Self Custody and Security
Can I use a third party wallet such as Metamask?
Yes, but with important limitations depending on how you intend to use it. Here's how third-party wallets work with Republic:
Using a Third-Party Wallet for Payment or Receiving Assets
You can use a wallet like MetaMask to pay for an investment if the offering accepts crypto payments.
You can submit a third-party wallet address to receive assets, but only for assets that are not regulated real-world assets (RWAs).
You cannot receive regulated RWAs to a third-party wallet. These assets must be delivered to your Republic Wallet, which is tied to your verified (KYC) identity and required for regulatory compliance.
Importing a Wallet into Republic
If you want to use the same wallet address across platforms, you can import your seed phrase when creating a Republic Wallet. This gives you the same address as your third party wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.)
This is optional and entirely your security decision—be sure you’re comfortable reusing your seed phrase
Keep in mind: while Republic Wallet supports imported wallets, some features may not be fully compatible or guaranteed long-term for imported setups. You may be asked to set up a new fresh wallet.
Exporting Your Republic Wallet
No matter how you set up your wallet—new or imported—you will always have the ability to export your Republic Wallet. This ensures your assets remain portable and under your control at all times.
