- Manage token balances
- Send and receive MPC and BYOC tokens
- Connect to applications via WalletConnect

2. Positioning & Ecosystem
Is this the official wallet of Partisia?
The PBC Wallet is developed in collaboration with the Partisia development team and aligned with the Foundation’s roadmap.
As an open ecosystem, Partisia supports multiple wallets, and users are free to choose the tools that best suit their needs.
Does this replace other wallets (e.g. Koala Wallet)?
No.
The ecosystem supports multiple wallets, each serving different use cases and user preferences.
The PBC Wallet provides an additional, infrastructure-aligned option designed to improve reliability and long-term ecosystem access.
Why is Partisia introducing its own wallet?
The wallet is part of a broader effort to strengthen core infrastructure and improve how users access the ecosystem.
It helps:
- Improve reliability and stability
- Provide a consistent access layer
- Align user experience with infrastructure development
3. Security & Data Control
Is the wallet custodial or non-custodial?
The wallet is non-custodial.
You control your private keys and your assets at all times.
Where are my keys stored?
Your private keys are stored locally on your device and protected by your PIN and device-level security.
They are not stored centrally or controlled by any third party.
What happens if I lose my phone?
If you lose your device, you can restore access to your wallet using your recovery details (e.g. seed phrase or private key).
Without these, your wallet cannot be recovered.
Is my data stored centrally?
No.
The wallet does not store your private keys or sensitive data centrally. You retain control over your information.
4. Wallet Structure
What is the difference between PIN, Wallet ID, and seed phrase?
- PIN → protects access to your wallet on your device
- Wallet ID → identifies your wallet for interactions and integrations
- Seed phrase / private key → used to recover your wallet
Do I need all of these?
It depends on how you use the wallet:
- Your PIN is required for device access
- Your recovery details are required for backup and recovery
- Your Wallet ID is used for interacting with applications and services
5. Functionality & Usage
Can I send and receive tokens?
Yes.
You can send and receive MPC tokens and BYOC tokens directly from the wallet.
Can I connect to applications?
Yes.
You can connect to supported applications using WalletConnect.
Does the wallet support MainNet and TestNet?
Yes.
You can switch between MainNet and TestNet within the wallet.
Can I have multiple wallets or accounts?
Support for multiple wallets/accounts is being developed and may depend on the version you are using.
Can I import an existing wallet?
Yes.
You can import a wallet using a private key or seed phrase (depending on version support).
6. Early Access & Development
What does “early access” mean?
Early access means the wallet is available with core functionality, while additional features and improvements are still being developed.
Will more features be added?
Yes.
The wallet will evolve over time, based on ecosystem needs, infrastructure development, and real-world use cases.
Why release the wallet now?
Releasing early allows users to start interacting with the ecosystem while the product continues to evolve.
It also strengthens the ecosystem by improving access, stability, and participation.

7. Ecosystem & Future Direction
How does this wallet fit into the Partisia ecosystem?
The wallet acts as an access layer, connecting users to applications, assets, and services across the ecosystem.
It supports participation and interaction with the network.
Will the wallet support more than assets in the future?
Digital infrastructure is evolving, and wallets are becoming more central to how users interact with applications and services.
The PBC Wallet is designed to evolve alongside these changes.
8. Privacy, Compliance & Data Sovereignty
How is my data protected?
The wallet is designed to minimise unnecessary data exposure.
You control your keys and your access, and sensitive information is not centrally stored.
Is this compliant with data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR)?
The wallet is designed with privacy and data protection principles in mind, ensuring users retain control over their data.
9. Security Best Practices
How should I protect my wallet?
- Never share your private key or seed phrase
- Store recovery details securely (offline recommended)
- Use a secure PIN
- Avoid using untrusted devices or networks
- Only connect to trusted applications
What should I do if I think my wallet is compromised?
- Move your assets to a new wallet immediately

- Contact support if needed
10. Support & Feedback
How do I report issues or bugs?
You can report issues through:
- Support tickets
- Community channels
Can I provide feedback?
Yes.
User feedback is valuable and helps improve the wallet over time.
Will feedback influence development?
Feedback is considered, but development priorities are guided by broader ecosystem strategy and infrastructure needs.
