Emergency handbook

Checking whether the emergency bundle is saved for offline use…

How old is this guidance?

Documentation snapshot: wallet 1.7.5.8 (source tree, unpublished). Stored release commit: cf0b6d60d00a. When offline, this page shows the date the bundle was cached at the top of every cached page. Old safety guidance must never pose as current: the banner is the difference.

Printable checklists

1 · Suspected compromised wallet

  1. Stop signing and approving anything on the suspect device.
  2. Do not send a "test transaction" from it.
  3. On a clean device, create a fresh wallet and write its phrase on paper.
  4. Move remaining funds and artifacts to the new wallet.
  5. Remove the old wallet from the suspect device and retire the old phrase for life.

2 · Phishing and fake support

  1. Nobody legitimate ever needs your recovery words. Not support, not "validation", not upgrades.
  2. Nobody legitimate needs a test signature, a screen share, or a hurry.
  3. Check the origin on every approval. Look-alike domains are the con.
  4. Download extensions only from the official listing.

3 · Recovery and backup boundaries

  1. Your phrase restores your keys. Anyone holding it holds your money.
  2. Your password unlocks this device only. It cannot restore funds.
  3. Lost password with an intact phrase: recoverable. Lost phrase with a forgotten password: not.

4 · Version identification

  1. Settings → About shows your version.
  2. Store build 1.0.13 (April 2025) differs from the documented 1.7.5.8 source tree.
  3. Where this site and your wallet disagree, your wallet is correct.

5 · Transaction review checklist

  1. Every output accounted for: payment + change + fee.
  2. Change returns to your wallet. A stranger holding your change is theft in progress.
  3. Fee far above the recommended rate: stop and reread.
  4. Unreadable data signatures: treat the length warning as a stop sign.
