What is a Seed Phrase?

Modified on Thu, 29 Jan at 4:09 PM

A seed phrase (also known as a recovery phrase or mnemonic phrase) is a sequence of 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 English words. It acts as the "master key" to your digital assets.

  • How it works: ELLIPAL generates these words offline to represent your private keys. It is the only way to recover your assets if your device is lost or broken.

  • The Ultimate Risk: Anyone who has these words can steal your funds without needing your physical ELLIPAL device.

  • Safety Rule: Never store it digitally, never share it, and only enter it directly into your cold wallet hardware.
