A few years ago, I facilitated the setup of our first crypto wallet.

Even though this breakthrough and innovative Defi (Decentralized Finance) technology widened and opened so many opportunities, I was perplexed regarding the little piece of paper provided with the unit that was supposed to hold the key to the wallet.

At that moment, I realized how vulnerable the access to these high-tech devices/crypto wallets was since they relied solely on the safekeeping of their seed phrases on paper or miscellaneous metal devices, offline, etc. What if the paper/metal sheets/device get lost or stolen? Or would I entrust a third party to safeguard the keys to my valuables?

After a few hours of reflection, I stayed up late that evening and created a simple grid containing a few hundred words and hid, plainly, the seed phrase within that grid. I was pleased to be able to print a few copies and forward one to my email address without worrying about the vital information being compromised since the odds of cracking the code, if you are oblivious, were in the billions, perhaps even trillions.

Could this be that simple?

After a few days of pondering the idea, it was easily concluded.
