Frequently asked questions

These short answers point to the page that owns each topic. Follow the linked guide when you need steps or the full explanation.

Is Cedar self-custodial?

Yes. Cedar’s servers coordinate wallet requests, but they do not hold your passkey private key, trusted-phone key, or recovery phrase. See how Cedar protects Pocket and Vault for the custody and approval boundaries.

Is Cedar on mainnet?

No. Cedar is testnet-only and must not receive real funds.

Which networks does Cedar support?

Open Cedar’s selector and follow Check network availability. Keep Cedar, the faucet, sender, recipient, and crypto app on the same network.

Where can I get test tokens?

Use your Pocket address and the same testnet selected in Cedar. Follow Get test tokens for the current faucet path.

Do I need a seed phrase?

Not for regular sign-in: Cedar uses a passkey. A fresh Vault setup creates a 12-word recovery phrase for recovery and supported backup approvals. Learn what each approval method does.

What is Pocket?

Pocket is your everyday wallet for receiving, routine sends, and crypto app connections. It normally needs only your passkey. Understand Pocket.

What is Vault?

Vault is an optional wallet for balances and sensitive changes that should not depend on one approval method. It uses two of three methods: passkey, phone approval, and recovery phrase. Understand Vault.

Why are Pocket and Vault separate?

Pocket keeps routine actions quick; Vault adds a second approval for balances and changes that deserve an extra check. See how Cedar protects both wallets.

What are spending limits?

A spending limit controls how much of one Vault asset Move funds to Pocket may transfer. Creating, changing, or removing the limit needs Vault approval. Set a spending limit.

Can I add a custom token?

Yes. Import its contract address so Cedar can identify it and read its balance. Review the token carefully, then follow Import a custom token.

What if I lose an approval method?

The right path depends on what was lost and which approval methods remain. Use the recovery guide to choose the supported path before changing anything.

Do I need Cedar Wallet for iOS?

You need Cedar Wallet for iOS for Vault setup, phone approval, emergency recovery, and Vault-backed security changes. A Pocket-only passkey change can finish on the web. Choose where to use Cedar.

Is Cedar available on Android?

There is no Android app. You can use the web app from a supported browser and passkey provider, but Vault setup, phone approval, and emergency recovery still require Cedar Wallet for iOS.

What is the browser extension for?

Use it to connect Pocket or Vault to crypto apps, review their requests, and remove access. Connect Cedar to a crypto app.

Does disconnecting revoke token permissions?

No. Removing a connection stops sharing the Cedar account with that app, but it does not revoke token allowances or other onchain permissions. Follow Disconnect an app for the exact boundary.

What should I do if an action is pending?

What if my balance does not appear?

Check the wallet address, selected network, asset, and transaction status. Then follow If the balance does not update.

What if a request looks unfamiliar?

Reject it. A legitimate request can be started again after you confirm the app, wallet, network, asset, amount, recipient, and action.

Can I use real funds?

No. Use test tokens with no real monetary value. See Check network availability.
