# Best practices in keeping your cards secure

Seedphrases are the biggest pain point for self-custody crypto solutions as they pose the risk of having a single point of failure in the overall security framework. Seed phrases are traditionally secured on either paper or metal sheets and can be susceptible to damage or other risks such as spillage over the page, loss, and easily readable plain text for attackers to drain out your funds. Similarly, digital storage solutions like Google drive and screenshots on PC/Smartphones are susceptible to backup devices getting corrupted, lost, stolen, and hacked.
