Seed Phrase
Còn được gọi là: Recovery Phrase, Mnemonic Phrase, Secret Recovery Phrase, Backup Phrase
A sequence of 12-24 words that serves as the master backup for a cryptocurrency wallet, allowing recovery of all associated funds.
A seed phrase (also called recovery phrase or mnemonic) is a sequence of 12 to 24 words generated when you create a cryptocurrency wallet. This phrase is the master key to your wallet. Anyone with access to these words can control all associated funds.
How Seed Phrases Work:
- Wallet software generates random entropy
- Entropy converts to words using BIP-39 wordlist
- Words derive master private key
- Master key generates all wallet addresses
- Same phrase recreates identical wallet anywhere
BIP-39 Standard: - 2048 possible words in wordlist - 12 words = 128 bits of entropy - 24 words = 256 bits of entropy - Words are not random, they're from specific list - First 4 letters of each word are unique
Example (DO NOT USE): "abandon ability able about above absent absorb abstract absurd abuse access accident"
Critical Security Rules:
| DO | DO NOT |
|---|---|
| Write on paper/metal | Store digitally |
| Store in secure location | Share with anyone |
| Test recovery first | Screenshot |
| Make multiple backups | Email to yourself |
| Keep offline | Store in cloud |
If Someone Gets Your Seed: - They can drain ALL wallets derived from it - No time limit on access - Cannot be revoked - Move funds immediately if compromised
Lost Seed Phrase: - If seed and wallet both lost, funds are gone - No recovery mechanism exists - Estimated 20% of Bitcoin lost to lost keys
Passphrase Option: Some wallets allow a 25th word (passphrase) for additional security. This creates a completely different wallet even with the same seed.
