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"

Step 4: Wallet Imported Successfully​

Your wallet has been successfully imported!

  • Your wallet address will be displayed
  • Your balance and transaction history will sync
  • Click "Get Started" to access your wallet

Verification​

After importing, verify that:

  • ✅ Your wallet address matches your expected address

  • ✅ Your transaction history appears (if any)

Troubleshooting​

"Invalid Seed64" error​

Possible causes:
