Braavos Wallet Setup Recovery Process and Decentralized Applications Guide

Immediately note your twelve-word secret phrase on durable, physical media. This sequence is the absolute key to your holdings; its loss is irreversible. Store multiple copies in geographically separate, secure locations like a safe or safety deposit box. Digital storage, including screenshots or cloud notes, exposes the phrase to catastrophic theft.


Initial configuration involves generating a unique password for local device access. This password encrypts the vault on your specific hardware. Unlike the secret phrase, it is not recoverable; forgetting it necessitates restoring the vault with your twelve words, erasing all local data. A robust password manager is recommended for this sole credential.


Interacting with decentralized applications requires deliberate caution. Each transaction request must be scrutinized. Verify the contract address and permissions granted on every prompt. Malicious smart contracts can drain accounts with a single approved signature. Utilize the transaction simulation feature to preview exact outcome before confirmation, rejecting any with unexpected asset movements.


Regularly maintain your interface. Manually check for extension updates or application patches to ensure the latest security fixes are active. For transactions, consistently set network fees to "Fast" to prevent stuck operations that can lock funds for hours. Before any significant asset movement, conduct a small test transaction to validate the destination address and network integrity.

Q&A:
I installed Braavos but my old wallet isn't showing up. How do I recover my existing account?

You need to use the recovery phrase from your original wallet setup. Open the Braavos app and select "Import Wallet." Enter your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase exactly as it was given to you when you first created the wallet. The order of the words is critical. After entering the phrase, the app will rebuild your account, and your assets and transaction history should appear. If you don't have your recovery phrase written down, you cannot recover the wallet.

Is it safe to connect my Braavos wallet to any dapp I find?

No, you should be cautious. Always verify the dapp's website URL and reputation before connecting. When you connect, Braavos will show the permissions you are granting. Review these carefully. Some dapps only need to see your public address, while others may request permission to initiate transactions. For new or unknown dapps, consider using a separate wallet account with limited funds. Never share your recovery phrase with a dapp website—a legitimate dapp will never ask for it.

What happens if I lose my phone with Braavos installed?

If you lose your phone, your wallet is not lost as long as you have your secret recovery phrase. This phrase is your backup. On a new device, install the Braavos wallet app and choose the "Import Wallet" option. Input your recovery phrase. This process will restore full access to your accounts and funds on the new device. Because of this, keeping your recovery phrase written on paper and stored securely is more important than the phone itself.

A dapp transaction is stuck or pending for a long time. What can I do?

This can happen due to network congestion or low fees. First, check the StarkNet network status on a block explorer. In your Braavos wallet, go to the transaction history and see if the transaction is visible. Sometimes, restarting the app can refresh the state. If the transaction remains stuck, you may need to increase the fee for it to be processed. Braavos may offer an option to speed up the transaction by replacing it with a new one with a higher fee.

Can I use the same Braavos wallet on multiple devices at once?

You cannot run the same wallet account actively on two devices simultaneously. However, you can import your wallet onto multiple devices using your recovery phrase. The accounts will show the same balances and history because they are accessing the same data on the blockchain. Be aware that actions taken on one device, like sending funds, will be reflected immediately on the other. For security, it's generally better to use one primary device and keep your recovery phrase offline.

I lost my phone and the recovery phrase for my Braavos wallet. Is there any way to get my wallet and funds back?

No, there is not. If you lose both your device (where the wallet was installed) and the 12 or 24-word recovery phrase, your wallet and the funds within it are permanently inaccessible. This is a core security feature of non-custodial wallets like Braavos Wallet Browser Extension. The recovery phrase is the only master key to your wallet on the blockchain. Braavos does not have a copy of it, and there is no central password reset service. Your only option is to create a completely new Braavos wallet with a new recovery phrase, which will be a fresh empty wallet. This highlights why writing down your recovery phrase on paper and storing it in multiple secure physical locations is the most critical step in setup.

I connected my Braavos wallet to a dApp and approved a transaction, but my assets are gone. What happened and what can I do?

This sounds like a common scam or phishing incident. When you connect to a dApp, you grant it certain permissions to interact with your tokens. Malicious dApps can use these permissions to drain your wallet if you sign a deceptive transaction. Braavos cannot reverse blockchain transactions. You should immediately visit the official Braavos security page and use the "Revoke Token Approvals" tool. This tool scans your wallet and lets you cancel any permissions you've granted to dApps, preventing further theft. For the lost funds, they are likely irrecoverable. Always verify a dApp's official URL, check community reviews, and be extremely cautious about any transaction that asks for unlimited token spending approvals. Start by revoking all old approvals you no longer use.
