Your backup deserves a plan
What a recovery phrase controls, where not to store it, and how to build a backup you can actually recover.

The idea,
in words.
A route back to your keys
In a typical self-custody wallet, the recovery phrase can recreate your keys. Anyone who obtains it may gain control of your assets.
Keep it offline
Store the backup offline and protect it from theft, fire and water. Choose storage you can find and understand later.
Do not make extra copies online
Avoid photographs, cloud notes and support chats for a recovery phrase. More convenient copies can create more ways to lose control.
Use a trusted process
Follow the wallet maker’s official backup-check process on a trusted device. Never test a phrase on a website sent by a stranger.
