Export Smart Wallet

Helixbox uses a combination of technologies to provide a secure and user-friendly wallet experience:

  • Privy: For secure wallet infrastructure and authentication
  • Safe{Wallet}: For smart contract wallet implementation
  • EOA Wallet: As the owner of your Smart Wallet
Disclaimer

Helixbox does not store or manage any account information. Our wallet system is powered by Privy. For more details about the security architecture and implementation, please visit Privy's Security Documentation.

Wallet Architecture​

Your Helixbox wallet combines:

  1. Base EOA Wallet (Owner)
    Controls the Smart Wallet
  2. Smart Wallet (Safe{Wallet})
    Manages assets and transactions
Backup or Recovery

No backup or recovery is needed, as your wallet is secured by your EOA wallet or credentials through Privy.
