Importing Wallets

MyTonCtrl supports various types of wallet-like contracts, including wallet-v1, wallet-v3, lockup-wallet, and others. Often, it provides a straightforward way to interact with these contracts.

Importing Using a Private Key

If you have access to a private key, you can easily import a wallet. Enter the following command into the console:

iw <wallet-addr> <wallet-secret-key>

Here, <wallet-secret-key> is your private key in base64 format.

Importing Using a Mnemonic Phrase

If you have a mnemonic phrase (a sequence of 24 words like tattoo during ...), follow these steps:

1. Install Node.js.
2. Clone and install mnemonic2key:

   git clone https://github.com/ton-blockchain/mnemonic2key.git
   cd mnemonic2key
   npm install
   

3. Run the following command, replacing word1, word2... with your mnemonic phrase and address with the address of your wallet contract:

   node index.js word1 word2 ... word24 [address]
   

4. The script will generate wallet.pk and wallet.addr. Rename them to imported_wallet.pk and imported_wallet.addr.
5. Copy both files to the ~/.local/share/mytoncore/wallets/ directory.
6. Open the mytonctrl console and list the wallets using the wl command.
7. Verify that the wallet has been imported and displays the correct balance.
8. You can now send funds using the mg command. Enter mg to view the help documentation.

Remember to replace placeholders (words inside < >) with your actual values when running commands.
