Republic Wallet

Self Custody and Security

How do I keep my wallet secure?

Keeping your wallet secure comes down to protecting it from two risks: loss and theft.

1. Preventing Loss

If you lose access to your wallet (e.g., due to clearing browser data or deleting the app), you could lose access to your assets. To prevent this, backing up your wallet is essential. With Republic Wallet, you have two main backup options:

Option 1: Set up your wallet on multiple devices

On browser: Your wallet is saved to your browser’s local storage. Avoid clearing your browser storage, deleting passkeys/authenticator codes from your password manager, or uninstalling the browser until you’ve backed up your wallet elsewhere.

On mobile: Your wallet is saved to your phone’s local storage. Back up your wallet to a different device, before taking any of these actions: deleting the app, deleting passkeys, deleting passwords, uninstalling authenticator apps, or resetting your phone.

Option 2: Write down your seed phrase

When you create your wallet, you're shown a 24-word seed phrase. This is your master backup. Write it down and store it somewhere offline and secure—ideally in a fireproof safe or similar.

2. Preventing Theft

To keep your wallet safe from theft:

Never share your seed phrase with anyone—even Republic will never ask for it.
Be cautious of phishing links, fake apps, or websites pretending to be Republic.
Only use trusted devices and networks when accessing your wallet.
Enable device-level security, like passcodes or biometric locks, especially on mobile.

Taking a few minutes to back up your wallet and protect your seed phrase can save you from irreversible loss later. If you need help or want to double-check your setup, our support team is here for you.

Republic Core LLC (“Core”) provides technology and support services to OpenDeal Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, the “Republic Ecosystem”). Republic Note holders and as well as users of the site and services maintained by the Republic Ecosystem, regardless of and their activities on or relating to the Republic Ecosystem, are subject to the applicable terms of service, in their entirety.

Core is currently conducting an offering of Republic Notes under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to persons who are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Rule 501. Only accredited investors are eligible to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering. Accredited investors who wish to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering should receive and review carefully the Private Placement Memorandum pertaining to that offering, as it contains important information for potential investors to consider prior to making an investment decision. Accredited investors who wish to participate in the Rule 506(c) offering will be required to (i) complete a subscription agreement, (ii) acknowledge that they have received and read the Private Placement Memorandum, and (iii) provide information verifying their status as accredited investors.

Core is also “testing the waters” with respect to the sale of Republic Notes under Regulation A of the Securities Act. The “testing the waters” process allows companies to determine whether there may be interest in an eventual offering of its securities to qualified purchasers under Regulation A. Core is not under any obligation to make an offering under Regulation A. No money or other consideration is being solicited for an offering under Regulation A at this time and, if sent, it will not be accepted.

Core may choose to make an offering to some, but not all, of the people who indicate an interest in investing, and that offering may or may not be made under Regulation A. For example, Core may choose to proceed with its offering under Rule 506(c) without ever conducting a Regulation A offering, in which case only accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 will be able to buy Republic Notes.

If and when Core conducts an offering under Regulation A of the Act, it will do so only once (i) it has filed an offering statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (ii) the SEC has qualified such offering statement and (iii) investors have subscribed to the offering in the manner provided for in the offering statement. The information in the offering statement will be more complete than any test-the-waters materials and could differ in important ways. Prospective investors who are interested in participating in the Regulation A offering must read the offering statement filed with the SEC, when that offering statement becomes publicly available.

No money or other consideration is being solicited at this time in connection with any potential Regulation A offering and, if tendered, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities in a Regulation A offering can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement is qualified with the SEC. Any offer to buy securities may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of its acceptance is given after the qualification date. Any indication of interest in Core’s offering involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
