Wallet — Seed Ceremony

Backing up 24 words is a ceremony, not a checkbox: a masked reveal behind a held press, a forced transcription pause, a quiz against the paper copy, and a sealed finale. Every state below is a full app frame with forced props.

Step 1 — Reveal

The grid arrives masked. Revealing costs a deliberate hold; the camera warning sits above the fold.

Masked

Your recovery phrase

These 24 words are the wallet. The passcode, this device, even ColdHarbor itself can all be replaced — the words cannot.

Anyone holding these 24 words holds your coins. Write them on paper, in order. No screenshots, no cloud notes, no photos — cameras remember.

Hold to reveal

SeedWordGrid state=hidden + HoldToConfirm idle.

Step 2 — Transcribe

Words revealed; the acknowledgement is a press-and-hold two-thirds through its aurum fill.

Holding — 66%

Write them down, in order

Number each word. When the last one is on paper, hold the button — the ceremony does not accept a quick tap.

Step 3 — Verify

Four slots emptied, six chips offered (four correct, two decoys from the same wordlist). The error frame shows a wrong chip placed in slot 11.

Danger shake on the quiz slots, chip stays spent until corrected.

Sealed

Verification passed: success badge, the typed oath at full match, and the ceremony button in its confirmed state.

The ceremony is sealed

Your written copy matched. Store it somewhere fire, flood, and curiosity cannot reach — then type the oath to close.

Backup verified

TypedConfirmation state=match + HoldToConfirm state=confirmed.
