Yours to take anywhere
Type the phrase into any wallet that speaks the standard and you'll find the same account. Nothing about it is ours, which means nothing about it can be held hostage.
Wallet
Keys that are actually yours.
Twenty-four words, written on paper, that will open your wallet in any other wallet on earth. We don't hold them, we can't recover them, and we can't freeze anything. That's the whole point — and it's also the risk, so the app says it out loud the first time you see those words.
Coming with the iPhone app, and not connected to any network yet. The wallet makes and keeps keys today. It cannot show a balance or send anything, because there's nothing behind it doing that — and a screen showing you "0.00" would be claiming a connection we haven't built. It isn't on Android at all yet either.
Your recovery phrase
The standard one, on purpose.
Plenty of apps invent their own backup so that leaving is difficult. Ours is the ordinary twenty-four-word phrase every other wallet understands, checked against the published test values on both platforms — so it restores somewhere else, exactly as written, the day you want it to.
Bring one you already have
Already got a wallet somewhere else? Type its phrase in. If a word is mistyped we tell you which, rather than accepting it and leaving you staring at an empty account wondering what happened.
Honestly: don't lose it
Nobody can reset this for you. Not us, not support, not a court order. That's what self-custody means, and we'd rather you hear it from us on a quiet afternoon than work it out the hard way.
Addresses
A new one every time.
Public ledgers are public. Reuse one address and anyone curious can line up everything you've ever been paid and call it a history. So the wallet hands you a fresh address for each thing you receive, and treats that as the ordinary way round rather than an option buried in a settings screen.
The older ones keep working. They all come from the same phrase, so a new address costs you nothing extra to write down — which is the only reason it's practical to do this properly.
And the part worth being precise about: your addresses have nothing to do with your Flamenet account. They're built from their own random secret, not from your username or your passphrase, so no one can work out your addresses from knowing who you are, or work out who you are from an address. We wrote a test that fails if anybody ever wires the two together.
