Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Hedera Wallet and the Hedera network.

Hedera Wallet is a secure, user-friendly cryptocurrency wallet designed specifically for the Hedera network. It allows you to store, send, and receive HBAR, HTS tokens, and NFTs while providing access to DeFi applications and services built on Hedera.

Hedera uses hashgraph consensus technology, which provides faster transactions (3-5 seconds), lower fees, and better energy efficiency compared to traditional blockchains. It's governed by a council of leading global organizations and offers enterprise-grade security and sustainability.

Hedera Wallet implements multiple layers of security including 2FA, hardware wallet integration, and multi-signature support. Your private keys are encrypted and stored locally on your device, never shared with our servers.

Unfortunately, if you lose your recovery phrase and don't have access to your wallet, there's no way to recover your funds. We strongly recommend writing down your recovery phrase and storing it in a secure location immediately after creating your wallet.

Transactions on Hedera typically confirm within 3-5 seconds due to the efficiency of hashgraph consensus. This is significantly faster than most other networks which can take minutes or even hours.
