What is BIP39?
BIP39 is a standard for generating human-readable backups of cryptocurrency private keys. A 12-word phrase represents 128 bits of entropy; a 24-word phrase represents 256 bits. Words are picked from a fixed 2048-word wordlist, with the last word encoding a checksum. Phrases are derived from cryptographically random bits using the Web Crypto API.
BIP39 details
- 12 words — 128 bits of entropy, the most common choice.
- 24 words — 256 bits of entropy, used for high-value cold storage.
- The last word always encodes a checksum derived from the rest.
Security
Treat the phrase like cash. Anyone who reads it can spend the funds. Write it down on paper and store it offline.
