The seed phrase is a set of words (usually 12 or 24) that allows you to regain access to your cryptocurrency wallet. It is created during the initial setup of the wallet and acts as the 'key to all keys.'
Each word in the phrase is taken from a standardized dictionary, and the order of words matters. The seed phrase is used to generate private keys that control your assets. This means that by owning just this phrase, you can restore your wallet on any device.
Why it must not be lost:
Lost the phrase — lost access to the wallet. Forever.
No one will be able to help recover it — neither the exchange, nor customer support, nor the blockchain.
If someone gets your seed phrase — they will gain full control over your funds.
Tips:
-Keep the phrase in offline safety (paper, metal storage).
-Do not share it with anyone.
-Do not photograph it or upload it to the cloud.
The seed phrase is your responsibility. The security of your crypto assets starts with it.
