I Own Another Ethereum Wallet and want to Transfer my Funds

To transfer your funds to another wallet, you need the public key of your other wallet. Where to find this key depends on the provider; most platforms have FAQ sections explaining where to locate it. Centralized exchanges also provide specific deposit addresses that you can use.

  • Open Your Zippy Wallet
  • Click on Send
  • Choose (+ Enter Adress) on the top right corner
  • Paste Public Key from you other Wallet
  • Click “Next”

I Do Not Own Another Wallet

Step 1: Exporting Your Recovery Phrase

 Open your Zippy Wallet on your mobile phone.

2.  Tap the account icon in the top left corner.

3. Open the Recovery Center.

4. Go to “Recovery Phrase.”

5. Read the information and tap “Display”

6. Enter your PIN (or use Face ID).

7. Write down the 12 words in the correct order (1-12).

Important: Screenshots are not recommended.

8. Check for spelling accuracy (all lowercase letters).

9. Tap “Next.”

10. Verify your written words by entering them.

If incorrect: Error message (go back to step 7).

If correct: Process complete.

Step 2: Storing Your Recovery Phrase

To securely store your recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase), consider the following options:

  1. Paper Backup (Paper Wallet)
    • Pros: Simple, offline, and does not require a device.
    • How: Write down your recovery phrase on a piece of paper, ensuring it is legible and accurate.
    • Security: Store the paper in a secure, weatherproof location (e.g., a safe or vault) protected from fire, water, and theft.
    • Important: Make copies and store them in 2-3 different but secure locations (home safe, bank safety deposit box, vacation home safe, etc.).
  2. Metal Backup (Sheet or Metal Plate)
    • Pros: Durable and resistant to fire and water.
    • How: Engrave or write your recovery phrase onto a metal plate (e.g., stainless steel). There are specialized metal storage solutions available (https://shorturl.at/Ua1c5) (not a purchase recommendation).
    • Security: Store the metal backup in a secure location, such as a bank vault or another protected area.
  3. Hardware Wallet
    • Pros: Secure and offline, with no internet connection required.
    • How: Store your recovery phrase on a hardware wallet (e.g., Ledger or Trezor). These devices add an extra layer of security, as they are only needed when connecting to a computer or mobile device.
    • Security: Ensure the hardware wallet arrives sealed and store it securely. Never share it online or in unprotected environments.

Step 3: Importing Your Recovery Phrase into Another Wallet

This step is optional and only needed when you want to regain access to your assets. The assets stored in your Zippy Wallet remain secure after Step 2. Step 3 can be performed anytime without a time limit after exporting the recovery phrase.

Since Zippy is an Ethereum-based wallet, the recovery phrase can only be imported into wallets that support Ethereum.

(Recommended on a laptop/PC. The following guide is just a recommendation. There are different ways to import your recovery phrase into another wallet.)

2.  Scroll down to the “Software” section and click on it.

3. Select “Mnemonic Phrase.”

4. Ensure the setting (top right) is set to “12 Words.”

5. Enter your 12 words (1-12) in the correct order.

6. Click “Next.”

7. Check the box for “To access my wallet, I accept Terms.”

8. Click “Access my Wallet.”

✅ You are now logged into your wallet. 

From here, you can manage, swap, or send your funds to a centralized exchange for selling. The specific process depends on the provider; check their FAQ section for details.

Important: Keep Your Recovery Phrase Secure Even After Logging In!

You will need it every time you access your wallet!
