Paper burns, and anything that’s connected to the internet gets hacked, so what do you do with your recovery phrase? You need a backup solution that’s strong as steel, impenetrable – like Shift Crypto’s SteelWallet!
According to Kaspersky (yep, the guys who know a thing or two about security), "the seed phrase for your crypto wallet must be guarded with your life."
Now, I'm not suggesting you go all Bulletproof Monk to keep your seed phrase safe - that may be overdoing it a bit, plus seems like a lot of work! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, google: "Tibetan monk movie with that guy from American pie." That's how I found the title because I forgot what this 2000s masterpiece is called.)
Anyway, back to your seed phrase and how to keep it safe without putting your life on the line - it's simple, all you need is some steel plates and an engraving kit.
The Crypto Merchant, an authorized retailer of leading brands such as Trezor and Ledger, has a whole collection of seed phrase backup kits to choose from. For example, the SteelWallet backup tool - made by Shift Crypto - is one of the leading products on the market, super easy to use, and super safe.

The BitBox SteelWallet can store recovery seed phrases of up to 24 words. Made with stainless steel, the backup tool is waterproof, fire- and corrosion-resistant. No need to risk your life - the SteelWallet is apocalypse-proof!
And you do want to store your seed phrase in a safe place because phishing scams are a dime a dozen and lately seed phrases have become a sought-after prize. As tempting as it is to solve everything with an app in this digital age, you might wanna reconsider it.
Apps can be hacked.
But steel plates... steel plates are safe as houses when it comes to cyber threats.
A low-tech security solution for sure, but it works! All you need to do is engrave your recovery phrases on a plate - it's that simple. SteelWallet comes with a stamping kit, two steel plates, and a manual to guide you through the engraving process.
Whether you want to carry the plates with you or hide them in a safe spot, SteelWallet is a great solution - it weighs only 450 g and measures 100x120 mm.
And if the SteelWallet backup kit doesn't quite suit your needs, check out all the other recovery phrase solutions The Crypto Merchant offers - from several models of SecuX XSEED to the king of all backup tools the Cryptotag Zeus.
And since they're the authorized retailer, you know that what you're getting is the real deal - all wallets and security products purchased from The Crypto Merchant are guaranteed 100% authentic and verified secure.
Kaspersky may be taking it a bit too far with the whole "protect your seed phrase with your life" deal but they're not wrong; you do need to keep your seed phrase safe.
Just maybe do the smart thing and get some steel plates, rather than turning your whole life into some crazy action movie in which you're the hero who must sacrifice everything to protect this random series of gibberish. Unless that's your dream... If so, then I fully support you! Go be the Ethan Hunt you were meant to be!
