The |cryptox| is the third generation of the Concordium mobile wallets. It offers a comprehensive set of features for interacting with the Concordium blockchain.
It includes most of the functionality from the previous generations, but also introduces new capabilities like :term:`dApp connectivity`, support for Protocol7 and an improved user interface.

It offers :ref:`recovery from both backup file and seed phrase<recover-wallet>` and so it supports import of identities and accounts from both Concordium Wallet for Mobile, Concordium Legacy Wallet, and Concordium Wallet for Web.
It offers :ref:`recovery from both backup file and seed phrase<recover-wallet>`.

|cryptox| is the wallet where ongoing development and new features will be continually introduced. If you want to stay updated, this is the version to use.

.. dropdown:: Can I migrate from |mw-gen1| to |cryptox|?

Yes. |cryptox| supports both :ref:`seed phrase recovery and file based recovery <recover-wallet>` so you can easily import your |mw-gen1| wallet. You just need your |mw-gen1| backup file and the password you created when exporting it.

.. dropdown:: Can I continue to use the |mw-gen1|? Can I use both the |mw-gen1| and |cryptox| on the same device?

Yes, currently you can. |cryptox| and |mw-gen1| are separate apps so you can use them simultaneously or continue using only the |mw-gen1|. However, we strongly recommend migrating to |cryptox| as there will be no further updates to |mw-gen1| and eventually it will be shut down.

You only need your backup file and the password you created when exporting the file.

Be aware that any names you have given to identities and accounts are **specific to the device** so they will not appear when you recover the wallet on another device.
