Malairte Security: A Beginner's Guide

Your seed phrase (also called a recovery phrase). It is the list of words your wallet generates when you set it up, and it is the master key to your Malairte. Anyone who gets it can take your coins, and if you lose it nobody can restore your funds. Write it on paper, keep it offline in a safe place, never photograph it or store it in the cloud, and never enter it into any website. Protect the seed phrase and you protect everything.

Your seed phrase, also called your recovery phrase. It is the master key that can rebuild your entire Malairte wallet on any device, so anyone who obtains it can take all of your coins. It outranks your wallet password and even your individual private keys, because it can regenerate everything. Keep it offline, written on paper or metal, never photographed and never typed into any website or app that did not generate it. Your public address, by contrast, is not a secret and is safe to share when receiving coins. If you protect just one thing perfectly, make it the seed phrase.

No. A seed phrase stored on a phone, in a notes app, in cloud storage, in email, or in a screenshot is exposed to anything that can reach that device or account. Phones get lost, accounts get breached, and synced photos travel further than you expect. The safest place for a seed phrase is offline and physical: clearly written on paper or stamped into metal, kept somewhere secure. Make at least two copies in separate locations to guard against fire or loss. Keeping the phrase off the internet is the single habit that prevents the most common form of permanent crypto loss.
