⚠️ Security information

• The secret phrase or private key derived from it provide complete control over the account, including the ability to dispose of funds. Do not give your secret phrase or private key to anyone, and do not publish or send them.

• The secret phrase cannot be changed: another secret phrase (even one that differs by a single character) will generate a different key pair, and therefore a different account.

• If you lose your secret phrase and private key, you cannot restore access to your account. We strongly encourage you to write down the secret phrase on a piece of paper and store it in a safe place.
