Supported export methods

Export your private key in different forms of backup files, and use these files to restore & import the account again if you so wish.

Depending on the type of account you want to export, SubWallet supports different export methods:

(*): The exported JSON file cannot be imported into EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.).

(**): When importing a JSON file containing watch-only accounts, these accounts remain watch-only. You cannot transfer funds or actively participate in any activities with them.
