# Locating Your Seed

> **Like all other crypto wallets, your seed phrase should be stored securely and offline. If you lose your seed phrase then you also permanently lose your wallet and there is nothing anyone can do to recover it. The seed phrase itself is the only recovery method.**

### Prerequisite
