Recover Swaps from Seed
Restore and recover pending swaps using your mnemonic seed phrase.
Backup Your Mnemonic: Always store your mnemonic seed phrase securely. It's the only way to recover funds if you lose access to your device.
When to Use Recovery
Recovery is needed when:
- You cleared browser data (IndexedDB) or app storage
- You're moving to a new device
- App reinstallation cleared local storage
- You want to check for missed swaps
- Testing or debugging swap issues
Recover Swaps
Use the xpub derived from your mnemonic to query the API for associated swaps:
import { Client, IdbWalletStorage, IdbSwapStorage } from "@lendasat/lendaswap-sdk-pure";
// Initialize client with your mnemonic
const client = await Client.builder()
.withSignerStorage(new IdbWalletStorage())
.withSwapStorage(new IdbSwapStorage())
.withMnemonic("your twelve word mnemonic phrase ...")
.build();
// Recover all swaps from the server
const recovered = await client.recoverSwaps();
console.log(`Recovered ${recovered.length} swaps`);Process Recovered Swaps
Handle each recovered swap based on its current status:
const swaps = await client.listAllSwaps();
for (const stored of swaps) {
const swap = stored.response;
switch (swap.status) {
case "serverfunded":
console.log(`Swap ${stored.swapId}: Ready to claim!`);
await client.claim(stored.swapId);
break;
case "clientfundedserverrefunded":
console.log(`Swap ${stored.swapId}: Needs refund`);
break;
case "clientredeemed":
console.log(`Swap ${stored.swapId}: Complete`);
break;
default:
console.log(`Swap ${stored.swapId}: ${swap.status}`);
}
}Best Practices
Regular Backups: While recovery from seed works, having regular exports of your swap data can speed up the recovery process.
- Secure your mnemonic - Store it offline in multiple secure locations
- Test recovery - Periodically verify you can recover with your seed
- Act quickly - Recovered swaps may have time-sensitive actions
- Check all statuses - Don't assume swaps are complete without verifying
- Keep records - Export swap data periodically for faster recovery
