How to redeem a Yoroi paper wallet?

To claim the balance from your paper wallet, follow these steps:


First, open the wallet you want to claim your funds to. If you don’t have one, you can create a new wallet in Yoroi.


Next, go to Settings > Support/Logs and select Transfer from paper wallet.

Then, choose Legacy Yoroi paper wallet and enter the 21-word recovery phrase of your paper wallet, along with your wallet password. Be careful when entering the password—if it's incorrect, you'll restore a different wallet. If you’ve lost your password, unfortunately, the funds cannot be recovered.


It should take about 1 minute to restore your balance. Once done, you will see a transaction to move all of your funds. Please review the transaction details carefully.


Lastly, you will need to pay a standard transaction fee on the Cardano network to complete the transfer, so ensure your wallet has enough ADA to cover it.
