How to Migrate from MyMonero to Cake Wallet

Bring your Monero (XMR) from MyMonero into Cake Wallet either by restoring your seed or by sending the funds to a fresh Cake Wallet address.

Before you start

Option 1: Restore your MyMonero seed in Cake Wallet

  1. In MyMonero, open Settings and reveal your secret mnemonic (seed).
  2. In Cake Wallet, tap the wallet menu and choose Restore Wallet, then select Monero.
  3. Choose restoring from seed and enter your MyMonero seed exactly as shown, then confirm.
  4. Let the wallet synchronize. If your balance does not appear right away, run a rescan from the wallet's restore height.
If Cake Wallet does not accept your seed format, don't worry — simply use Option 2 below and move the funds with a regular transaction.

Option 2: Send your funds to a new Cake Wallet

  1. Create a new Monero wallet in Cake Wallet and back up its seed (see Create new wallet).
  2. Open the Receive screen in Cake Wallet and copy your new XMR address.
  3. In MyMonero, choose Send, paste the Cake Wallet address, and send your full balance (network fees are typically very small).
  4. Wait for confirmations — Monero funds unlock after 10 blocks, roughly 20 minutes.
