Why Did My Wallet Address Change After Recovery?

Modified on Tue, 16 Sep at 4:25 PM

When recovering the wallet, the address is directly derived from the recovery phrase. 

The recovery phrase is the sole piece of information needed to restore and access your funds.


If the address you see after recovery differs from the original, it is likely due to entering a recovery phrase that is different from the one initially backed up. Even a single incorrect word in the recovery phrase can result in the generation of a completely new wallet address.


To avoid this issue, always ensure that your recovery phrase is accurately recorded and stored securely during the initial setup. The recovery phrase is unique to your wallet and cannot be recreated if lost or altered.
