How do I back up my wallet?

  • There are two ways to back up your wallet：
    • Write down your wallet mnemonic seed and save it in a safe place.
    • Click on “Back up Current Wallet”, save the wallet’s keystore in a safe place.
      • Note that if someone did get ahold of your mnemonic seed or keystore, it is equivalent to taking control of your wallet, so you need to pay attention to the following points:
        • After having created a wallet , please back up wallet seed or keystore immediately.
        • When backing up mnemonic seed, you should use physical media, such as copying on a piece of paper. To keep your assets safe, do not screenshot
        • Be sure to take care of your mnemonic seed and keystore you have backed up.
  • In case a wallet recovery is needed，you can click on “Import Mnemonic seed”or “Import from keystore” and input the back-up wallet seed or wallet keystore.

Can I import a wallet created by ckb_cli into neuron wallet? I need a mainnet address for Mine pool.

You can import the keystore file, but the neuron wallet won’t show the address from cli. cli derives address directly from private keys. Neuron follows BIP-32, BIP-39, BIP-43 and BIP-44 and uses xpub （extended public key）to derive address.

We recommend using neuron wallet’s address for Mine pool for best future compatibility.
