# How to Import a Wallet?

If you have backed up your **Recovery Phrase**, **Private Key**, or **Keystore**, you can import your existing wallet into TokenPocket and continue managing the same wallet address and on-chain assets.

This guide uses **importing an Ethereum wallet using a Recovery Phrase** as an example. The steps are similar for other supported chains and import methods.

> **Security Reminder**
>
> Your Recovery Phrase, Private Key, and Keystore are the credentials that control your wallet. Anyone with access to them can take control of your assets.
>
> Always import your wallet in a private and secure environment. Never take screenshots, record your screen, or share your backup information through messaging apps or any online service.
>
> TokenPocket will never ask for your Recovery Phrase, Private Key, or Keystore.

### 1. Open the Add Wallet Page

Open TokenPocket, tap the **Add Wallet** icon, then select the network of the wallet you want to import.

In this guide, we'll use **Ethereum** as an example.

### 2. Choose the Import Method

Tap **Import Wallet**, then select **Recovery Phrase** as the import method.

TokenPocket supports multiple import methods, including **Recovery Phrase**, **Private Key**, and **Keystore**. Make sure you choose the method that matches your backup. Do not enter a Recovery Phrase on the Private Key or Keystore import page.

### 3. Enter Your Wallet Information

Enter your Recovery Phrase in the original order, with each word separated by a single space.

After confirming the information is correct, check **I have read and agree to the Terms of Service**, then tap **Import Wallet**.

## Notes

* Never share your Recovery Phrase, Private Key, or Keystore through messaging apps, cloud storage services, email, or online forms.
* If some assets don't appear after importing your wallet, first make sure you've switched to the correct network, then try adding the token manually if needed.

## FAQs

### 1. My wallet has assets, but they don't appear after importing. Why?

First, make sure the imported wallet address matches your original wallet address.

* **If the address matches:** Make sure you're on the correct network. If needed, add the token manually and refresh the asset list.
* **If the address doesn't match:** Check that your Recovery Phrase is correct, including the spelling and order of each word.
* **If your assets are on another network:** Switch to the corresponding network, or use **Wallet Sync** if needed.

***

### 2. What should I do if my Recovery Phrase is invalid?

Check the following:

* The words are spelled correctly and in the correct order.
* You're using the **Recovery Phrase** import option, not **Private Key** or **Keystore**.
* The number of words is correct (such as 12, 18, or 24).

***

### 3. What should I do if my Private Key is invalid?

Make sure the Private Key is complete and correctly formatted. Avoid extra spaces, line breaks, or missing characters.

***

### 4. Will importing my wallet affect the original wallet?

No. Importing a wallet does not affect the original wallet or its assets.

The same Recovery Phrase, Private Key, or Keystore can be used to restore the same wallet on multiple trusted devices.
