What Is the Wallet Import Feature?

This feature enables users to restore an existing Cardano wallet within the Comet app by entering their 12, 15, 18, or 24-word secret recovery phrase. Once imported, the wallet can be used for trading and other transactions within the Comet platform.


How to Import Your Wallet into Comet

Follow these steps to restore your existing Cardano wallet inside the Comet app:

  1. Log into comet with your email address or sign up

  2. Go to the Holdings page.

    • Tap the settings icon in the top right corner.

    • Select Manage Wallets from the settings menu.

  3. Tap "Import Wallet"

    • This will open a new screen prompting you to enter your Secret Recovery Phrase.

  4. Enter Your Recovery Phrase

    • Assign a custom name to your wallet for easy identification.

    • Type your 12, 15, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase into the provided field.

  5. Confirm and Import

    • Tap Import Wallet to complete the process.

    • Your wallet will now appear under Manage Wallets, and you can use it within Comet.


Managing Imported Wallets

Once your wallet is imported, you can:

  • Switch Between Wallets: If you have multiple wallets, select the one you want to use in the Manage Wallets section.

  • Copy Wallet Addresses: Easily copy your wallet address to receive tokens.

  • Delete an Imported Wallet: If you no longer wish to use an imported wallet, select it from the Manage Wallets section and tap Delete Wallet.

⚠️ Deleting an imported wallet from Comet does NOT erase it from the Cardano blockchain. You can always re-import it using your recovery phrase.


Security Reminder

  • Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Comet does not store or have access to your recovery phrase.

  • Ensure your recovery phrase is backed up securely before importing.

  • If you lose your seed phrase, you may permanently lose access to your wallet.
