# How to Export xPub Keys

An Extended Public Key (xPub) is a crucial component of hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets, allowing users to generate multiple receiving addresses without exposing private keys. This capability is especially valuable for merchants using non-custodial crypto payment gateways like **Paymento**, where privacy and control over funds are paramount.

**Note:**

* For UTXO-based blockchains like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and others, you must provide your **xPub** to integrate with Paymento.
* For account-based blockchains such as Ethereum, Tron, and other EVM-compatible networks, you only need to provide your **wallet address**.

Below are step-by-step guides to help you export your xPub key from various popular wallets.

**Exodus Wallet**

* Open Exodus on your desktop.
* Navigate to the wallet for the cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin).
* Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
* Select "Export xPub."
* Locate your xPub key in the exported file stored in the `exodus-exports` folder on your desktop.

**MetaMask** \
MetaMask does not support xPub key export because it focuses on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. For these networks, you only need your account address to integrate with Paymento.<br>

**Mycelium**

* Open Mycelium.
* Select the account you want to retrieve the xPub for.
* Tap the three-dot menu and choose "Account Details."
* Locate and copy your xPub key.

**Green Wallet (Blockstream)**

* Open Green Wallet.
* Access the wallet settings for the relevant account.
* Click "Export xPub" to display and copy the key.<br>

**Wasabi Wallet**

* Launch Wasabi Wallet.
* Right-click the desired wallet and select "View xPub."
* The xPub key will appear in a new window.<br>

**Prokey Wallet**

* Launch Prokey Wallet
* Select a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin&#x20;
* Navigate to Settings >> Advance Settings and click on Show XPUB.

**Coinomi**

* Launch the Coinomi app on your device.&#x20;
* Navigate to the cryptocurrency account (e.g., Bitcoin) for which you need the xPub.
* Tap on the three-dot menu or settings option for the selected cryptocurrency.&#x20;
* Look for an option like "Export xPub" or "Show xPub".

### **Alternative Method for Deriving xPub**

If your wallet does not support direct xPub export:

1. Use your recovery phrase on iancoleman.io/bip39 **(offline mode recommended).**
2. Select the coin type and derivation path:
   * BIP44 for Legacy (xPub)
   * BIP49 for SegWit (yPub)
   * BIP84 for Native SegWit (zPub)
3. Copy the derived xPub key from the output.

*Ensure you only use this method with proper security protocols.*

### **Conclusion**

Exporting your xPub is essential for UTXO-based blockchain payment integrations. Meanwhile, for account-based blockchains, providing your wallet address suffices. Understanding your wallet's specific process for accessing xPub keys ensures seamless and secure integration for accepting crypto payments.
