01 / THE BASICS

One wallet.
More possibilities.

Xverse is a self-custody wallet designed for Bitcoin and Web3. It helps you manage supported assets and connect to apps while keeping control of your keys.

Your wallet is only as secure as your recovery phrase. Xverse will never ask you to share it with support, a website, or anyone else.

Protect what
makes it yours.

Self-custody gives you control — and makes protecting your recovery phrase essential. Keep these habits close.

Never share it with support, friends, or a site asking to “verify” your wallet. Xverse support will not need it.

NO LEGITIMATE SUPPORT AGENT NEEDS YOUR PHRASE

What happens if I lose my recovery phrase? +

Your recovery phrase is the backup to your self-custody wallet. If it is lost, access may not be recoverable. Store it securely and never share it.
