Seed Phrase Backups

Your recovery seed phrase is the master key to your crypto. If it is lost or destroyed, so are your funds. A steel or titanium seed phrase backup protects those words from fire, water and corrosion far better than paper.

Shop metal backups from Billfodl, Cryptotag, Cryptosteel, BitPlates, Keystone, Trezor and more. Learn where to store them in our guide to the best places to keep your seed phrase.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a metal seed phrase backup?

Your 12 or 24 word recovery phrase is the only way to restore a wallet that is lost or broken. Paper burns, fades and dissolves; stainless steel and titanium survive house fires, flooding and decades in a safe.

Steel tiles or stamped plates?

Tile systems such as Billfodl and Cryptosteel let you slide pre-made letters into a frame with no tools. Stamping kits such as Cryptotag and Stamp Seed punch the letters into titanium for a permanent record. Both work with any BIP39 wallet.

Do I need to record the whole word?

No. The first four letters of each BIP39 word are unique, so backups that hold four letters per word store everything needed to recover.

Can one backup hold a 24 word seed?

Most products here hold 24 words. Check the product page for capacity, and buy two if you want a copy in a second location.
