Restore Cake Wallet without exposing recovery words
Restoration is the highest-risk wallet workflow because a single paste into the wrong place can transfer control forever.
01 / restore
Use only the app you verified
Restore inside a verified Cake Wallet app on a device you control. Do not type recovery words into a browser page, email, chat, support ticket, screenshot tool, or shared note.
02 / restore
Prepare first
Disconnect from distractions, confirm you installed from an official source, and inspect the room and device for screen sharing or recording tools. If the seed was ever entered online, assume it is compromised.
03 / restore
After restore
Confirm small balances and addresses first. If anything feels wrong, stop and research before sending funds. For large holdings, consider moving funds to a fresh wallet created on a clean device.
