How to Back Up a Seed Phrase and Private Keys for Tezos-Compatible Wallets
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a new wallet using popular Tezos-compatible wallets like Temple and Kukai. We walk through where to find your private keys and seed phrases, how to securely back them up offline, and how to restore your wallet if you ever lose access to your device.
Protecting your seed phrase is critical — anyone who has it can access your wallet, and losing it means permanently losing access to your funds. This video will guide you through best practices to keep your keys safe and your tokens secure.
