Your funds are still safe.
Non of your assets are ever being stored by COINS - your funds are always stored in the public blockchain, tied to your individual wallet address. COINS app (like most other non-custodial wallet applications) only enables you to access and manage them.
Even if COINS stopped supporting a particular currency your funds are still safe and you did not lose them. You can not however manage them, check your balance, history of transactions, nor withdraw them using our app anymore. To manage your assets please import your recovery phrase (the same that you use with COINS app) to any other non-custodial wallet provider that supports that particular blockchain.
- What happens if the Coins app is temporarily our of order (or would permanently disappear)? Can I still access my funds from another wallet?
Yes, of course. We use the popular cryptocurrency standard HD Wallet (Hierarchically Derived) BIP39. So You can get access to your funds in other wallets that support the BIP39 standard. To get your funds in another wallet, you need to write your mnemonic phrases from the COINS app (12 words).
- Saving module was discontinued in your app. How can I access my NEXO SAVINGS account?
Our cooperation with NEXO savings was discontinued in 2023. COINS always just allowed to transfer your money from your wallet to wallet managed by NEXO, but we never handled your assets.
To reclaim your funds you need to write an e-mail to support@nexo.io and contact NEXO, as they have full custody over your assets. When contacting them make sure you are sending the e-mail from the same address you used to create your Nexo Savings account. Inform Nexo team you've created your account through COINS app, and ask how to proceed next. Nexo Team should return your message within 48 hours, usually much faster though.

- Why do I not see my funds or have different addresses after restoring mnemonics from Coins on another non custodial wallet?
This situation may occur if the wallet does not support the latest technology (eg Segwit). In this case, you need to find a wallet with the same technology as Coins.
- I have reset the phone settings or screen lock settings and my wallet doesn’t work.
Resetting the phone settings or screen lock setting may causes the loss of the private key. For your safety we do not store such data in the application. To regain access to the wallet, you must reinstall Coins app and restore wallet from the saved mnemonics phrases.
- I can’t send BTC to my Coins BTC address? BTC address is invalid, why?
There are three BTC address types:
- Legacy (P2PKH): addresses
start with a 1
- Nested SegWit (P2SH): addresses start with a 3
- Native SegWit (bech32): addresses start with bc1 (we use this type in Coins) Legacy address is the original BTC address.SegWit is the newer address format with lower fees. We use SegWit address because it guarantees faster transactions and lower fees but , not every wallet or exchange has upgraded to support the new SegWit address format and therefore , some wallets/exchanges can only send to Legacy addresses. In Coins we only support Segwit addresses.We are working on implementing legacy addresses.When it is possible we will inform You.
- Legacy (P2PKH): addresses
start with a 1
- Why 20 XRP is an unspendable balance?
