Import from seed phrase

Securely recover your account by importing it using a 12- or 24-word seed phrase

Supported seed phrase types

SubWallet currently supports seed phrases created from words in the BIP-39 wordlist. Supported seed phrase types include:

Seed phrase type	Corresponding imported account type
12-word seed phrase	Unified account
15-word seed phrase*	Unified account
24-word seed phrase**	Unified account TON account

(*): SubWallet only supports importing 15-word seed phrases from Cardano-native wallets (Yoroi, Typhoon, Lace, etc.). After importing, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you, ensuring that its Cardano address matches the address displayed from those native wallets.

(**): If you import the seed phrase created from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you. If the seed phrase is from a TON-native wallet, SubWallet will restore your existing TON account.

If you import a seed phrase incompatible with SubWallet, you may be unable to import the account, or the imported account may not be the one you intended to import.

Trust Wallet, Safepal, and TON-native wallets are among the wallets that are not compatible with SubWallet.
