How can I transfer assets from one wallet to another with a different derivation path?

Safely move your crypto between wallets that use different address-generation standards.

Self-custodial wallets use specific derivation paths to generate your crypto addresses and private keys.


If the derivation path in your external wallet doesn’t match RockWallet’s, you won’t be able to restore those assets in RockWallet using your Recovery Phrase.
You can view the full list of RockWallet’s derivation paths here.

To move your assets between wallets that use different derivation paths, you’ll need to manually send each asset from your external wallet to RockWallet.

Steps to transfer assets to RockWallet:

  1. Create a RockWallet account if you don’t already have one by downloading the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

  2. Find your RockWallet address for the asset you want to transfer (instructions here).

  3. Copy your RockWallet asset address.

  4. In your external wallet, start a Send transaction.

  5. Paste your RockWallet address into the destination field.

  6. Confirm and complete the transaction from your external wallet.

💡 Note: Network fees apply when transferring assets between wallets. These fees vary depending on the cryptocurrency and current blockchain activity. Check your external wallet for exact fee details before sending.
