3. Importing an Existing Wallet

Learn how to import an existing Amadeus wallet using your Seed64.

Overview

If you already have a wallet with a Seed64, you can import it into the extension to access your funds and transaction history.

Prerequisites

• Your Seed64 (64-byte seed, Base58-encoded string)

• Access to the wallet extension

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose "I already have a wallet"

When you first open the extension, click "Import Existing Wallet" on the onboarding screen.

Step 2: Enter Your Seed64

1. Enter your Seed64

   • Paste your Seed64 string (Base58-encoded, typically 87-88 characters)

   • The extension will validate the format as you type

   • Ensure you have the complete Seed64 string

2. Double-check your entry

   • Verify all characters are correct

   • Ensure no characters are missing

   • Check for any extra spaces or line breaks

   • The Seed64 should be a single continuous string

3. Click "Continue"

⚠️ Security Note: Make sure you're entering your Seed64 in a private, secure location. Never share your Seed64 with anyone.

Step 3: Set Password

1. Create a password for this wallet instance

   • This password protects the wallet on this device

   • It can be different from passwords used on other devices

   • Minimum 8 characters recommended

2. Confirm your password

   • Re-enter the password to confirm

   • Click "Continue"
