4. Importing via Vertcoin Core

Vertcoin Core does not directly support importing seed phrases. However, you can import private keys generated from the seed phrase using external tools like the BIP39 Tool.

1. Go to the BIP39 Tool (run offline for security).
2. Enter your seed phrase:

   dawn split mom ship sort run ten grace puppy silk stool toward
   

3. Select Coin: Vertcoin (VTC).
4. Find the private keys in the Derived Addresses section.
5. In Vertcoin Core, use the command:

   importprivkey <private_key>
   

   to import the keys.

5. Security Recommendations

• Never enter your seed phrase on untrusted or suspicious websites.
• Work with your wallet in a secure environment.
• Use encryption and two-factor authentication whenever possible.
