Learn how to import another wallet you own into your Best Wallet.
This is useful if you want to import and use a wallet from providers like Metamask, Exodus, and Trust Wallet in Best Wallet, allowing you to manage your whole crypto portfolio in one place.
All you will need to import another wallet into Best Wallet is that wallet's private keys or secret recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase), which can be found in the other crypto wallet provider's app/extension.
You can either watch our video tutorial or follow the steps below.

Step 1: Getting started
You can add a new wallet from your multi-wallet view by swiping right on your Main Wallet card on the home screen or by going to your Settings tab in the navigation bar at the bottom.
In your multi-wallet view, you can tap the button "Add wallet" to import a wallet into Best Wallet.
Alternatively, on your Settings page, go to "Manage Wallets". These are the same processes; the multi-wallet view is just a quicker starting point!
In "Manage Wallets", you will see all your wallets in Best Wallet. Tap the add-symbol in the top right to start your wallet import.
Step 2: Copying inyour other wallet's private key
Next, hit the “Import” option.
In the next step, you will have to enter the private key or secret recovery phrase of your other wallet. This is standard practice and allows you full access to your external wallet within the Best Wallet app.
We recommend pasting your external wallet's private key or secret recovery phrase to avoid typos or errors. Once you've entered a valid private key or secret recovery phrase, you will be able to continue.
Next, select how many wallets you wish to import. Your secret recovery phrase may have several wallets attached to it, and therefore, you can import as many as you’d like into Best Wallet. For example, you may have three Metamask wallets that use the same secret recovery phrase, so you can either import all three or just select one.
By pressing the drop-down, you can select how many wallets to preview.
Step 3: Customising your imported wallet in Best Wallet
Select the wallet you wish to import.
Next, review and confirm you've selected the correct wallet you want to import into Best Wallet.
By tapping "Import", you'll be brought to the customisation page for your new wallet.
You can now customise your imported wallet by renaming it, changing the colour, and the watermark on the wallet card. This will only change how your imported wallet appears in Best Wallet.
Once you’re done, tap “Done”, and your alternative wallet is ready for use within the Best Wallet app.
You will now see your imported wallet on your homescreen!
You will also be able to see your imported wallet in your multi-wallet view!
Step 3: Editing your new imported wallet
You'll be able to access and edit your newly imported wallet on the "Manage Wallets" page.
You can now see your wallet in the "Imported Wallets".
Next, you can see your newly imported wallet's private keys and your wallet's connected sessions, and you can also edit your wallet's name and appearance.
Please note that external wallets may have limited functionality within the Best Wallet app due to what chains are currently supported.
Can’t see all your tokens in your imported wallet?
Your tokens aren’t lost; they remain safe in your imported wallet, even if you can’t see them. You may have to import the token individually, or it may be that the token is on a chain that is currently not supported in Best Wallet.
So if you import a wallet that has Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) tokens in it, you will see your ETH tokens, but you won't be able to see your SOL tokens in Best Wallet.
You can access those tokens in your original wallet app/extension. Read our guide on how to access your unsupported tokens.
If you're struggling to import a token or having any other issues, please email [email protected] and the support team will help you troubleshoot and resolve your issue.
