Seed, Key, Account Management

Seed Phrase

At the core of your wallet’s architecture is the seed phrase - a critical set of words generated by your wallet to secure access to all associated accounts and assets. A seed phrase functions as a master key, allowing you to restore or re-access your wallet on any compatible device. As long as you have your seed phrase, you retain full ownership and control of all tokens and accounts associated with it, even if the wallet app is deleted or lost.

Public Key

The public key is tied to your seed phrase and serves as a foundational element for managing your accounts. Each public key can house one account of each type (e.g., WalletV3, default multisig), and it is an essential identifier within the wallet’s structure.

When creating a Multisig wallet, the public key is used as a custodian address. This means it plays a role in securing transactions by requiring multiple confirmations, adding an additional layer of security.

Each public key is unique to its seed and associated accounts, ensuring that your assets are protected within distinct layers of security.

Account

At the user level, accounts function as the primary tool for storing, sending, and receiving tokens. Each account has a unique address linked to your public key, allowing you to conduct transactions and interact within the network. Key functions include:

  • Sending Tokens: The account address is required for sending tokens to other network members

  • Receiving Tokens: Your account can also receive tokens directly from other users

In TVM networks, every account is implemented as a smart contract, and conversely, every smart contract functions as an account. This design ensures that all accounts, including those used by individual users, operate with the same underlying structure as any other smart contract, providing high flexibility and programmability.
