Argent X

Starknet browser-extension smart-contract wallet

We reviewed Argent X using 4 official and public sources. The notes below focus on custody, recovery, and security trade-offs.

Argent X is a separate Starknet smart-account product with a conventional seed recovery path, so it should not inherit the mobile Argent record’s seedless recovery assumptions.

Backup and keys

Argent X is not the seedless mobile wallet: Argent’s own recovery guidance explicitly distinguishes its phrase-based recovery from mobile and web surfaces.

Security and privacy

Starknet smart-account self-custody with browser/DApp, contract, seed, guardian, fee, and extension risks; account abstraction changes transaction semantics versus EOA wallets.

Privacy note
Argent X client, guardian, and DApp privacy behavior require a dedicated current review.

Sources we checked

4 sources reviewed, with 4 documented claims tied to specific fields.

  • Argent developer documentation

    Argent documentation identifies Argent X as a browser-extension Starknet wallet and distinguishes it from Argent mobile and Web Wallet surfaces.

  • About wallet recovery

    Argent states that Argent X uses a 12-word seed phrase for recovery, unlike the seedless mobile account.

  • Argent developer documentation

    Argent X is documented as an open-source Starknet wallet powered by native account abstraction and browser-extension integration.

  • Argent Web Wallet

    Argent Web Wallet is a separate self-custodial Starknet wallet using email/password onboarding, so it must not be merged with Argent X’s seed-based recovery.
