Importing Digital Paper Wallet with DPW Portability

Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for importing an existing UnoLock Digital Paper Wallet (DPW) into another Space or vault using DPW Portability. DPW Portability enables secure migration of Digital Paper Wallet mnemonics between Spaces and vaults while maintaining absolute zero-knowledge guarantees. Through authentication-bound encryption and opaque ciphertext migration, mnemonics remain cryptographically protected during transit with consent-enforced operations requiring explicit FIDO2/WebAuthn ceremonies. Perfect for inheritance planning, organizational distribution, and multi-jurisdiction redundancy.

Access the Wallet Import Function

  1. Navigate to the Wallet area in your selected Space.
  2. Click the Import button.
  3. Review the menu that appears.

Select Import DPW Option

Enter the First Half of the Mnemonic

  1. Paste the first half of the DPW seed phrase into the mnemonic fields.
  2. Click Submit.

Complete the Import with Authentication
