Seed & Key Management

UX Principles

  • Onboarding should be seamless; don’t block first use with seed backup.
  • Encourage security without forcing it prematurely.

Guidelines

  1. Allow seed backup after wallet creation or after the first received payment to keep onboarding smooth.
  2. Explain the need to write down and save the seed phrase.
  3. Consider validation (e.g., partial re-entry) to confirm backup.
  4. Enhance key-management UX where possible: encrypted cloud backup, or Web 2 / identity–based approaches that preserve self-custody.
