How do I backup my Zucoin wallet app data?

Backing up your Zucoin wallet is essential because the wallet is self-custody and stores important wallet data locally on your device.

Your backup file is the practical recovery path if your device is lost, damaged, replaced, reset, or if browser data connected to the wallet is cleared.

Back up your wallet before receiving Zucoin, not only afterwards.

How to back up your wallet

1. Open your Zucoin wallet app.
   
   
2. Click the settings icon in the top-right corner. It looks like a gear.
   
   
3. Click "Backup wallet".
   
   
4. Read the warnings and recommendations shown by the wallet.
   
   
5. Confirm that you understand what the backup file contains.
   
   
6. Download the backup file and save it somewhere safe, private, and accessible to you later.
   
   

Keep the backup private

The backup file contains sensitive wallet data, including the private key needed to restore and control the wallet.

Anyone who has your backup file may be able to access your wallet, so do not share it with anyone.

Choose your own storage location carefully.

Zucoin cannot choose a safe storage method for every user, device, or personal situation.
