FAQ
Is there any difference between a newly created common wallet and the default one?
No. Both have the exact same functions.
If a newly created common wallet does not support viewing private keys, how can I back it up?
Newly generated wallets are TIP-derived and do not require separate backup. To back them up, simply back up your Mixin Messenger account mnemonic. See: How to back up my Mixin Messenger mnemonic?
Whatβs the difference between an imported common wallet and a Mixin-generated common wallet?
The interface and usage are almost identical, except:
- Imported wallets allow viewing mnemonics/private keys, while Mixin-generated ones do not.
- Imported wallets can be deleted, while Mixin-generated ones cannot.
