“Not documented” means we didn’t find it in that wallet’s official docs on the date above, not that it doesn’t exist. Features change often; check each wallet’s own documentation. Spotted something out of date? Email contact@wyrolabs.org.
Switching to Wyro
You don’t need to move funds. Import your existing recovery phrase into Wyro and the same C-Chain addresses and balances appear. Keep your phrase offline, and only ever type it inside the app.

FAQ
Wyro vs Core: questions
Something else? Visit support or email us.
Is Wyro a good Core wallet alternative?
If you mostly use Avalanche from your phone, Wyro covers the same staking, Aave and Benqi, and recurring swaps as Core’s mobile app, and adds Hyperliquid perps on mobile, balance-change previews, and home-screen widgets. If you need a browser extension, gasless transactions, or seedless sign-in, Core offers those and Wyro doesn’t.
Can I use the same wallet in Core and Wyro?
Yes. Import the same recovery phrase into Wyro and you’ll see the same C-Chain addresses. Never type your recovery phrase anywhere except inside the app itself.
Can I stake AVAX in both?
Yes. Both support native delegation on the P-Chain. Wyro also lets you register a validator from your phone. In the Wyro web app, which is in private beta, signing staking transactions needs the Core browser extension.
