Core mobile allows users to import additional accounts into an existing wallet. For instructions on how to import an account, please expand one of the following drop downs:

Recovery Phrase

  1. Tap the avatar located in the top-left corner.

  2. Select Manage all or add a wallet.

  3. In the Manage accounts section, tap the + icon in the top-right corner.

  4. Click Type in a recovery phrase.

  5. Enter the recovery phrase and click Import.

Private Key

  1. Tap the avatar located in the top-left corner.

  2. Select Manage all or add a wallet.

  3. In the Manage accounts section, tap the + icon in the top-right corner.

  4. Click Import a private key

  5. Enter the private key and click Import.

NOTE:

  • Users are only able to import private keys for EVM-compatible wallets into Core. If a Bitcoin address is associated with the private key but has a derivation path not supported by Core, the Bitcoin balance will not show up in your wallet.

  • Core supports 12, 18, and 24 word recovery phrases for importing.

  • DO NOT share wallet access keys with anyone else. No one at Ava Labs or Avalanche Foundation will EVER ask you for your recovery phrase, private keys, or password. If this information is given to another party, it will let them access the wallet, and this CAN NOT be reversed.
