Using Your Vibrant Backup Phrase for Transactions on the Stellar Network

To demonstrate one method to make transactions outside of Vibrant, here is a tutorial on how to send transactions from your Vibrant account’s underlying Stellar address without using Vibrant.

Before you start, make sure that you have the following ready:

Your Stellar address - You can find this by going to Profile > Stellar address
Your 12-word backup phrase - You can create this by going to Profile > Privacy & Security > Back up your account
Funds in your Vibrant account - You can’t make transactions without funds

Then, follow these steps:

Launch Stellar Laboratory and build a transaction.
- Here are the required fields:
  - Source account: Your Stellar address
  - Operation type: Payment.

Note: You can also do other operations with this wallet address

Be sure to tap “Sign in Transaction Signer” when you’re done

Extract your secret key from your backup phrase. You can do this from your terminal with the stellar-hd-wallet package. That said, any Stellar key derivation library (SEP-5) will do.

From Terminal:

npm install stellar-hd-wallet && node

const StellarHDWallet = require('stellar-hd-wallet');

const mnemonic = "<insert your 12 word backup phrase>"

const wallet = StellarHDWallet.fromMnemonic(mnemonic);

console.log("Secret Key:", wallet.getSecret(0));

Sign your transaction
- Back in Stellar Laboratory, enter your secret key under “Add Signer”
Submit your transaction 🎉 That’s it!
