If you lose access to your passkey, your 24-word BIP-39 recovery phrase and your Party Hint are all you need to restore a session and access your Canton Network wallet. The entire recovery process runs in your browser — your phrase is never transmitted to any server or seen by anyone else.
Recovery creates a temporary session only. Walley cannot link your recovery phrase to a new passkey. After this session ends, you must use your recovery phrase again to regain access. Store your phrase securely offline at all times — without it, your wallet cannot be recovered by anyone.
Open the recovery screen
Navigate to walley.app and click Import Recovery Phrase on the sign-in page. This opens the wallet recovery screen. Enter your Party Hint
Type your Party Hint into the Party Hint field. Your Party Hint is the unique identifier you chose when you created your wallet — it follows the format walley-<label>, for example walley-alice.Your Party Hint is case-sensitive and must match exactly what you set during wallet creation. If you’re unsure of your Party Hint, check any previous wallet activity confirmations or emails you received from Walley.
Enter your 24-word recovery phrase
Type each of the 24 BIP-39 words into the phrase input fields, one word per field, in the exact order they were presented to you when you created your wallet.If a word turns red as you type, check your spelling against the BIP-39 word list. All 24 words must be valid BIP-39 English words entered in the correct sequence.
Restore your session
Click Restore Session. Walley derives your wallet keys from the recovery phrase entirely in your browser using Ed25519 cryptography — nothing leaves your device.If the Party Hint and phrase match a valid wallet, you are signed in and your dashboard loads.
Act within your session
You now have access to your wallet for the duration of this session. Use this time to review your balances, complete any transactions, or export information you need.When this session ends, you must repeat the full recovery flow to sign in again. Your recovery phrase cannot be registered to a new passkey. Keep your phrase stored safely offline so it’s available for future sessions.
