📢Krystal Wallet Migration Guide

Exporting Your Wallet from Krystal and Importing into MetaMask.

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.

  1. In the dialog menu that appears, choose Export Wallet.

  1. Choose your backup method, depending on how your wallet was originally created:

    • Back up with Seed Phrase (Mnemonic).

    • Back up with Private Key.

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.

Option B: Export via Private Key

  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.

  3. You can now use this private key to import your wallet into MetaMask.


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

⚠️ Security Reminder

Whether importing with Seed Phrase or Private Key, ensure you are using the official wallet app downloaded from a trusted source (App Store, Google Play, or the project’s official website).
