Backup Guide
Back up before you depend on the wallet.
A recovery phrase is only useful if your storage process is understandable, repeatable and offline enough to resist routine leaks. This guide explains the minimum workable process.
Backup steps
Simple, boring and offline beats clever.
The best backup is one you can actually find and use later without exposing it to apps, cloud sync or screenshots.
- Write the recovery phrase offline in a place you control.
- Store it somewhere stable, dry and physically secure.
- Create a second offline copy only if you can protect it with equal care.
- Verify that you can read it correctly and that the order is exact.
- Do a recovery dry run before you move serious funds into the wallet.
What to avoid
Common backup mistakes.
Most wallet disasters are operational, not cryptographic.
- Do not store the phrase in screenshots or a notes app that syncs by default.
- Do not send the phrase to yourself by email or chat for convenience.
- Do not assume you will remember missing words later.
- Do not wait until after a device problem to test whether your backup makes sense.
