Losing access to your on-chain wallet can be stressful — but with the right steps and precautions, recovery is possible in many cases. Whether you accidentally deleted your wallet app, switched devices, or simply can’t remember your login method, understanding the recovery process is key to regaining control of your assets.
What Is an On-Chain Wallet?
An on-chain wallet stores your cryptocurrency and interacts directly with blockchain networks. Unlike centralized exchange wallets, you have full control of your keys and funds. This freedom comes with responsibility — if you lose your access credentials, there’s no “forgot password” button that magically restores your wallet.
Steps to Recover an On-Chain Wallet
1. Locate Your Seed Phrase
Your wallet’s recovery seed phrase is the master key to your funds. When you first created your wallet, you were given 12–24 words — this is your backup.
- Check your written notes, password managers, or secure storage.
- If you saved it digitally, ensure it’s in an encrypted location.
2. Reinstall or Restore Wallet App
Download the official wallet application (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet) from the official source. Select the “Import Wallet” or “Restore Wallet” option, then enter your seed phrase exactly as given.
3. Use the Same Network Settings
After restoring, ensure you reconnect to the correct blockchain network (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Arbitrum, etc.) so your balances display correctly.
4. Check Token Visibility
If your tokens don’t appear immediately, manually add their contract addresses. Many wallets require this for certain assets.
5. Avoid Phishing or Fake Recovery Services
Be cautious of anyone offering to “recover your wallet” in exchange for private keys or seed phrases. Only trust official wallet apps and verified sources.
6. Contact Wallet Customer Service for Guidance
If you face technical issues during recovery, our On-Chain Wallet Customer Service team can walk you through safe, step-by-step solutions.
Best Practices to Prevent Future Loss
- Store your seed phrase offline in multiple secure locations.
- Use a hardware wallet for large holdings.
- Regularly back up wallet configurations.
- Avoid sharing private keys under any circumstance.
