Why is my seed phrase invalid when I import?

If you encounter an error message stating that your seed phrase is invalid during import into your ELLIPAL Wallet, it means that the software cannot recognize the provided phrase. Here are some potential reasons for this issue:

  1. Incorrect spelling: Carefully check all words for typos, and ensure that they are entered in lowercase.

  2. Incorrect words: Confirm that every word is part of the BIP39 word list. You can find the complete BIP39 seed phrase list online to compare and identify any spelling errors.  BIP39 word list: bips/bip-0039/english.txt at master · bitcoin/bips · GitHub

  1. Incorrect word sequence: Verify that the seed phrases are entered in the exact sequence as generated.

  2. Incorrect formatting: Ensure there are no extra spaces before, in between, or after the words, except for the auto generated space after each word. Do not add a space after the final word.
