+## DASH Notes
+
+### Importing wallets created with DASH version <21
+
+
+From version 21 DASH core can use the sethdseed rpc command.
+The old method to import a seed used the DASH specific upgradetohd rpc command.
+
+
+To import a wallet created on DASH v20 use basicswap-prepare with the --dashv20compatible flag.
+
+Example:
+
+    basicswap-prepare --withcoins=dash --particl_mnemonic="..." --dashv20compatible
