- Yes, but you must do so at a crypto exchange. Note that this is out of BitCanna’s purview, but more information can be found in this guide.

Then, even if you lose your phone or your wallet details, you can recover them.
- How do I transfer my wallet to another device?
- You need two things to transfer your wallet to another device: Keplr and your seed phrase. Instal the browser extension and select “import account” as the login method. Next, enter your seed phrase to restore your account.
- I lost the seed phrase for my Keplr wallet. What should I do?
- If you still have access to your Keplr wallet, you can recover your seed phrase in the browser extension.
