# Restore

**POST /byron-wallets**

<p align="right">status: <strong>stable</strong></p>

Restore a Byron wallet from a mnemonic sentence or encrypted root private key (deprecated).

  **⚠️ WARNING ⚠️**

  The construction of random wallet in itself is **deprecated**, in particular the restoration from an encrypted root private key.
  These endpoints exist to ease migrations from legacy software such as `cardano-sl` but should be avoided by new applications.
