Your funds are safe if your phrase is safe
1. What is a seed phrase?
These are 12–24 words that are the only key to your wallet. If you lose them — you lose everything.
If someone else learns it — you no longer own your crypto assets.
2. What not to do:
🚫 Do not store in phone notes
🚫 Do not send to chat to yourself
🚫 Do not take screenshots
🚫 Do not enter the phrase on websites/bots/'airdrops' — especially if they 'ask' for it
3. How to do it:
✅ Write it down by hand — and not just once. Preferably on waterproof paper.
✅ Keep offline — a paper copy in a safe, fireproof box, bank vault.
✅ Split — you can break the phrase into two parts and store them separately. For example:
1–12 words — at home
13–24 — with a trusted person or in another place
✅ Metal is eternal
If you want the level of 'apocalypse is not scary' — use steel plates. They will survive water, fire, and falling on concrete.
4. Bonus — backup
A good practice is to have two backups stored in different places.
Summary:
Storing a seed phrase is like guarding a crown: it’s not visible, but everything is at stake. It’s better to spend an hour on a thoughtful storage method than to try to 'recover' the unrecoverable later.
🔐 Your keys — your crypto. Protect them like your own eyes.
