How to Transfer SHIB from Exchange to Wallet: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction to SHIB Transfers

SHIB, an Ethereum-based meme token, requires careful handling when moving from exchanges to personal wallets. This guide walks you through transferring SHIB to TokenPocket (TP) Wallet while emphasizing security best practices.

Preparation Checklist

1. Install TokenPocket Wallet
   Download the official TP Wallet (https://www.tokenpocket.pro), a multi-chain compatible wallet with intuitive interface.
2. ETH Reserve
   Since SHIB operates on Ethereum, you'll need ETH for gas fees. We recommend keeping at least 0.1 ETH for transactions.
