Import Multi Currency Seed

Multiple names exist for what are technically bip44 seeds.

• recovery seed
• multi currency wallet
• bip44 seed

Recovery seeds have become an industry standard and allow you to store many different crypto currency from different blockchains using just a single recovery seed.

There are many other wallet apps that support this same standard which means you are not stuck with a single app but can move freely between different wallet providers ensuring that as long as you properly backup your recovery seed you can be sure to access your crypto funds with any other wallet app out there.

Recovery seeds take the form of 12 or more words from a standardized set of words.

You have to backup these 12 words in their exact order to always be able to access your crypto currencies

Internally these words are used by wallet apps to construct a set of keys for each blockchain but in a standardized way so each individual app gives you access to your crypto currency.

Start at the Action Center

To import a recovery seed you have to navigate to the Action Center and select Import Recovery Seed

To access the Action Center: first time users automatically start with the Action Center. Users who created or imported a wallet will have to navigate to the Home screen where they see the menu button on top left. Open the menu and select the top entry Wallets, in the next screen click the plus at the top right to access the Action Center

Import Recovery Seed

You are greeted with information about recovery seeds, swipe left to go through these instructions or close with the X at the top right.

Assign a name for your wallet (which can be changed later on) and enter the recovery seed either type, paste or scan a QR code.

Store as Hot or Cold wallet

Choose to either store your seed on your device or enter it every time its needed.

With Heat Wallet you can keep your keys offline yet still have a (almost) fully functional wallet on your device. You will see your balances and history but will not be able to spend your crypto until you provide your recovery seed again. One especially convenient and secure way to do this is if your recovery seed is in the form of a QR code which you can scan on demand whenever you make a payment.

Select for which Blockchains

Next you are asked to select which blockchains to add to your recovery seed. You have two options.

• Automatic funds discovery
• Manual selection

Automatic discovery will generate all addresses that could possibly belong to your recovery seed for all supported blockchains and Heat Wallet will go and search for any address you possibly have funds in.

Manual selection allows you to select which blockchains to add to your wallet (you can add others later on if so desired).

Access your funds

Your wallet is now setup and shows your balances for each token
