If I die or am otherwise unable to manage my wallet, is there a way for my family to access it?

D'CENT Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning users have full control over their assets and D'CENT does not store any user information.

To ensure that a trusted family member or other party can manage or recover your wallet in case of emergency, you must safely store and share key information in advance.

[Essential Information for Wallet Recovery]

To enable access and recovery of the wallet, you must securely share:

  • Your 24 recovery word  (mnemonic code)
  • The PIN code for the Biometric Wallet
  • The registered fingerprint(s)

[Share Recovery Words and PIN (Recommended)]

  • Write your 24 recovery words on the Recovery Sheet and store it securely offline
  • Share this sheet and your wallet's PIN code with a trusted family member
  • In the event of an emergency, they can reset and recover the wallet using the recovery phrase
  • It’s also helpful to document the list of coins/accounts stored in the wallet, as these must be manually re-added after recovery

Go to the Biometric Wallet Recovery User Guide

[Register a second fingerprint]

  • D'CENT Biometric Wallet allows you to register up to two fingerprints
  • You can register a trusted family member's fingerprint as the second one
  • The second fingerprint has full access to the wallet, including the ability to authorize transactions.
  • Only register fingerprints of people you fully trust

[Important Security Notice]

  • D'CENT does not store your recovery word, PIN, or biometric data
  • If this information is lost, your wallet cannot be recovered
  • Always store important credentials offline in a secure and private location, and avoid any digital or cloud-based storage
