Two ways to move
Import your phrase. Quick, and your old wallet keeps working, because both now hold the same keys.
Create a new phrase and send your coins. Slower and it costs network fees, but your funds end up on keys that have never been in another app. Choose this if you are unsure how your old phrase was handled.
Import a phrase
- On the welcome screen, choose Import a recovery phrase.
- Enter your BIP39 words in English, in order. You can paste the whole phrase into the first box. Screenshots are blocked while you type.
- Choose a password to encrypt the phrase on this device.
- Kyro shows your accounts. Wait for each blockchain to answer over Tor.
If a balance looks wrong
- Different derivation. The same phrase can give different addresses in different wallets. Compare a receive address from both. If they differ, your coins are safe, but they sit on keys Kyro is not showing. Send them across from the old wallet.
- Another account. Kyro supports several accounts per blockchain. Coins may sit on a later account.
- Ledger accounts. On NEAR, TON and Cardano, a Ledger gives different accounts than the same phrase in software.
- Monero. Kyro scans from a starting block. If this phrase received XMR earlier, pick an older height in Settings › Security.
What does not import
- A 25-word Monero phrase made elsewhere. Send those XMR to your Kyro address.
- Phrases that are not BIP39 English words. Send those coins across instead.
- Your history of labels and contacts. Add addresses to Kyro’s address book as you go.
Send across, safely
- Create your new vault and back up the phrase first.
- Copy your Kyro receive address. Paste it and compare it in full, with care.
- Send a small test, and wait for it to arrive.
- Send the rest, chain by chain.
Token approvals you gave from the old keys stay in place if you keep using them, so moving to fresh keys also leaves those behind.
