Your Seed Phrase is the master key to your wallet forever.
- Anyone who possesses it has complete control over your assets.
- It is permanent, immutable, and cannot be changed or revoked.
- If you import your Seed Phrase into another wallet, that wallet now has the same level of access as XColdPro.
🔴 Critical Advisory:
If your Seed Phrase was generated inside XColdPro, the internet has never seen it. This ensures maximum security.
- However, if you re-import that phrase into a Hot Wallet (e.g., MetaMask), you are voluntarily placing it into an online environment — permanently weakening its security profile.
Best Practices & Recommendations
✅ Do:
- Use XColdPro as the primary environment for any wallets you wish to keep offline.
- Delete external copies of wallets if the intent is true cold storage.
- Treat your Seed Phrase as a permanent, irreplaceable secret.
❌ Do Not:
- Assume importing into XColdPro automatically moves a wallet into cold storage.
- Keep wallets simultaneously active in both XColdPro and hot wallets if maximum security is desired.
- Expose an XColdPro-generated wallet to internet-connected applications unless absolutely required.
Final Note
Import/export functionality is a powerful tool, but must be used with full awareness of the risks.
Cold storage is only achieved when wallets and their seed phrases remain exclusively within XColdPro and are not duplicated into internet-connected environments.
In summary:
- Importing = additional access point
- Exporting = security downgrade
- Deletion of online copies is mandatory for true cold storage
