Last updated on Jun 08, 2025

1. Make sure you have your 12-word paper key phrase from Litewallet.

Before doing anything, make sure you’ve written down your 12-word paper key from Litewallet. You’ll need it to import your wallet into Nexus.

To find it:

Open Litewallet > Tap the menu button ☰ > Go to Security Center > Tap Paper Key.


2. Download the new Nexus Wallet.


3. Set up your new wallet.

  1. Open the app and create a new Nexus Wallet.

  2. Set a PIN code.

  3. Write down your new 24-word seed phrase. This is extremely important — it’s the only way to recover your wallet if you lose your device.

  4. Enable Face ID or Touch ID if you'd like.

  5. Wait for the wallet to sync with the blockchain. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on your internet speed.


4. Import your Litewallet.

  1. In Nexus, tap the "Receive" button, so your wallet will generate an address.

  2. Go to the settings menu (gear icon).

  3. Tap “Import Litewallet”.

  4. Enter your 12-word recovery phrase from Litewallet.

  5. Tap “OK”.

In a few seconds (up to 1 minute), you’ll see your transactions appear in Nexus Wallet.

Note: You may see two incoming transactions after importing. This is expected and completely normal.
