YWallet

YWallet gives you direct control over which pool your funds live in, and it can export a viewing key — so you can check your exposure with Turnstile before you touch anything.

  1. 1

    Export your viewing key and check first

    More → Backup → Seed & Keys, turn on Show Sub Keys, and copy the Unified Viewing Key. Paste it into Turnstile. Know the answer before you make any move.

  2. 2

    Know what YWallet's key can and cannot show

    YWallet builds its unified viewing key from Sapling and Orchard only — it carries no transparent component. Turnstile will report your transparent balance as not visible, which is the key's limit, not an empty pool. Check any transparent balance in the app itself.

  3. 3

    Update to the Ironwood-aware release

    Install the latest YWallet before the activation height, so the wallet knows how to construct a transaction that moves value out of Orchard.

  4. 4

    Move Orchard funds through the turnstile

    Send your Orchard balance to your own address using the wallet's pool controls. Orchard becomes spend-only at the activation height — nothing is frozen, and nothing is lost, but a wallet that is up to date makes this a single action.

  5. 5

    Re-check with Turnstile

    Paste the same viewing key again. Orchard should now read zero and your verdict should change. That round trip is the whole point of the tool.
