Exporting private keys or seed phrases

Account security: Key actions
Slingshot accounts are non-custodial, meaning you alone control your private keys and assets. Private keys are secured using advanced Multi-Party Computation (MPC) encryption technology.
You can manage your account security easily in the Profile → Settings → Security section. Here you can:
Change your PIN
Change your Password
Backup Your Account: If you haven't already backed up your account, you'll be prompted to securely store your 6-word backup phrase. Keep this phrase safe and never share it with anyone—Slingshot cannot recover it for you.
