Balance Recovery

About

Balance Recovery Tool helps you locate funds scattered across derived addresses. It derives addresses by range for each supported chain, shows per-address balance and tokens, and lets you add the corresponding accounts to a wallet.

Key features

• Per-chain scanning with range preview
• Balance and tokens shown for each derived address
• Add to Wallet in one step (with password confirmation)
• Password requested on demand (never stored in memory)
• Free for the first 10 addresses per chain; deeper scans are paid (coming soon)

How to use

1. Open the tool

Open Balance Recovery Tool. You’ll see the list of supported chains.

Choose the target wallet from the Wallet selector at the top to discover its accounts. The list includes every wallet in your portfolio (e.g., Aptos Wallet, EVM Wallet).

• Scope: Previews and add actions apply to the selected wallet only.
• Default: The first wallet in your portfolio.
• Switching: Changing the selected wallet refreshes the list for that wallet and clears any pending selections.

2. Pick a chain & confirm

Click a chain (e.g., Cardano, Aptos, Bitcoin, EVM chains, etc.).
Enter your portfolio password to unlock derivation for that network.

3. Browse the results

A default address range is generated. For each row you’ll see:

• # (derivation index and HD path)
• Addresses
• Balance
• Tokens (quick view of holdings)

Password prompts
Addresses are derived in batches. When you reach the end of a batch, you’ll be asked for your password again to load the next set.

4. Free vs. paid depth

The first 10 derived addresses are free to explore.
Rows beyond that show a lock and require a paid scan.

5. Configure Advanced settings (Optional)

Click Advanced Settings to customize the chain’s derivation behavior.

Advanced settings (for experienced users)

Change these only if you know why (e.g., you’re matching paths from another wallet or probing a non-standard path).

Fields vary by chain; example for Cardano:

Typical options include:

• Address Range (how many to preview per batch)
• Account Name / Label
• Chain-specific derivation paths (e.g., Enterprise, Reward, Account paths)
• Derivation Type / Scheme (e.g., ed25519, secp256k1, Legacy, Base – Recommended)

About custom paths

If you provide a custom derivation path, the range view is disabled and only the single address for that exact path is shown.

6. Select & apply

Tick the checkboxes for the accounts you want to add.
The Add to Wallet button becomes enabled.

• Click Add to Wallet → confirm with your password → selected accounts are added to the wallet.

Pick the right wallet

Double-check the Wallet dropdown before clicking Add to Wallet to avoid adding accounts to the wrong wallet.

Validation & tips

• Password on demand: you’ll be asked when needed (unlock, next range, add). That’s by design.
• Range depth: start with the free rows (first 10); upgrade when needed.
• Compare with Expander: Need to export a watch-only wallet? Use Wallet Expander.
• Custom path: shows a single address — perfect for exact HD paths or non-standard schemes.

Security & privacy

• Derivation previews and account changes happen locally only after you confirm with a password; no data leaves your device.
• Network lookups: To display balances and token lists, the app queries third-party indexers/RPCs for the selected chain(s). These requests include public data only — never mnemonics, private keys, or passwords.
• Signer isolation: Sensitive prompts (password entry) are rendered in the signer’s separate-origin iframe for DOM isolation.

FAQ

Does this reveal my seed phrase or private keys?
No. It shows derived public addresses and queries balances. Password prompts unlock secrets but they never leave the signer.

Why am I asked for my password again when I scroll?
We derive addresses in batches and never keep your password in memory, so each new batch requires a fresh unlock.

Can I export a wallet from here?
No. Balance Recovery Tool focuses on discovery and adding accounts. Use Wallet Expander for export flows.

Can I use different derivation settings for different chains?
Yes — settings are per chain.

What’s the difference between addresses and accounts?
An address is a part of an account and related to one derivation index/path. When you add an account, we store the HD path, keys (encrypted), and metadata backing that address in your wallet; the private key never leaves the signer.
