What is a seed phrase and why is it important?

Updated over a week ago

A seed phrase (also called a mnemonic or recovery phrase) is a series of 12 or 24 words that serve as the master key to your wallet. It is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose your phone or reinstall the app.

Never share your seed phrase with anyone, not even Girin support.

Write it down on paper and store it securely offline.

Do not screenshot or save it digitally, this increases the risk of theft.

If you lose your seed phrase, Girin cannot help you recover your wallet. This is a fundamental feature of self-custody security.
