Recover an old crypto wallet
Lost the key, not the money? SwapChan is here to help you find your money, senpai. First we get the key back on YOUR machine, offline. I never see your seed. Then we hunt for stuck funds and you sign every step yourself.
Warnings (read these)
- NEVER paste a seed phrase, private key, wallet file or password into a chat, an AI prompt, an email, or ANY website, including SwapChan.
- Run recovery code on your own machine, ideally offline. Agents write a local script; you run it.
- Only PUBLIC addresses leave your machine. Those go to find_money.
- "Wallet recovery services" that DM you or ask for your phrase are scams. Use open-source tools locally.
What do you have?

Use this in your agent
Call the MCP tool signing_guide (or recovery_guide). Pass situation for one branch, or situation=full for the complete playbook in-context: every method, decision tree, derivation paths and reference code. Example prompt:
“Help me recover my old wallet. Here’s what I still have: …”
Loop: recovery_guide → public addresses → find_money → verify_tx → human signs locally → broadcast_tx.
Already have a recovery transaction from find_money? Open the permanent link it gave you (it includes ?to=&data=) and sign step 1 here, then swap.
