How to take a Backup of your XDCPay Extension?

The XDCPay is an extension for accessing XDC’s XDPoS enabled distributed applications, or “DApps” in your browser! The extension injects the XDC’s XDPoS Web3 API into every website’s javascript context, so that DApps can read from the Blockchain.

BlocksScan added contributions towards XDC Network Ecosystem and have successfully upgraded XDCPay 2.0 with the latest code of Metamask (before it’s licence applied). XDCPay browser extension wallet Beta version was available for testing within the XDC Community since December last year.

The beta version of XDCPay 2.0 was available for testing on the Chrome extension as “XDCClassic” for the last few weeks, and upon completing the testing and confirming with all the “XDCPay” users, we are proposing to go live on the primary extension, i.e. “XDCPay.” BlocksScan requested “XDCPay” users to take backups of all their “XDCPay” accounts as soon as possible. Here we have the steps to take backup on XDCPay.

Step 4: By clicking on the “Reveal Secret Seed Words” you will be able to recover your XDCPay Wallet.

Note: If a user has multiple accounts in XDCPay then after importing the existing seed phrase to the new XDCPay version, the user needs to click on the “Create Account” button to recover the accounts.

Step 5: Due to account recovery risk, we should take a backup of each and every private key which contains the fund or which are the owners of any smart contract.

Steps to Backup of Private key:

Step 1: Click on the THREE dots to view the Account options and Click on the “Export Private Key” option.
