The result contains a TRON address and a 64-character hexadecimal private key. These are different fields and must not be interchanged.

## Recognize the three fields you may encounter

The generated receiving address starts with T. The returned private key is a 64-character hexadecimal secret. A wallet seed phrase is a different recovery format and is not generated by this tool.

Do not put the private key into an explorer, receiving-address form or support message. Use only the documented private-key import flow of a wallet you trust and that supports TRON.


## Check the derived address after import

Before relying on an imported account, compare its complete address with the generator result. A successful import screen is not enough if the destination differs. Check the selected network and the wallet’s expected key format before proceeding.

This guide intentionally does not promise compatibility with every wallet version. Confirm the current import steps in the wallet’s own documentation rather than adapting instructions for an unrelated blockchain.


## Imported keys need their own backup plan

A seed phrase created earlier may not cover a separately imported key. Keep the exact exported secret using the wallet’s recommended secure backup procedure, and record which public address it should derive.

See [the backup checklist](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/tron-vanity-key-backup) for handling copies. Importing a key also does not automatically create the account’s on-chain state; read [the network and activation guide](https://www.tronvanity.io/blog/tron-mainnet-testnet-account-activation). No transfer is performed by the generator.
