Disclaimer

It not recommended to run Mutiny on multiple devices, this can cause force closures and in the worst case a loss of funds. Recovery should only be done when necessary, not to run the same wallet across many devices.

On-chain

Mutiny uses taproot addresses for its on-chain wallet. This means funds are stored using the derivation path m/86'/0'/0'.

A lot of wallets do not support taproot yet, if you are trying to restore your on-chain balance outside of Mutiny, we recommend using Sparrow Wallet.

Lightning

Lightning relies on having the most up-to-date state in order to recover your funds, if you have an older version of your state, it can lead to a loss of funds.

In order to protect against this Mutiny duplicates it lightning state to an encrypted cloud storage called VSS. Your lightning state is encrypted to your seed so if you have your seed phrase, you should be able to recover your lightning funds. However, this is not 100% reliable and is not recommended to rely on, you should try your best to not lose your local state.

Transferring

If you are looking to transfer from one device to another, you can follow our guide here: https://blog.mutinywallet.com/migrate-mutiny-wallet-to-the-native-apps/
