Recover a MetaMask (12-word Secret Recovery Phrase)
Lost or replaced your device? Import your wallet using your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase and re-add the ETN network. The video shows the full flow; below is the quick reference.
What you’ll do
- Install MetaMask on your new browser
- Select “I already have a wallet” → “Import using Secret Recovery Phrase”
- Create a new local password
- Add Electroneum Mainnet again via Chainlist (Chain ID 52014)
Quick steps
- Install MetaMask from metamask.io and open it.
- Choose Import using Secret Recovery Phrase, enter the 12 words in order, and set a new password.
- Open chainlist.org → search Electroneum → Connect → Add to MetaMask.
- Switch to Electroneum Mainnet; your ETN balance will appear after sync.
If your device was stolen: Recover on a safe device immediately and move funds to a new wallet. A strong password helps, but acting fast reduces risk.
Good to know
- Your local password can be new — the 12 words control the wallet.
- EVM wallets share the same address across EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BSC, ETN). Solana uses a different format.
- Never type or store the 12 words online. Support will never ask for them.
