§ 02 / Rationale
Common failure modes
A recovery phrase is a single point of failure.
Lose the 12 or 24 words that restore your wallet and the funds become unrecoverable — no customer service, no support line, no restoration path. Industry estimates place approximately 20% of all Bitcoin supply as permanently lost, predominantly due to phrase loss.
Activate Card
Scan your card in the Wats Wallet mobile app to activate it and link it to your account.
Human memory
Recovery phrases are 12–24 random words. Memorization is unreliable and non-transferable.
§ 03 / Protocol
Operational procedure
A three-step protocol.
Your recovery phrase never touches the network, never passes through Wats Wallet, never leaves your physical control.
01
Configure order
Select set and card design. No account required. Shipping and billing are collected by the payment processor.
02
Record recovery phrase
Engrave steel with the included carbide stylus, or mark plastic with a permanent marker. Offline workflow only.
03
Distribute and secure
Store cards in geographically separate locations. Loss of any single card does not compromise wallet access.
§ 04 / Materials
Plastic · Steel
Two materials. Distinct use cases.
Both offer the same level of security and technology. The choice is governed by how long the card must survive and how much environmental stress it must withstand.
