The official retirement date for Jaxx Liberty is set for March 27, 2023, at 8:00 am ET. Following this transition, users will retain access to their 12-word backup phrase for a limited duration; however, transactions will be disabled, and balances may become outdated. To seamlessly migrate your Jaxx Liberty wallet, refer to the guidelines provided in this post to transfer your assets to a compatible wallet like Edge Wallet or Exodus Wallet.
As Jaxx Liberty operates as a non-custodial wallet, users have always maintained control over their assets, with neither Jaxx Liberty nor Decentral possessing the capability to control, access, or transfer cryptocurrency.
The migration process to a compatible wallet is straightforward – there’s no need to initiate asset transfers. Simply input your Jaxx Liberty 12-word backup phrase into a trusted platform like Edge Wallet or Exodus Wallet to manage your cryptocurrency going forward. Following the shutdown of Jaxx Liberty servers, utilizing your backup phrase with an alternative wallet will be the sole method for asset migration.
