To be clear and specific, how do you export the private key for that particular address?

Make sure you did export the private key instead of importing the seed phrases. And Have you tried to import the private keys to other wallets?

Which Wallets support VET? I tried Comet Wallet (https://cometpowered.com), but this site ain't work (I can't create a wallet). It's not available in the Chrome Web Store anymore.......

By importing a wallet via the VechainThor app I took the following steps:

Import a wallet > Mnemonic Phrases > filled in the recovery phrases > Gave the wallet a name. Now I think this ain't the right thing?

The Metamask Community shows me a Comet solution, which ain't work as mentioned above.

If I only had a person right next to me, who can step by step help me solving this irritating problem.......

There you go. I already suspect that you are importing Metamask seed phrase instead of the address private key.

Ideally, if you are using the same seed phrase, you should be able to get that particular address by just creating a new address on your VechainThor APP, try to add a new address like 5 or 6, then see if the ....adda address shows up.


But in case the above method doesn't works, another thing you can try is:

1. Export the private key of 0x1bacb2431d48634464c1a6fe7961397720c7adda address on the Metamask. Refer to and adhere to the warning on https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015289632-How-to-Export-an-Account-Private-Key
2. Import the private key into the wallet.

You should've get the adda address on the wallet, but I don't know if the wallet support manually importing via private key, so you should try it.

Note that, importing seed phrases from some wallet to another wallet is not a good security practice. Also, since you are dealing with sensitive information, make sure you are doing in a secure environment.

If there is a wallet that supports eth and is also vet, install that wallet on your phone or computer. Then open your wallet on that wallet app with your secret key, mnemonic phrase or json arbitrary. Then add vet with contract address and withdraw. If there is no such wallet application, unfortunately, your job is really difficult. I hope you solve your problem

I found a similar case posted in another forum last year and the solution provided may have worked. It involves dowloading another wallet so study thouroughly and understand the risk before following the steps https://community.metamask.io/t/vechain-thor-send-to-metamask/1266

OP should tried this.

So, there is no big thing @OP should doing. I read this method, and the only things @OP need to find a supported wallet with the same private key format. I guess, to find the wallet @OP can also tried to ask with "VET" community.

Tried reddits, is helped a lot.

Hi guys,

I have a big issue. In February this year I transferred my VET to my Metamask Wallet via the Binance app. Then I found out that Metamask does not support VET. So my money is currently "floating".

I just checked https://explore.vechain.org/accounts/0x1bacb2431d48634464c1a6fe7961397720c7adda/ My transaction is just visible. Address is 100% correct.

Now I have downloaded VeChain Thor app, after a nice search on Friend Google. When importing my "0x1ba.........adda" address to this app - after entering the private key - suddenly a completely different address appears in the app: "0x0B.....161c". Whatever I try, I can't see the value, let alone import my Metamask address into the VeChain Thor app.

What am I doing wrong? I searched on Google for hours, but I still haven't found out how to claim the VET coins, which I accidentally transferred to Metamask.

Any help is welcome  Smiley

That would be big problem and If I am in your situation I will be in panic. BTW. Have you tried this suggestion from Metamask?

https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058795251-How-to-access-my-VET-tokens-after-sending-them-to-MetaMask-

It could help you retrieve your VET from your Metamask.
