Learn the simple steps to find your private key for any wallet in your Best Wallet app.

Although there are reasons to access your wallet's private key (like backing up an EVM-only wallet), we strongly recommend avoiding handling them unless you have to.

You can back up your multi-chain wallets without handling their private keys directly in your Best Wallet app.

A private key is much like your crypto wallet’s unique password — a string of randomly generated letters and numbers that allows you to access and manage your crypto funds.

If you buy, hold, or receive crypto in your Best Wallet, that transaction will be connected to your Best Wallet’s private key. Additionally, every time you swap or send your crypto, Best Wallet will use your private key to authorize your transaction.

Your private key will look something like this:

A useful way to think of your private key is as the key to your crypto vault and, therefore, should be handled carefully and securely to keep your digital assets safe. Never share your private key with anyone

To find your Best Wallet's private keys, you can either watch our video tutorial or follow the steps below!

In the Best Wallet app, click the Settings icon on the navigation bar.

Go to Manage Wallets, which will bring you to the list of your existing wallets.

Here, you can access your multi-chain wallets, as well as your EVM-only wallets.

Next, select the wallet you want to view.

Next, tap "Show Private Key".

It is important to exercise caution when handling your wallet’s private keys – treat your private keys like the password to your online banking app.

There will be an in-app warning around your Best Wallet’s private key – please read it carefully before moving to the next stage.

Once you've fully understood the risk of accessing and sharing your private keys, tap the check box, then "Continue Anyway".

You will have to use your passcode or biometrics to unlock your private key, ensuring that even if someone finds your device unlocked and your wallet open, they won’t access your private keys.

Now you can see your private key; you will also have the option to copy it to your clipboard. This way, you can ensure you get an entirely accurate copy for safe storage.

Once copied to your clipboard, you can then return to your Manage Wallet page.

Note: Best Wallet does not recommend storing your private keys on your device in a screenshot or copying them into your device's notes. Online copies of your wallet's private key are liable to being misplaced, mishandled, or hacked, resulting in losing your crypto.

You should store copies of your Best Wallet’s private keys somewhere secure and offline.

The most common ways of safely storing your private key are:

Remember: No one from Best Wallet will ever ask for your wallet's private keys. Never share your private keys with anyone, even with people you trust.

You should be able to find and back up your private keys in Best Wallet by following the steps above.

However, if you are struggling to find the right private key or are unsure how best to back them up, first read our guide on how to back up your multi-chain wallets, plus our guide on how to back up your EVM-only wallets.

If you need further help, please contact the Best Wallet support team either by using the Get Help screen in your Best Wallet app's Settings or by opening a ticket on our Support site.

Important Reminder:

No one from Best Wallet will ever request your wallet’s private key. Keep this information strictly private and do not share it with anyone.
