Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to restore an Ethereum HD wallet:

What is an HD Wallet?

Before we dive into the process, let’s quickly understand what an HD (Hedera Hashgraph) wallet is. An HD wallet is a type of digital wallet that uses a cryptographic algorithm called Hedera Hashgraph (HGR) to store and manage private keys.

If you’re unable to recover your private key, don’t worry! You can create a recovery phrase to use later in case of an emergency.

• Click on “Generate” or “Recovery Phrase”

• Follow the prompts to create a recovery phrase

• Save the phrase securely, as it’s necessary for future recovery

• Click on the “Wallet” tab at the top of the page

• Select “HD Wallet” from the dropdown menu

• Look for the address associated with your recovery phrase. It should be displayed as a hexadecimal string

Step 5: Unlock Your Ethereum Account**

Once you’ve uploaded your private key and (if necessary) your recovery phrase, you can unlock your Ethereum account:

• Log in to your Ethereum account on the Ethereum mainnet (e.g.,
