How to larp crypto honestly: a larp wallet tutorial in five steps

From an empty wallet to a clip you can publish, with a Mockup label on screen from the first frame to the last.

What you are making

"Larp wallet" means three different things (the definition of a larp wallet separates them). Here it means one: a wallet screen you compose and show as an illustration, in a skit, an explainer, a lesson or an edit. The prices are real, the quantities are yours, and the screen holds nothing. For creators: what a shoot needs from the wallet, in one page.

Step 1: plan the screen from the script

Start from the line where the wallet appears. A viewer gets a second or two with the screen, enough to read one number: the total. Decide what that number does in the scene, then plan three to five rows under it, largest on top, as in a real portfolio list.

A rough dollar value divided by the live price gives each row its quantity; the total then lands where it lands (how a mockup balance is composed). For the built-in tokens, price and 24-hour change come from the market: if the script says "a red day" and the market is green, change the line, not the numbers.

Step 2: compose it

• Name and avatar. The default name is our own address. Replace both with invented ones, never a real person's or a real wallet's; from then on, the Step 5 label is the only marker on screen.
• Search text. It shows in every frame: replace the default with your own words.
• Tokens. SOL, ETH, BTC, HYPE and USDC are drawn and priced live; any other token is a custom row whose price stays as typed (which tokens a mockup can show).
• Order. Rows move with the arrows and never re-sort themselves: recheck after each change.

Leave the total and change fields empty. Typed, the total stays fixed while the rows reprice every 4 seconds, and the header and the list soon disagree on camera.

Rehearse on the free demo first

The free demo runs the same wallet screen with no account, its settings reduced to the name, the cash and five quantities. Tap +, then Add Cash, to open them; tap a token for its chart, the avatar for the drawer. It allows 12 changes before a reset and tiles a DEMO mark across the screen, so it is for rehearsing. Unlock a new wallet from the same browser soon after and it starts from that composition, without the mark; set its search text and avatar then.

Step 3: open it on your phone

Open your address on mylarpwallet.com on the phone you film with and add it to the home screen, so it opens full screen with no address bar (the steps per browser; no APK or IPA exists). With the browser gone from the frame, the label in Step 5 is what tells viewers the screen is composed.

Step 4: record or screenshot

Use the phone's screenshot buttons or its built-in screen recorder, at native resolution (recording a wallet screen for video covers the settings). Stay online, since offline the live prices freeze, and if the scene is about prices moving, hold the first shot past one 4-second refresh (when movement matters).

Step 5: label it

Put Mockup on screen as text for as long as the wallet is visible: in the frame, not only in the caption, because clips get reposted without their description. Never add:

• reactions presented as real;
• captions about income or gains;
• a side-by-side of a "real" wallet and a larp one;
• a real person's name or handle next to a balance.

The finished clip has no address to look up and no transaction to confirm. The label says so before anyone has to ask.

Questions

How do you larp crypto without deceiving anyone?

Treat the wallet screen as an illustration and say so where the viewer looks: a Mockup label in the frame for as long as the wallet is visible, no caption about gains or holdings, and no real person's name or handle next to a balance. It turns into deception the moment the image is offered as a real balance or as proof of funds, which our terms of use prohibit.

What should the on-screen label say, and where?

One word is enough: Mockup, or a short line such as Simulated wallet, not real funds. Put it in the video itself, because clips are reposted without their description. Keep it off the numbers, above the bottom and away from the right edge of a vertical frame, where platforms draw their own buttons, and leave it there for every second the wallet shows.

Does this work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. The wallet is a web app, so both phones open it at your own address. On an iPhone, add it to the home screen from Safari or a recent Chrome; on Android, accept the install prompt or use the browser menu. Both phones have a built-in screen recorder. There is no App Store or Google Play listing, no APK and no IPA.
