The Seed Phrase is The Beginning and The End

Losing your blockchain wallet's seed phrase is irreversible and can result in the permanent loss of your investments. The blockchain's decentralized and secure nature means that there's no central authority or password recovery mechanism. Without the seed phrase, you lose access to your private keys, making it impossible to retrieve or recover your digital assets, emphasizing the critical importance of securely storing this key information.

In 2021, a user on the Polygon blockchain lost over $600,000 worth of MATIC tokens after losing their seed phrase. The tokens were stored in a MetaMask wallet, which requires a seed phrase for access.

In 2020, a man named Michael Stay lost access to his Ethereum wallet after he accidentally deleted the email that contained his seed phrase. He had stored the seed phrase on his email, which he had assumed was backed up. As a result, he lost over $300,000 worth of Ethereum.

No Cover Plates for Superior, Cost-Effective Design

We do not manufacture cover plates, as they are a poor design that drives up the cost. Each wallet has a logo side and a data side, and single wallets come with an envelope to cover the data side for added privacy. For extra protection, simply purchase two or more wallets. Screws and washers are included to securely bind multiple steel wallets together.

Punching Seed, Stamp Seed & Chicklets

Etching Versus

When it comes to backing up crypto seed phrases for cryptocurrency wallets, both etching and punch sets can be effective methods.

However, there are advantages when etching versus using a punch set, stamp seeds or chicklets.

  • One wrong punch and your seed phrase wallet is ruined. Etching is more precise as the custom designed Black Seed Ink scribe is typically finer and more controllable than a punch set. Use a pencil to write your words, then etch deep to carve your seed phrase precisely.

  • No need to alert the neighbors that you're invested in crypto. Etching allows you to quietly backup your seed phrase in the comfort and quiet of your own home and away from prying eyes.

  • During an intense house fire, things come crashing down. This is demonstrated in the Jameson Lopp's Seed Stress Test using a 20 ton hydrolic press to crush wallets. Chicklet wallets buckle, the seed phrase spill out and data is forever lost. Crushing doesn't impact etched plates.

  • The elegance of Black Seed Ink's steel plates is unmatched. Punch sets and the brute impact of a hammer can often warp even thick steel plates. After etching the seed phrase into your quality Black Seed Ink steel wallet, simply polish away fingerprints using the included microfiber cloth and place this valuable solution in a secret hiding place or home safe.

What is a seed phrase, and how does it work?

Seed Phrase 101
  • The seed phrase is a fundamental element in the creation and security of cryptocurrency wallets. It is used to derive a hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet, which generates a series of public and private key pairs. These keys are linked to cryptocurrency addresses on the blockchain.
  • When you initiate a cryptocurrency transaction from your wallet, your wallet software uses your private key (derived from the seed phrase) to sign the transaction. This cryptographic signature is essential for verifying that you are the rightful owner of the funds associated with that wallet address. The transaction, including the sender's address and the recipient's address, is then broadcast to the blockchain network for validation and inclusion in the blockchain ledger.
  • The seed phrase serves as the root from which your wallet generates private keys, and these private keys are used to sign and authorize cryptocurrency transactions. If you lose your seed phrase, you lose access to the private keys, making it impossible to sign transactions and access your funds on the blockchain. Therefore, securely storing your seed phrase is critical for maintaining control over your cryptocurrency holdings and conducting transactions on the blockchain securely.

Seed Phrase ~ Private Key ~ Public Key

In the process of generating cryptocurrency addresses and conducting transactions, there are two types of keys involved: the public key and the private key.

  1. Private Key: The private key is derived from your seed phrase and is a closely guarded secret. It is used to sign cryptocurrency transactions securely. Without the private key, you cannot access or spend the funds associated with a specific address.
  2. Public Key: The public key is indeed a part of the process, but it is often derived from the private key. The public key is associated with a cryptocurrency address. It's used to create a digital signature when you make a transaction. However, in many blockchain systems, the public key is not explicitly included in the transaction data to enhance privacy and security.

Detailed breakdown:

  • Your seed phrase generates a master private key.
  • From the master private key, a hierarchy of derived private keys is created for various cryptocurrency addresses.
  • Each derived private key corresponds to a derived public key and its associated cryptocurrency address.
  • When you initiate a transaction, your wallet software uses the private key (derived from the seed phrase) to sign the transaction.
  • The public key is used within this signing process but is not typically broadcast to the blockchain network as part of the transaction data.

So, while the public key is an essential component in the process, it is often managed internally by the wallet software and may not be explicitly included in the transaction data for privacy and security reasons.
