If you have an existing Bitcoin wallet with providers like Magic Eden, OKX, Phantom, or Unisat and want to import it into Xverse, the process is now easier than ever. Simply select your wallet provider, enter your seed phrase, and Xverse will automatically detect your wallet’s derivation path, scan for your addresses, and display your balance—no manual setup required.
Download and Install Xverse Wallet
Before importing your wallet, ensure you have the latest version of Xverse installed. Visit Xverse official website and click “Download” in the top right corner or directly via this link: https://www.xverse.app/download.
Step 1: Restore an Existing Wallet
-
Launch the Xverse Wallet ( mobile app or browser extension).
-
On the welcome screen, choose “Restore an Existing Wallet” instead of creating a new one.
-
Create a strong password for security.
Step 2: Select Your Wallet Provider
-
Choose the wallet provider you are importing from (e.g., Xverse, Magic Eden, Phantom, Unisat, OKX, etc.).
-
This ensures that Xverse detects the correct derivation path for for your wallet’s addresses.
Step 3: Enter Your Seed Phrase
-
Carefully input your 12- or 24-word seed phrase.
-
Make sure all words are spelled correctly and in the correct order, with spaces between them (for mobile version).
If you receive an Invalid Seed Phrase error, double-check for typos, word order, or translation issues. See our Troubleshooting Guide for help.
Step 4: Scan for Addresses and Balances
Xverse will automatically scan your existing addresses and retrieve your balances. Once complete, you’ll have full access to your wallet and assets within Xverse.
For Unisat & OKX Taproot Address Users
If your Bitcoin is stored only in a Taproot address (starting with bc1p) in Unisat or OKX, you won’t see the balance immediately upon restoration.
Where to Find Your Funds?
- After restoring your wallet, go to BTC > Breakdown in the Xverse dashboard.
- Your funds will be displayed under your Ordinals address in Xverse.
Info
Taproot addresses in Xverse are designed for storing Ordinals assets (inscriptions, BRC-20, Runes) and not for general Bitcoin transactions or fee coverage. To make your BTC spendable, transfer it to your Native Segwit address (bc1q).
You can do it directly by sending from your Unisat/OKX wallet to your Xverse Native Segwit address, or by following this guide: How to Recover BTC from Your Ordinals Address (Taproot) in Xverse?
For Leather Wallet Users
Importing a Leather Wallet into Xverse depends on whether you’re restoring a Stacks wallet or a Bitcoin wallet.
