Recovering Your Wallet After Device Loss
If you lose your phone, reinstall the app, or migrate to a new browser, you can fully restore your wallet using only your 12-word seed phrase. No Moi Wallet or Sarva Labs account is required.
Steps
- Install Moi Wallet on your new device or browser
- Choose Import Wallet
- Enter your 12-word seed phrase in the correct order
- Set a new local password for this device
- Wait for network sync to complete — balances, history, and sub-accounts are fetched from the MOI network
All accounts derived from your seed phrase are restored. Funds remain on the blockchain throughout — device loss only affects local copies of encrypted data.
Test your backup
Periodically verify that your written seed phrase backup is correct by importing it on a secondary device or testnet environment. Never store significant funds on a device until you have confirmed your backup works.
