FAQs

How to Import My Wallet from Unisat?

To import your Unisat wallet into Xverse, it is important to understand how Xverse handles Bitcoin and Ordinals compared to Unisat.

With Xverse, Bitcoin is stored under addresses starting with '3' (Nested SegWit), while Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 tokens are stored under the address starting with 'bc1p' (Taproot). This separation is intended to enhance the safety of your assets. Conversely, Unisat wallet stores both Bitcoin and Ordinals under the same address.

If your Unisat wallet uses a Taproot address starting with ‘bc1p’ for both Bitcoin and Ordinals, you'll need to transfer your Bitcoin to a Nested SegWit address within Xverse after importing it with your seed phrase.

Please note, Xverse wallet does not support the importing of wallets using WIF or HEX private keys and only 12/24 word seed phrases can be imported.

Here's how to complete this process:

1. When prompted during Xverse wallet setup, import your 12 or 24-word seed phrase. This will generate the same Taproot address starting with bc1p as in Unisat, with a different Bitcoin address starting with 3.
2. Recover your Bitcoin from your Taproot address by following the steps outlined in this article: Can I recover BTC sent to the Ordinal address? Please note, as a part of this process you will need to have some BTC in your address starting with '3' (Nested SegWit) - this is used to cover the transaction fees when recovering your bitcoin.
