Seed Phrase / Recovery Phrase
Wallets● Common
A sequence of 12 or 24 words from a standardized 2048-word list (BIP-39) that encodes the master seed for an HD wallet. Can regenerate all private keys and addresses. Must be stored securely offline; compromise means total loss of funds.
Technical Notes
BIP-39: words encode 128-256 bits of entropy + checksum. Seed = PBKDF2(mnemonic, 'mnemonic' + passphrase, 2048 rounds). Optional passphrase creates hidden wallets. Metal backup plates recommended for durability. Never store digitally or photograph.
