Glossary/Seed Phrase

Seed Phrase

A human-readable list of words (usually 12 or 24) that encodes a wallet's private keys. Anyone with the seed phrase can control the funds, so it must be kept secret and offline.

The seed phrase is the master backup for every account a wallet creates. Write it on paper or steel, never photograph or cloud-sync it, and treat anyone who asks for it as a scammer.
