Mnemonic Recovery

Definition

Mnemonic Recovery is a method used to restore access to a cryptocurrency wallet or digital asset funds using a sequence of words, known as a seed phrase. This phrase serves as a human-readable backup of the private keys associated with the wallet. If a device is lost or compromised, entering the correct mnemonic phrase into a compatible wallet allows the user to regain control of their assets. It is a critical security feature for self-custody.
