Import a wallet from another app into Phantom

You can bring a wallet from another app into Phantom using either a recovery phrase or a private key.

• Use a recovery phrase to import the full wallet, including all accounts across supported networks (recommended).
• Use a private key to import one address on one network.

Phantom supports 12-word and 24-word recovery phrases. If your recovery phrase has a different length, you’ll need to import it using a wallet app that supports that format.

Step 1: Export your wallet from the other app

Before importing into Phantom, export the correct information from your existing wallet app:

• Export a recovery phrase if you want to see all accounts linked to that wallet.
• Export a private key if you only need a single address on a specific network.

Refer to your wallet app’s documentation for instructions. Links to guides from popular wallet apps are listed in the last section.
