Exporting Your Private Key

How to Export Your Private Key

  • Log in to your UnicornX account

  • Navigate to the "Manage Wallets" section

  • Click the "Export" button to retrieve your Private Key for the BNB Smart Chain or Solana. For enhanced security, we recommend exporting both.

  • The reconfirm popup will ask you to click “Export” again to obtain a verification code from your email

  • Enter the verification code you received from your email and "Click Verify" to see your Privacy Key

Security Warnings

IMPORTANT: Please read before exporting your private key

  • Your private key is your most important security asset. Without it, you cannot recover your funds if you lose access to your email account.

  • Your private key provides complete access to your wallet and funds

  • Never share your private key with anyone

  • Do not store your private key in plain text on your computer or in cloud storage

  • Consider using a hardware wallet or encrypted storage solution

  • If someone obtains your private key, they can access and transfer all your funds

Emergency Actions (If Account is Compromised)

If your email is compromised:

  1. IMMEDIATE ACTION: Transfer Assets

  • Use your backed-up private key to import your wallet into another compatible wallet (like Phantom)

  • Immediately transfer all assets to a new, secure wallet address

  • Do not wait to recover your email first - protecting your assets is the priority

  1. Secondary Steps:

  • Contact UnicornX support to report the compromised account

  • Begin the process of securing your email account

  • Create a new UnicornX account with a secure email

Warning Signs of Compromise

  • Unexpected login notifications

  • Unauthorized transaction attempts

  • Changes to account settings you didn't make

  • Unable to access your email account

Remember: UnicornX uses MPC technology, but we do not store your private key. If you lose both your email access AND your private key backup, your assets cannot be recovered. Always prioritize backing up your private key securely.
