Frequently Asked Questions

What is BIP39?
BIP39 is a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal that defines a standard for generating mnemonic seed phrases from a wordlist of 2048 English words. Most hardware and software wallets use BIP39 seed phrases.
Why only 12 or 24 words?
12 words encode 128 bits of entropy plus 4 checksum bits. 24 words encode 256 bits plus 8 checksum bits. Both are standard BIP39 lengths.
Can I use this tool to recover my wallet?
This tool only checks whether individual words appear in the BIP39 wordlist. Full wallet recovery also requires checksum validation and is typically done directly in your wallet software.
Is it safe to enter words here?
Never enter your real seed phrase on any website, including this one. Use this tool only with test or dummy phrases.
