Common recovery scam patterns
Scammers target users who are stressed about missing balances, failed restores, slow sync, or exchange withdrawals. They may pretend to be wallet support and ask for recovery words “to verify” the wallet.
Real restore-height troubleshooting does not require your seed phrase on a website.
Safer restore flow
Download wallet software from official sources, verify the publisher, restore inside the app, choose a conservative restore height, and let synchronization finish. Stop if any step asks you to paste recovery words into a website or chat.
What this site can and cannot do
This site can explain restore height and estimate a public chain height from a date. It cannot recover funds, check a seed phrase, check a balance, connect to a wallet, or replace official support.
Official sources to verify
