Recovering Funds from Imported Addresses
Funds from your imported addresses are not backed up by your recovery phrase. To ensure they are backed up, transfer these funds directly into your Wallet.
Exporting Ethereum and Stellar Private Keys
Your recovery phrase secures all of your private keys, including your Ethereum and Stellar private keys. However, your Wallet also allows you to export your Ethereum and Stellar private keys individually, which can be useful if you receive an unsupported token to your Blockchain.com Wallet.
