Do you want to import your Relai wallet into another wallet application that supports the BIP-39 standard? This guide explains step-by-step how to import your Relai wallet into another BIP-39-compatible wallet application.
What is BIP-39?
BIP-39 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39) is a standard that allows the use of a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase in English to restore or import Bitcoin wallets. Since Relai is also BIP-39 compatible, you can easily import your wallet into other wallet apps.
Steps to Import Your Relai Wallet into Another Wallet Application:
1. Retrieve the Recovery Phrase from the Relai App
Open the Relai App.
Go to ‘Profile’ -> ‘Your Recovery Phrase.’
Write down your 12-word recovery phrase securely offline on paper or metal. Make sure to write the words in the correct order.
2. Choose a BIP-39 Compatible Wallet
Select a wallet application that supports the BIP-39 standard. You should do your own research on which one suits you the best.
3. Install the Wallet App
Download the selected wallet application from the official app store or website.
Install the app on your device.
4. Import the Recovery Phrase
Open the wallet app.
Select the option to ‘Restore Wallet’ or ‘Import Recovery Phrase.’
Enter the 12-word recovery phrase you wrote down from the Relai app.
5. Select the Correct Derivation Path
Relai uses the derivation path m/84’/0’/0’/0/0 of your HD wallet, which is for native SegWit (Bech32) addresses.
6. Verify the Wallet
Once the import is complete, your BTC balance should display correctly.
Important Notes:
Never share your 12 words with anyone, and do not store them online.
If you lose your 12-word recovery phrase, neither Relai nor anyone else can help you regain access to your wallet.
