Keep your recovery phrase safe and offline

Your recovery phrase is the only key to your wallet. Here's how to store it so nobody else can use it.

Why it matters

Anyone with your recovery phrase controls your wallet. BTOKEN can't freeze, reverse or recover funds moved with it.

Good habits

Write it on paper or metal and keep it somewhere private. Don't photograph it, save it in notes, email it or store it in the cloud.

Never type it into a website, a form or a chat — including this support site. Our case forms block anything that looks like one.

BTOKEN Support will never ask for your recovery phrase, private key or password. Anyone who does is a scammer. Only share public wallet addresses and transaction IDs.
