Leap Wallet went down sunset leapwallet io extension io download Leap Wallet to shut down by May 2026
The following products will be sunset after 28th May, 2026:
Until that date, all wallet products listed above will retain their existing core functionality. You will still be able to view balances, send tokens, manage staking positions, and export your recovery phrase and private keys. All other products listed above will likewise retain their existing functionality until 28th May, 2026.
If you are using one of Leap’s wallet products, we recommend migrating your wallets to another wallet like Keplr, MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby.
Because Leap is a non-custodial wallet, your assets live on the blockchain, not in our apps. As long as you have your recovery phrase, you can continue to access your assets through another compatible wallet by importing that recovery phrase. Your addresses and balances will carry over automatically.
If you have ATOM delegated to Leap’s Cosmos Hub validator, please redelegate to another validator to continue earning staking rewards. We encourage doing this as early as possible to account for network unbonding periods.
Q – Will my assets be lost when Leap shuts down?
A – No. Your assets will remain safe. Leap is a non-custodial wallet, meaning your assets are stored on the blockchain, not within the wallet/app. As long as you have your recovery phrase or private key, you can access your assets using another wallet like Keplr, MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby.
Transfers vs Importing
Q – Do I need to withdraw everything before 28th May?
A – No. There is no need to withdraw or send your assets to a new address. Importing your recovery phrase or private key restores the same address, so your assets remain where they are.
We recommend exporting your recovery phrase or private key from Leap and importing it into another compatible wallet to regain access to your addresses and assets. We also recommend migrating early to ensure a smoother transition before app access ends on 28th May.
Q – What happens if I don’t migrate before the deadline?
A – Your assets are still safe on-chain, but the Leap Wallet app (and all other products) will no longer be available. You’ll need to import your recovery phrase or private key into another wallet like Keplr, MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby to access them.
We recommend migrating as soon as possible.
Recovery Phrase / Private Key
Q – Where can I find my recovery phrase in Leap?
A – You can export your recovery phrase from the wallet’s security settings inside the app. For step-by-step instructions, refer to our migration guide.
Q – Why do I have multiple recovery phrases?
A – Each wallet you created may have its own recovery phrase. You’ll need to export and migrate each one separately to ensure all your addresses are restored.
Q – What’s the difference between a recovery phrase and a private key?
A – Both give access to your wallet. A recovery phrase controls multiple addresses, while a private key typically controls a single address.
Q – Can I still export my recovery phrase after 28th May?
A – The Leap Wallet app (and all other products) will not be accessible after 28th May. We recommend that you export your recovery phrase/ private key before that date.
Migration
Q – Which wallet should I migrate to?
A – You can migrate to any compatible wallet that supports the chains you use (Cosmos, EVM, Solana, etc.) like Keplr, MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby.
Q – I have multiple wallets in Leap. What should I do?
A – Each wallet may have a different recovery phrase or private key. You will need to migrate them individually:
If a wallet was added using a private key, export each private key separately and import them one by one into your new wallet.
If wallets were added using different recovery phrases, export each recovery phrase and import them individually into your new wallet.
This ensures all your addresses and associated assets are restored correctly.
Q – Will my NFTs and tokens appear in the new wallet?
A – Yes, your on-chain assets are already tied to your address. When you import the same recovery phrase, you’re just accessing that same address in another wallet. If you don’t see some of your assets, it may be because they’re not visible by default in your chosen wallet’s interface. In such cases, you may need to manually add them. Please refer to your wallet’s support for specific instructions on how to do this.
For example, in Keplr wallet, you need to tap on “Manage asset list” and add token details manually for it to appear in your wallet, if it doesn’t appear already. Similar flows can be found on MetaMask, Phantom, and Rabby as well.
If you created or imported a wallet using a recovery (seed) phrase:
Security reminder: Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, and store it offline in a secure location.
If your wallet was created or imported using a private key:
