Wallet Compatibility
W2QR works with any BIP-39 wallet — or no wallet at all.
W2QR is not a wallet
W2QR is an encryption and backup tool for seed phrases. It does not manage keys, sign transactions, or connect to blockchains. Your encrypted QR is a portable backup that works independently of any wallet software.
However, W2QR includes a built-in wallet viewer that lets you check balances, view addresses, and perform basic operations directly in your browser after decrypting your seed phrase — no additional app needed.
Pure QR code usage
You can use W2QR entirely as a "QR code app" without ever installing a wallet like MetaMask or Coinomi. The workflow:
- 1. Create or import your seed phrase on W2QR
- 2. Encrypt it into a QR code
- 3. Use the built-in W2QR wallet to view addresses, check balances, and manage assets
- 4. When done, close the page — your seed phrase is cleared from memory
Your QR code is your wallet access point. Scan it anytime on any device with a browser.
Compatible wallets
Any wallet that accepts a BIP-39 mnemonic (12 or 24 words) is compatible. After decrypting your seed phrase on W2QR, you can import it into:
This is not an exhaustive list. Any BIP-39 compatible wallet works.
Supported blockchains
W2QR encrypts the seed phrase itself, which is blockchain-agnostic. The same encrypted QR works for Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and any other blockchain that uses BIP-39 mnemonics.
The built-in W2QR wallet currently supports viewing addresses and balances for EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, etc.). For other chains, decrypt your seed phrase and import it into a chain-specific wallet.
W2QR Cards
W2QR Cards produce standard BIP-39 seed phrases when activated. The mnemonic derived from a card is identical to one created from scratch — fully compatible with all wallets listed above.
Plastic cards
A pre-printed W2QR plastic card contains a honey-encrypted QR. It decrypts to a standard BIP-39 seed phrase compatible with all wallets listed above. Print both your wallet QR and password QR on plastic cards — no wallet compatibility difference between cards and digital QR codes.
Backward compatibility
W2QR reads QR codes created by all previous versions, including the original text2qr.com format. If you have old QR codes, they will continue to work.
