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.

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