Work through the essentials
Use these checks alongside your own device, network, and transaction context. This guidance does not perform wallet operations.
Record offline
Use physical or other appropriately offline storage rather than screenshots, cloud notes, or chat apps.
Verify every word
Both the words and their exact order are essential for recovery.
Store thoughtfully
Avoid a single place where all recovery materials could be stolen or damaged together.
Review legibility
Check that your backup remains readable, without testing it on unfamiliar websites.
