Set Up Wallet Recovery Wizard

Overview

The Wallet Recovery Wizard is a software that you can use to recover assets from your self-managed wallets, without BitGo. The software enables you to send your assets, including sweeping transactions, to a new address, without requiring BitGo to sign the transaction using the BitGo key.

You can use the Wallet Recovery Wizard in conjunction with, or without, a key recovery service. To use the software, you must have access to the following:

  • Backup public key
  • BitGo public key, base address, root address, or wallet-contract address (depending on the asset)
  • User public key
  • Wallet passphrase

You can use the Wallet Recovery Wizard in both the test and live environments.

Note: For use in the live environment, BitGo strongly recommends that you use the Wallet Recovery Wizard on an air gapped machine.
