How to resolve invalid private key error when importing wallet?
I tried importing my private key into my wallet app, but I keep getting an 'Invalid Private Key, please use a Bech32 encoded 33-byte string.' error. I downloaded the wallet again, but the issue persists even when I try importing from passphrase, and end up seeing a wallet with zero balance. What should I do to fix this?

4Hey! can you let me know which wallet you’re using is it Suiet or Slush? Also, there’s a chance your private key format might be wrong. Some wallets expect a specific format like Base64, not raw hex or other types
Ensure that you are using the correct format for the private key. Bech32 is a specific encoding format, and your private key should be in that format. If you have a seed phrase (12 words), try using the 'import seed phrases' option instead and see if it resolves the issue.
If you see a different wallet with zero balance, it's possible that the passphrase or private key does not match the intended wallet. Double-check the seed phrases or private key for any typos or errors.
Which wallet are you using? Have your tried to import the seed phrase instead?
