Migrated Legacy Wallet Recoveries
This recovery option is used to recover Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) from wallets that were affected by the Bitcoin Cash hard fork. It is also used to recover Bitcoin Gold (BTG).
Important: This recovery flow requires Wallet Recovery Wizard (WRW) version 1.9.2. It is not available in newer versions.
Prerequisites
- Download Wallet Recovery Wizard v1.9.2
- Have your wallet keycard ready.
- Know your wallet passphrase (or have your decrypted private key).
Steps
- Open WRW and select the correct environment:
- Testnet — for test wallets
- Mainnet — for production wallets
- Select Non-BitGo Recoveries from the left navigation.
- Select the coin you want to recover (BCH, BSV, or BTG).
- Fill in the following fields:
- Original Wallet ID: The ID of the wallet that was migrated from (your original v1 wallet ID).
- Destination Address: The address where recovered funds will be sent. This must be an address that supports the coin you are recovering.
- Wallet Passphrase: The passphrase for the wallet that currently holds the funds. This is used to decrypt your keys. You can leave this blank if you are entering a private key instead.
- 2FA Code: The 2-Factor Authentication code for your BitGo account.
- Click Recover Wallet to initiate the recovery transaction.
