Private Key vs Seed Phrase

A seed phrase (also called a recovery phrase) is usually 12–24 simple words in English, which can be used to restore your entire wallet.

​

A private key, on the other hand, is a long string of characters (like the one you posted) that controls access to a single wallet address.

​

⚠️ Important: You should never share your private key or seed phrase with anyone. Anyone who has them can take full control of your wallet and funds. Please make sure to store them securely and privately.
