If you already have a crypto wallet with a seed phrase (recovery phrase), you can import it into Atom Wallet to access your funds.

### Step 1: Open the Wallet List

From the home screen, tap the **wallet name** at the top to open your wallet list.

* **Add existing wallet** - Import using your seed phrase

Tap **"Add existing wallet"** and select the **Secret phrase** option.
