A seed phrase (also called a recovery phrase) is a series of 12 to 24 words that gives full access to your wallet. Anyone who has it can take your Bitcoin — no password needed.

Why it matters:

  • It’s the backup of your entire wallet

  • You can restore your wallet on any compatible app or device

  • If lost or stolen, your funds are at risk

Important Tips:

  • Write it down (don’t store it digitally)

  • Keep it in a safe place, away from fire or water

  • Never share it with anyone

If you control the seed, you control the coins. Lose the seed — lose everything.
