Wallet-Bound Recovery Guide
Because your Trust ID is derived from your wallet, recovery is straightforward — as long as you have backed up correctly.
What to back up
- Your wallet seed phrase (single source of truth)
- The optional 12-word TrustLayer recovery phrase (encrypts your local vault)
- Your handle claim receipt (auto-emailed if you enabled email)
Restoring on a new device
Install TrustLayer → Import wallet → Sign the standard EIP-191 message. Your Trust ID, vouches, badges, and score reappear instantly because everything lives on Base and in the wallet-scoped local vault.
Key rotation
You can migrate your Trust ID to a new wallet by signing a rotation payload with the old wallet. All vouches, badges, and score follow.
