Install Use Recover Your Mavryk Wallet Browser Extension Step by Step

Obtain the official Mavryk add-on directly from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Browser Add-ons gallery. Confirm the developer is listed as "Mavryk Technologies" before proceeding.

Setup and Configuration Steps

After adding the component, locate its icon in your toolbar and select it to initiate the setup. You will be presented with a clear choice: generate a new vault or reinstate an existing one.

Generating a New Secure Vault

Select the option to create a new vault.
Define a robust passphrase with a minimum of 12 characters, mixing case, numbers, and symbols.
The tool will produce a confidential 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase. Record this phrase on durable material, like steel, and store it offline. Never share it.
Verify your phrase by accurately re-entering the words when prompted.

Reinstating an Existing Asset Holding

If you possess a valid Secret Recovery Phrase from before, choose the restoration path.


Carefully key in your 24-word phrase in the precise sequence.
Set a new, strong passphrase for this installation.
The interface will synchronize and display your current holdings and transaction log.

Critical Security Protocols

Treat your 24-word phrase as the absolute master key to your digital assets; its security is non-negotiable.
Reject any website or service requesting this confidential phrase.
Employ the add-on's internal function to validate receiving addresses before authorizing any transaction.
For substantial asset amounts, consider a dedicated hardware signing device for enhanced protection.

Common Synchronization Points

If balances appear incorrect, access the add-on's settings and select 'Synchronize with Network'. Ensure you are not connected to a custom RPC node unless you have specific reason to do so.


This tool functions as a bridge to the Mavryk blockchain. Transactions require a minimal network fee, paid in XTZ, which fluctuates with network demand.

Install, Use, and Recover the Mavryk Wallet Browser Extension

Add the utility to Chrome or Firefox directly from the official Mavryk Foundation portal; never acquire it from third-party stores to avoid counterfeit software.


After adding the add-on, generate a new vault and meticulously record your 12 to 24-word secret phrase on paper, storing it offline. This phrase is the absolute key to your funds and identity on the Tezos network for operations like delegating, swapping assets, or interacting with dApps.


Should you switch devices or encounter a reset, the process is straightforward: re-add the plugin and select 'Restore' or 'Import'. Input your original seed phrase exactly as it was written, including the precise word order. The software will then rebuild your entire portfolio, transaction history, and associated addresses.


Always verify transaction details on the device's display before confirming, and consider a hardware ledger for substantial holdings to keep the seed phrase completely isolated from internet exposure.

FAQ:
Is the Mavryk Wallet browser extension safe to use?

The safety of the Mavryk Wallet extension depends largely on user actions. Only install it from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons website. Before installation, check reviews and the developer's name. Once installed, you are responsible for securing your seed phrase. Never share these 12 or 24 words with anyone, and store them offline on paper or a metal backup. The extension itself cannot access your seed phrase without your explicit permission for each transaction.

I installed the extension but my existing wallet isn't showing up. How do I recover it?

Open the extension and look for a link saying "Import using Secret Recovery Phrase" or "Restore Wallet." Click it. You will be asked to enter your secret backup phrase (the 12 or 24-word mnemonic) exactly as it was given when you first created the wallet. Type the words in the correct order, with a single space between each word. After submitting, you may need to follow a prompt to set a new password for the extension's local access. Your accounts and funds should then reappear.

What happens if I clear my browser data or use a new computer?

Clearing browser data or switching devices removes the wallet extension's local data. Your funds are not lost; they remain on the blockchain. To regain access, you must reinstall the Mavryk Wallet extension on the new browser or computer and use the "Recover Wallet" function. You will need your original secret recovery phrase. Without this phrase, you cannot recover your wallet and your funds will be permanently inaccessible. Always ensure your recovery phrase is backed up before clearing data.

Can I use the extension with multiple wallet accounts?

Yes. After installing or recovering your main wallet, you can add more accounts within the same extension. Inside the wallet interface, find an option like "Create Account" or "Add Account." You can generate new public addresses linked to your original private key. This lets you organize funds separately without needing a new seed phrase. All accounts are managed under the same recovery phrase. You can also import entirely different wallets by using their unique recovery phrases, allowing you to switch between them in the extension.

The extension is asking for a password. Is this the same as my seed phrase?

No, they are completely different. The password you set when first using the extension is a local security measure. It only locks the extension on that specific browser and device. It protects against unauthorized access if someone uses your computer. Your secret recovery phrase (seed words) is the master key to your entire wallet on the blockchain. The password cannot restore your wallet on a new device; only the seed phrase can do that. If you forget the password, you can uninstall and reinstall the extension, then recover your wallet with the seed phrase, setting a new password.
