# Krystal Wallet Migration Guide

As the **Krystal Wallet App** is being deprecated, we recommend that all users securely export their wallets and migrate them into another trusted non-custodial wallet, such as **MetaMask**.

> ### **⚠️ Important Security Reminder**
>
> * Never share your **Secret Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase)** or **Private Key** with anyone.
> * These credentials give full access to your funds. If compromised, your assets can be stolen.
> * Always store them securely.

***

## Step 1: Export Your Wallet from Krystal

1. From the homepage (**Wallet** tab), select your wallet, then tap **More**.
