@premsudheer: We are currently phasing out the Crypto Wallet — after this date, functionality has been limited to exporting the seed phrase only.
If you have a saved 12-word seed phrase, you do not need to use this feature because you already have your wallet at hand.
You can import it into any other wallet, such as MetaMask, following the instructions in the article.
Please try to find your assets in the new wallet.
@reesjank: Based on your message, it seems you are using the Crypto Wallet for Android, which was sunsetted over six months ago (https://blogs.opera.com/crypto/2024/12/how-to-migrate-your-opera-mobile-crypto-wallet/). I have double-checked, and exporting the backup phrase is still available. Please remember: with non-custodial wallets, you are fully responsible for the security of your 12-word backup phrase.
@reesjank
I assume you created a wallet on your mobile device, during which you were prompted to write down your 12-word seed phrase. It appears that later you didn’t sync the wallet with an Opera Account and only used it on your phone.
Currently, the process for saving your backup phrase should look like this:
@tateunchained: It’s actually very good that you still have access to your recovery phrase (12 words). That phrase is the key to all your assets — it should be known only to you, and you can use it to restore your wallet in any other trusted wallet app (like MetaMask, as shown in the instructions).
You can continue using Opera Crypto Wallet until January 1, 2026, but we strongly encourage you to migrate your wallet as soon as possible. This way, you’ll have plenty of time to make sure everything is imported correctly (so you don’t forget to add any networks or custom tokens in the new wallet).
By the way, can you clarify where exactly you see that “Submit” button that doesn’t work? I’m asking because there shouldn’t really be such a button in the standard restore or migration process — so it might help to understand exactly which screen you’re on.
@Foltys If you did not save your 12-word recovery phrase, providing the correct wallet password — for the wallet stored locally in your browser or synchronized with your Opera Account — is the only way to regain access to your funds.
Opera never sends private messages (chats) in the Opera Forum to users about “wallet migration” or any other cryptocurrency-related actions.
If you receive such a message:
It is almost certainly a phishing attempt. Protect your keys, and never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone—even if the message looks “official.”
Import your wallet into MetaMask and make sure the balances of all your tokens match what you expect.
Next, check the balance of the network’s native token (for example, BNB on BNB Smart Chain, ETH on Ethereum, or MATIC on Polygon). This native coin is what pays the transaction fees.
If the native-token balance is zero or too low, top it up with a small amount so it can cover those fees. The USDT transaction will go through without the “insufficient” error only when MetaMask shows at least a minimal balance of that native token.
@LL3D Sounds like the “insufficient …” message is really saying “insufficient BNB for gas.”
Even though you have USDT on BNB Smart Chain, every transaction still needs a bit of native BNB to pay network fees.
The Opera Crypto Wallet password can’t be “recovered” in the traditional sense — it is not stored anywhere. It is only used to encrypt your seed phrase, and Opera has no access to it. There are two ways to unlock your wallet again:
Use your 12-word secret recovery phrase (backup phrase).
or
Sign in to your Opera Account and sync (if the wallet was saved there). In this case, you still need your wallet password, but not the recovery phrase.
In short:
Have the secret recovery phrase → restore the wallet and set a new password.
No phrase, but the wallet was saved to your Opera Account → log in, sync (you’ll still need the original wallet password), and recover the backup phrase.
@gaedp: First, check your last transaction on a public blockchain explorer to make sure it has been recorded. If it's not there, it may indicate a problem with the sending. You can also start using another wallet, such as MetaMask, by following the instructions.
