Each BLOC wallet is essentially, just a pair of keys (View Key and Spend Key) from which the public address is derived. It is very important to export these keys and back them up somewhere that is safe and secure (meaning somewhere reliable/permanent that no one else can access).
In the event of a lost or corrupted wallet file, computer crash, etc., the View Key and Spend Key are the only way to restore a wallet and recover the funds it holds.
DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE. Anyone who has these can access your funds and has complete control over your wallet.
The View Key, Spend Key and the Mnemonic seed will appear. Copy them and store them safely and securely.
