Ctrl Wallet alternative.
Move in minutes.
Ctrl Wallet, formerly XDEFI, was permanently shut down on 19 August 2026. Your assets are still yours: with your recovery phrase you can move to another self-custody wallet. Here is how to do it with THORWallet.
Find your recovery phrase
You need the words you saved when you created your Ctrl or XDEFI wallet. Keep them offline. Never type them into a website.
Install THORWallet
Get the app for iPhone or Android from the official store links on our download page.
Import your wallet
Choose Import Wallet, enter your recovery phrase, and check that your balances appear on each chain.
Consider a vault
For larger amounts, create a multi-device vault and send your funds to it, so no single device or phrase controls them.
Watch for fake migration sites. A shutdown attracts scammers. Ctrl states that it will never ask for your recovery phrase, and neither will we. Use only the official store listings linked from thorwallet.org.
The multi-chain wallet, continued.
If you used Ctrl for native swaps across many chains, the same idea lives on in THORWallet, with a few things added.
Native cross-chain swaps
THORWallet compares its swap routes on every swap and settles the real asset on the destination chain.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos and more in one wallet, on iPhone, Android and the web.

Several of your own devices sign together, so one lost phone or one leaked phrase is not enough.

Is Ctrl Wallet shut down?
Yes. Ctrl Wallet, formerly XDEFI Wallet, states on its website that it was permanently shut down on 19 August 2026.
Are my funds lost?
No. Your assets live on the blockchains, not in the wallet app. As long as you have your recovery phrase you can import it into a compatible self-custody wallet and keep managing your funds.
Can I import my Ctrl or XDEFI recovery phrase into THORWallet?
Yes. In THORWallet choose Import Wallet and enter your recovery phrase. Check that your balances appear on each chain before you rely on the new setup. If a chain does not show the balance you expect, contact support in the app before you move anything.
Is THORWallet affiliated with Ctrl Wallet?
No. THORWallet is an independent self-custody wallet and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Ctrl or XDEFI.
Will anyone from Ctrl or THORWallet ask for my recovery phrase?
No. Nobody legitimate will ever ask for it. Type it only into the wallet app itself, never into a website, a form or a chat.
Keep your keys. Keep going.
Import your wallet, or start fresh with a multi-device vault.
The fine print
- Ctrl's shutdown date and statement are quoted from ctrl.xyz as read on 12 November 2026.
- Ctrl and XDEFI are trademarks of their respective owners. THORWallet is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
- Importing a recovery phrase gives the importing app full control of that wallet. Only import into software you trust, downloaded from an official store.
