🧠 How to Properly Store Your Seed Phrase

The security of your Seed Phrase is the foundation of protecting your cryptocurrency.

Losing or leaking this phrase means losing access to all your funds forever.

No company, wallet, or developer can recover your assets if your Seed Phrase is lost.

Therefore, it’s not enough to just write it down — you must organize safe and durable storage, resistant to hacking, fire, water, and time.

🔒 1. Core Security Rules

1. Never store your Seed Phrase digitally, especially online.

   Avoid:

   • taking photos of the phrase;
   • saving screenshots on your phone or computer;
   • uploading to cloud services (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc.);
   • sending it via email or messengers.

   Anything connected to the internet can be hacked.

2. Write the Seed Phrase down by hand.

   Use paper, metal, or a dedicated backup device. A handwritten version is much safer than any digital copy.

3. Keep multiple copies in different locations.

   Create 2–3 backups and store them separately, for example:

   • in a home safe;
   • in a bank deposit box;
   • with a trusted person (only if they understand the sensitivity of this information).

4. Never share your Seed Phrase with anyone.

   Even if someone claims to be “support staff” or a “wallet representative” — it’s a scam.

   No legitimate service will ever ask for your Seed Phrase.

🧱 2. Best Storage Methods

✅ Metal Backup (Steel or Titanium Plates)

Your Seed Phrase is engraved or stamped into a metal plate resistant to:
