Solved: Why are my Assets not Showing after Importing my Wallet to UniSat?

Question:


I imported my Sparrow wallet into UniSat, but my assets are not showing up. The UniSat wallet is empty. But still my assets are present in Sparrow wallet.

Answer:


We personally checked this issue, and the user had the following derivation path for the Sparrow wallet they imported:

(m/86'/0'/0'/0/1)

When you import any wallet to UniSat, the default derivation path will be:

(m/86'/0'/0'/0/0)

So, to import your wallets with different derivation paths, simply click Account on your UniSat wallet.

Hit Plus button.

Choose the name of account and click Create a Account.

Your new account will be created with the derivation path of m/86'/0'/0'/0/1 within same wallet, and your assets will be visible there.

Using same method, you can create accounts for all derivation paths in this order:

m/86'/0'/0'/0/0     for first account on UniSat
m/86'/0'/0'/0/1     for second account on UniSat
m/86'/0'/0'/0/2     for third account on UniSat
m/86'/0'/0'/0/3     for fourht account on UniSat

The number 86 is only used for Taproot addresses. Here you can see the type of your wallet address:

Wallet Types Address starts with
Native Segwit bc1q
Nested Segwit 3
Taproot bc1p
Legacy 1

When importing other types of addresses, the derivation path will be as follows:

m/84'/0'/0'/0/0     Native segwit address
m/49'/0'/0'/0/0     Nested segwit address
m/44'/0'/0'/0/0     Legacy address
