Tinyseed is a solid titanium backup solution for protecting your wallet's seed phrase or Shamir's secret shares. It safeguards Bitcoin, Ethereum, and NFTs from catastrophic events including fire, water damage, and hardware wallet failure.

Description

Tinyseed is a solid titanium seed phrase backup solution designed for maximum durability in an exceptionally compact form factor. Its tiny size makes it easy to hide while providing robust protection for your crypto recovery phrase.

Built Different: Titanium Construction

  • Pure Titanium — Made from solid titanium with a melting point above 1660°C, offering extreme corrosion and stress resistance.

  • Top Score in Durability Tests — Independently verified, achieving top marks in Jameson Lopp's seed storage benchmark test.

Guided Punching System

Each cell on the plate features a micro guide hole in its center to perfectly align the center punch before imprinting — a Tinyseed proprietary invention that makes punching accurate and frustration-free.
