As the new wallet introduces a secret recovery phrase, the way that keys are protected differs between the old and new wallets.
If you currently use the Concordium Legacy Wallet but want to use the new one, you should do the following:
- Download the Concordium Wallet for Android and set it up so you have a secret recovery phrase, a verified identity, and at least one account. Learn how here.
- Open the Concordium Legacy Wallet and send your funds from it to your new account(s) in the Concordium Wallet for Android. See how here.
- Once you are sure that all of your funds have been transferred and you have no incoming transfers, you can delete the Concordium Legacy Wallet on your phone.
- Remember, you can also keep the Concordium Legacy Wallet and use both wallets since they are separate apps.
Can I continue to use the Concordium Legacy Wallet?
The Concordium Wallet for Android and the Concordium Legacy Wallet are separate apps, so you can continue to use both simultaneously if you like.
You can also choose to continue using only the Concordium Legacy Wallet. Just make sure that you continue to make backups if you continue using the Concordium Legacy Wallet.
However, the new version of the Concordium Wallet for Android supports easy portability of accounts with the soon to be released Concordium Wallet for Chrome, and you might want to take advantage of that 😉.
