Govi Wallet Documentation

What is Govi Wallet

Govi Wallet is a non-custodial crypto wallet that allows you to store, manage, and use your digital assets across supported blockchain networks.

Unlike traditional services, Govi Wallet does not hold or control your funds. Your private keys and recovery phrase are stored locally on your device, which means you have full control over your assets at all times.

The wallet is designed to provide a simple and clear way to interact with crypto without unnecessary complexity. You can send and receive assets, track your balances, and use supported features such as staking directly from the application.

Govi Wallet supports multiple networks and tokens, allowing you to manage different assets in one place. The interface is built to be accessible for both new and experienced users.

Wallet Setup and Recovery

Govi Wallet allows you to either create a new wallet or restore access to an existing one. Since the wallet is non-custodial, all access to your funds is controlled through your recovery phrase and private keys, which are stored locally on your device.

During setup, you will be asked to either generate a new wallet or import an existing one using a recovery phrase. Both options give you full control over your assets, but they require careful handling of sensitive information.

It is important to understand that Govi Wallet does not store your private keys or recovery phrase. This means there is no way to recover access if this information is lost. Taking the time to properly set up and secure your wallet is essential before you begin using it.

Create a New Wallet

Creating a new wallet generates a unique recovery phrase that gives you full access to your funds. This phrase is created locally on your device and is never shared with external services.

1. Open Govi Wallet and select Create New Wallet
2. Set a secure password to protect access to the application
3. Save your recovery phrase when it is displayed
4. Confirm the recovery phrase as prompted to complete setup

The recovery phrase is the most important part of your wallet. It should be written down and stored securely before proceeding.

Import an Existing Wallet

1. Open Govi Wallet and select Import Wallet
2. Enter your recovery phrase exactly as it was originally created
3. Set a new password for local access
4. Complete the setup process and wait for your wallet to load

Make sure the recovery phrase is entered correctly. Even small differences will prevent the wallet from being restored.

Backup Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your wallet. It acts as a master key that provides full control over your funds.

You should store your recovery phrase in a secure and private location. It is recommended to keep it offline and avoid saving it in digital formats such as screenshots, notes, or cloud storage.

Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can access your wallet and transfer your funds. For this reason, it should never be shared or exposed to other people or services.

Govi Wallet does not store your recovery phrase and cannot recover it if it is lost. If you lose access to your recovery phrase, your funds may be permanently inaccessible.

The Govi Wallet interface is designed to provide a clear and simple view of your assets and activity. It allows you to quickly access your balances, manage transactions, and navigate between different features of the wallet.

When you open the wallet, you will see your main dashboard with an overview of your assets. From here, you can select tokens, view transaction history, and access key actions such as sending or receiving funds.

Main Sections

• Assets — shows your current balances across supported tokens
• Transactions — displays recent activity and transaction history
• Actions — includes options such as Send, Receive, and other available features

These sections are designed to give you quick access to the most important parts of the wallet without unnecessary complexity.

Navigation

You can navigate through the wallet using the main menu or interface tabs. Each section is organized to help you find what you need with minimal steps.

Switching between assets or features does not affect your funds. It only changes what is displayed on the screen.

Managing Assets

You can view and manage multiple assets within the wallet. Selecting an asset will show its balance, transaction history, and available actions.

Depending on the supported networks, you may also be able to add or manage tokens within the wallet interface.

Sending crypto from Govi Wallet allows you to transfer your assets to another wallet address on a supported network. The process is straightforward, but it is important to carefully review all details before confirming a transaction.

Each transaction is processed on a blockchain network and may require a network fee. Once confirmed, the transaction cannot be reversed.

How to Send Crypto

1. Open Govi Wallet and select the asset you want to send
2. Click the Send button
3. Enter the recipient’s wallet address
4. Enter the amount you want to send
5. Review the transaction details, including network fees
6. Confirm the transaction

After confirmation, the transaction will be submitted to the network and begin processing.

Before confirming a transaction, make sure all details are correct. Sending assets to the wrong address or using the wrong network may result in permanent loss of funds.

Receiving Crypto Overview

Receiving crypto in Govi Wallet allows you to accept funds from another wallet using your unique wallet address. Each asset has its own address depending on the selected network, so it is important to ensure the correct asset and network are selected before receiving funds.

Once a transaction is sent to your address, it will be processed on the blockchain and appear in your wallet after confirmation.

How to Receive Crypto

1. Open Govi Wallet and select the asset you want to receive
2. Click the Receive button
3. Copy your wallet address or use the QR code
4. Share the address with the sender

After the transaction is sent, it may take some time to appear depending on network conditions. Make sure the sender is using the correct network and asset type. Sending funds to an incompatible network may result in permanent loss.

Receive GOVI in Your Wallet

Use the address below to receive GOVI on the Ethereum network. You can copy the address or share it using the QR code available in the wallet interface.

Overview

Transaction fees, often referred to as gas fees, are required to process transactions on blockchain networks. These fees are not set or controlled by Govi Wallet. Instead, they are determined by the network and are paid to validators or miners who process and confirm transactions.

The cost of a transaction can vary depending on network conditions. When network activity is high, fees may increase as more users compete to have their transactions processed. During periods of lower activity, fees are typically reduced.

Estimated Fees

In most cases, the wallet will display an estimated fee before you confirm a transaction. This allows you to review the total cost, including both the amount being sent and the associated network fee. Some networks may also allow you to adjust the fee, which can affect how quickly your transaction is confirmed.

Fee Impact on Processing Time

Higher fees generally result in faster processing, while lower fees may lead to delays. However, the exact confirmation time depends on the network and its current load.

Important Note

It is important to understand that transaction fees are required for every operation on the blockchain, including sending assets and interacting with smart contracts. These fees are part of how decentralized networks function and cannot be avoided.

Overview

After sending a transaction, you can track its status directly in Govi Wallet. The status reflects the current stage of the transaction on the blockchain network.

A transaction may appear as pending while it is being processed. Once it is included in a block, it becomes confirmed. In some cases, a transaction may fail due to network conditions or incorrect parameters.

Status Overview

Processing time depends on the selected network and its current load. Some transactions are confirmed quickly, while others may take longer during periods of high activity.

Overview

Staking is a way to participate in blockchain networks by locking your assets for a certain period of time in exchange for rewards. Instead of simply holding tokens in your wallet, staking allows you to put them to use and earn additional tokens over time.

When you stake your assets, they are used to support network operations such as transaction validation and security. In return, the network distributes rewards based on the amount staked and the conditions of the staking program.

Rewards and APY

The exact reward rate, often expressed as APY (Annual Percentage Yield), may vary depending on the asset, network conditions, and staking duration. Some staking options may require locking your assets for a fixed period, while others may offer more flexibility.

Important Considerations

It is important to understand that while staking can generate rewards, it also involves certain trade-offs. Locked assets may not be immediately available, and rewards are not guaranteed. Always review the terms before staking your assets.

Overview

Staking in Govi Wallet allows you to lock supported assets directly from the wallet interface and start earning rewards. The process is simple, but it is important to review the available options and conditions before confirming.

Different assets may offer different staking terms, including lock-up periods, reward rates, and minimum amounts.

How to Stake

1. Open Govi Wallet and select the asset you want to stake
2. Navigate to the Staking section
3. Choose a staking option based on available terms
4. Enter the amount you want to stake
5. Review the lock-up period, rewards, and conditions
6. Confirm the staking transaction

Once confirmed, your assets will be locked according to the selected terms.

Supported Assets

Ethereum (ETH) - 5.2% APY
Bitcoin (BTC) - 4.8% APY
Tether (USDT) - 8.5% APY
GOVI Token - 18.0% APY

Overview

Before staking your assets, it is important to understand the conditions under which staking operates. Each staking option may have different terms, including how long your assets are locked and how rewards are calculated.

These terms affect both your ability to access funds and the potential rewards you may earn over time.

Lock-up Periods

Some staking options require your assets to be locked for a fixed period of time. During this period, your funds cannot be transferred or used.

Lock-up periods can vary depending on the asset and staking program. Shorter lock-ups may offer more flexibility, while longer lock-ups may provide higher rewards.

Make sure you are comfortable with the duration before confirming a staking action.

Rewards and APY

Staking rewards are typically distributed over time and are often expressed as APY (Annual Percentage Yield). This represents the estimated return based on current conditions.

The actual rewards you receive may vary depending on factors such as network activity, validator performance, and the total amount staked across the network.

Rewards are not guaranteed and may change over time.

Reward Distribution

Depending on the staking model, rewards may be distributed continuously, at fixed intervals, or after the lock-up period ends.

You can usually track your earned rewards directly within the wallet interface.

Overview

Keeping your wallet secure is essential when using a non-custodial solution like Govi Wallet. Since you have full control over your private keys and assets, you are also responsible for protecting them from loss or unauthorized access.

There is no central authority that can recover your wallet or reverse transactions. For this reason, following basic security practices is critical when managing your funds.

Best Practices

• Store your recovery phrase in a secure and private location
• Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone
• Use a strong password to protect access to your wallet
• Keep your device and operating system up to date
• Avoid installing untrusted applications or browser extensions

These simple steps can significantly reduce the risk of losing access to your wallet or exposing your funds.

Avoiding Common Risks

Be cautious when interacting with external links, unknown websites, or third-party services. Phishing attempts and malicious applications are common in the crypto space and may try to trick you into revealing sensitive information.

Always verify addresses, URLs, and transaction details before taking any action.

Overview

Your wallet is secured by two key elements: your private keys and your recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase). These components are used to generate and control access to your wallet on the blockchain.

Govi Wallet stores this information locally on your device and does not transmit it to any external servers. This ensures that you remain in full control of your assets, but it also means that protecting this information is entirely your responsibility.

Understanding how private keys and recovery phrases work will help you avoid common mistakes and reduce the risk of losing access to your funds.

Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase)

The recovery phrase is a set of words generated when you create a wallet. It is designed to be a human-readable backup that allows you to restore your wallet on any supported device.

This phrase represents your entire wallet and can be used to recover all associated addresses and balances. Because of this, it should be treated as highly sensitive information.

Recovery Phrase Example:

apple river stone bright velvet tree  
silver moon echo glass sunset field
            

The words must be stored in the correct order. Even a single missing or misplaced word will make it impossible to restore your wallet.

Private Key

A private key is a unique cryptographic string that provides direct access to a specific wallet address. Unlike the recovery phrase, which restores the entire wallet, a private key typically corresponds to a single account or address.

In most cases, Govi Wallet manages private keys automatically in the background, so you do not need to interact with them directly.

Private Key Example:

0x4c0883a69102937d6231471b5dbb6204fe512961708279f9c7c6b1f3b5a5c9f1
            

Private keys should never be shared, stored in unsecured environments, or entered into unknown applications. Anyone with access to a private key can fully control the associated funds.

Overview

Access to your wallet depends entirely on your recovery phrase and private keys. Since Govi Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, there is no central system that can restore access if this information is lost.

If you lose access to your device but still have your recovery phrase, you can restore your wallet on a new device and regain full access to your funds.

Restoring Your Wallet

To recover access to your wallet:

• Install Govi Wallet on a new device
• Select Import Wallet
• Enter your recovery phrase exactly as it was created
• Set a new password for local access
• Complete the setup process

Once restored, your balances and transaction history will be available again.

When Recovery Is Not Possible

If your recovery phrase or private keys are lost, access to your wallet cannot be restored. There is no way to reset your wallet, recover your funds, or reverse transactions.

Because blockchain systems are decentralized, no one — including Govi Wallet — can access or recover your wallet without the correct credentials.

Preventing Loss of Access

To reduce the risk of losing access:

• Store your recovery phrase in multiple secure locations
• Avoid keeping it in digital or easily accessible formats
• Do not share it with anyone
• Make sure you can access it when needed

Taking these precautions can help ensure that you retain access to your wallet over time.

Common Issues

While using Govi Wallet, you may occasionally encounter issues related to transactions, balances, or application behavior. Most of these issues are temporary and can be resolved with a few basic checks.

Transaction Not Appearing

If a transaction does not appear in your wallet, it may still be processing on the network:

• Check the transaction status using a blockchain explorer
• Wait for network confirmation
• Refresh or restart the wallet

Funds Not Received

If you do not see incoming funds:

• Make sure the correct wallet address was used
• Verify that the correct network was selected
• Allow time for the transaction to be confirmed

In some cases, funds may not appear if they were sent using an unsupported network.

Incorrect Balance

If your balance does not update correctly:

• Refresh the wallet interface
• Check your balance on a blockchain explorer
• Make sure the token is supported or added to your wallet

Application Issues

If the wallet is not working as expected:

• Restart the application
• Make sure you are using the latest version
• Check your internet connection

Sync or Loading Delays

If data is not loading properly:

• Wait for the wallet to sync with the network
• Restart the application
• Check network connectivity
