The recovery phrase entails complete ownership of the cryptocurrency. If your Keystone is lost or stolen, the recovery phrase is the only way to retrieve your assets. Please make sure you have physically backed up your recovery phrase instead of saving it as a photo or other format on any device which may connect to the internet. Air-gapped mobile phones, laptops, and USB sticks have , so we advise against using them.
