• Displayed in hidden state by default
• Click the "Show" button to display the 24 words
• When displayed on screen, make sure no one else is around

2. Passphrase

• Displayed in hidden state by default
• Click the "Show" button to display the actual passphrase

3. Public Address (Bitcoin Address)

• Public address is displayed by default
• Example: Address starting with bc1q

QR Code

• QR code is automatically generated and displayed below the address
• Provided for convenience as exchange apps support QR codes

• Click the "Copy" button to copy the address to clipboard
• Can be easily pasted in exchanges or other wallets

4. Private Key

Need a Backup?

• You can write down the mnemonic seed and passphrase on paper for storage
• Physical backups are safe from hacking but risk loss or damage
• Instead, copy the wallet file to another location for backup

Keeping encrypted wallet files is the safest method:

✅ Advantages:

• Protected by strong encryption
• Easy to copy and backup in digital form
• Less risk of physical damage

With just the wallet file and password, you can always access your wallet. Managing these two things safely is the most important.

💡 Warning: Never expose your mnemonic, passphrase, or private key to others. The same applies to wallet files and wallet passwords.
