READ THIS IF YOU USE A COLDCARD HARDWARE WALLET

This is a critically important security advisory for all users of the ColdCard hardware wallet. If you aren’t sure if your hardware wallet is a ColdCard, we have included pictures of them in this blog post.

How to Back Up and Recover a Bitcoin Wallet Without a Seed Phrase

RecoverBull is an open-source Bitcoin wallet backup protocol built by Bull Bitcoin that allows anyone to recover a self-custodial wallet without a written seed phrase. It works by splitting the backup into three separate components stored in three different locations, so that no single breach, device loss, or server compromise can expose your funds. If you lose your phone, you can fully recover your wallet in under two minutes.
