one of them, then "See More Wallets" > "Edit Wallet".

So, the three main things you need to know to use your wallet are:

• Receive crypto-currencies
• Send crypto-currencies
• Make a fusion (to transfer a crypto-currency from one blockchain to another)

A) To receive crypto-currencies:

Step 1: From your portfolio, click on the crypto-currencies you want to receive (example with Bitcoin on the image below)

Step 2: Click on "Receive"

Step 3: Select the wallet where you want to receive the crypto-currencies and then, click on "Continue"

Step 4: Click on "Copy" to copy your wallet address and send it to the person who want to send you cryptocurrencies

B) To send crypto-currencies:

Step 1: Click on the crypto-currencies you want to send (example with Bitcoin on the image below)

Step 2: Click on "Send"

Step 3: Enter the address of the wallet you wish to send money to, enter the amount and click on "Send"

C) To make a fusion (transfer a cryptocurrency from a blockchain to another):

"In which case I need to make a fusion?"

Let's make an example.

If you bought your FLUX on Binance, for example, they are stored on the BNB Smart Chain and are not native FLUX but FLUX-BSC.

To obtain native FLUX, you need to add the FLUX-BSC asset to your portfolio by clicking on "Add Assets" > "Add Asset".

You can then send the FLUX you bought on Binance (FLUX-BSC) to your Zelcore FLUX-BSC wallet.

And then you can perform a Merge from Zelcore to convert your FLUX-BSC into native FLUX.

Step 1: Move your mouse to the left and click on "Apps"

Step 2: Click on "Fusion"

Step 3: Select the asset you wish to sell, select the asset you wish to buy, then click on "Swap!"

Now you know basics to use your Zelcore wallet!

As you can see on the "Apps" section, Zelcore wallet offer different features in addition to the classic wallets.

We are not going to detail each one because it's not the aim of this article but here is a quick list of you can find or do:

• An overview of your NFTs
• An overview of all the nodes of the Flux network
• A section to buy crypto directly inside the Zelcore wallet
• Connect your exchange (someone only available on premium version)
