<mark style="color:blue;">**Import the Private Key :**</mark>

Input your backed-up plain-text private key (typically a 64-bit hexadecimal string, which may start with 0x), or scan the private key QR code. You can also import your private key via KeyPal Card.

Please be careful with case sensitivity. You can also freely set your wallet name (avoid duplicate names to prevent confusion).<br>

* Private Key = Key to Your Wallet: Whoever has the private key has full control over the wallet. Never disclose it!
* Difference Between Private Key and Mnemonic Phrase: A mnemonic phrase can restore the entire wallet (including multiple addresses). A private key can only restore the single corresponding address.
* Best Practices for Storage: Do not take screenshots or save to the cloud drive. It is best to write it down on paper offline or save it to the KeyPal Card.
