# 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**.

### Option A: Export via Seed Phrase

1. Select **Back up mnemonic**.
2. You will be taken to the **Backup Your Wallet** screen, where your 12-word **Secret Recovery Phrase** and a **QR** code will be displayed.
3. You can now use this phrase to import your wallet into **MetaMask**.

1. Select **Back up private key**.
2. You will be directed to the **Backup Your Wallet** screen, where your **private key** will be displayed along with a **QR** code.

## Step 2: Import into MetaMask (or another preferred wallet)

> ### ⚠️ **Security Reminder**

## Final Notes

* The **Krystal Wallet App** will no longer receive updates. Please complete your **migration as soon as possible**.
