Your wallet

A wallet in this browser holds your coins and tokens. The 12 words are the backup.

1. Tap Web wallet.
2. Tap Create.
3. Write the 12 words on paper. Check the box that says you wrote them down.
4. Type the words it asks for.
5. Choose a password. Tap Encrypt and finish.

Details

The 12 words never leave this browser. We cannot see them. A new phone does not have them until you type them in.

The password only locks the words on this device. It is not a second backup.

The same 12 words open the same addresses in the Heavy desktop app.

Restore from 12 words

Tap Web wallet, then Restore. Type the 12 words in order and choose a new password of at least 8 characters.

The wallet walks your addresses and finds every one that was used, with its balance.

Addresses

Receive shows your current address and a QR code. Tap New address for a fresh one. There is no limit on how many you make, but a new one is only made after the current one has received something.

The wallet keeps an eye on the newest 100, your first address, and any older one that still holds coins or tokens, so nothing drops out of view.

Example

Example: A new browser

Example: the laptop dies. On a new browser you choose Restore, type the 12 words in order, and set a new password of at least 8 characters. The same words open the same addresses in Heavy.

Common mistakes

Photographing the words and leaving that photo in a chat.
Believing the site can recreate a wallet. It cannot.

FAQ

What does the password protect?: Only the copy of the words on that device.
How many addresses?: There is no cap on how many you make. A new one is created only after the current one has received something. The wallet watches the newest 100, the first, and older ones that still hold a balance.
