Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need the Mnemonic Box S1? According to the "2024 Q2 MistTrack Stolen Funds Analysis" report by the well-known security company SlowMist, private key leaks were the primary cause of theft incidents in the second quarter of 2024. The key factors leading to private key leaks include users failing to back up mnemonic phrases offline or downloading fake wallets. For this reason, we strongly recommend using the  imKey HeirBOX S1.

The  imKey HeirBOX S1 is precisely manufactured from 304 stainless steel, making it a much safer option for offline mnemonic phrase storage compared to paper backups. It not only protects digital assets from online hacking attempts but also offers robust resistance against various forms of physical damage, including fire, water, corrosion, and impact from falls.

Compared to similar products, the M imKey HeirBOX S1 offers enhanced security features, such as letter blocks with a thickness of 1mm and the use of five screws to secure the cover and box. For greater asset security, you need the  imKey HeirBOX S1.

Why Do I Only Need to Record the First 4 Letters of Each Mnemonic Word? Is That Safe? According to the rules defined by BIP39, you only need to record the first 4 letters of each word in the mnemonic phrase to accurately derive the full mnemonic. For example, if your mnemonic phrase is "desert shift awesome," you only need to record "dese shif awes" in the Mnemonic Box. Additionally, when using the mnemonic phrase to recover a wallet on imKey, entering the first 4 letters will generate the unique word for each part of the phrase. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the  imKey HeirBOX S1 not being able to store the complete mnemonic phrase.

To ensure the safety of your assets, we recommend using the stainless steel HeirBOX S1 for offline backup of your mnemonic phrase. Its water, fire, and corrosion resistance provides reliable protection for your mnemonic phrase.
