A recovery seed, also known as a seed phrase or mnemonic phrase, is a crucial component used to restore access to a cryptocurrency wallet in case of loss, damage, or theft of the original wallet.

It consists of a sequence of words, usually 12 to 24 in length, generated by the wallet during its setup process.

These words form a unique and secure backup that enables users to recover their cryptocurrency funds if their wallet is lost, their device malfunctions, or they need to access their wallet from another device.

The recovery seed acts as a master key to regenerate the private keys associated with a crypto wallet.
Keeping the recovery seed secure and confidential is imperative, as anyone possessing it can access the funds in the wallet.

Users are advised to store this seed phrase offline, such as on paper or a hardware wallet, and avoid digital storage or sharing it online to prevent unauthorized access and theft of funds.
