## XVerse Wallet

1. **Setup Guide:** XVerse is a web-based Bitcoin wallet designed for seamless transactions and user-friendly management.
   * **Creating a Wallet:**
     * Visit the XVerse website.
     * Click on "Create Wallet" and follow the prompts to generate a new wallet.
     * Scure the seed phrase provided safely.
2. **Special Cases of BTC Accounts Connected to the Website via Xverse**

   When a user connects their BTC wallet to Merlin Chain via Xverse (after a successful connection), and later imports this BTC account into UniSat and connects via a Taproot address, the receiving address will differ during their bridging in and out. 

   * All **BTC / Ordinals** that **bridging in** the account will be directed to ***the AA address corresponding to the BTC account's Nested SegWit address***. This applies whether the transfer is initiated from a Taproot or a Nested SegWit. When users initiate via UniSat with a Taproot address, the AA wallet address will differ from the receiving AA address. 
   * All the **bridged-out BTC** will also go to ***the Nested SegWit address***, regardless of whether the transfer originates from a Taproot AA or a Nested SegWit AA. 
   * All **Ordinals bridged-out** via Merlin Official Bridge will be sent to the Taproot address of the BTC account, regardless of whether the transfer is initiated from a Taproot AA or a Nested SegWit AA. 

   **Note:** This is primarily designed to accommodate the unique utilization of BTC addresses by AA accounts and Xverse.
