**The power of mnemonic seed phrases**

Our mnemonic seed phrase can consisting of 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words.

For example, a 12-word seed phrase has 128 bits of entropy, which is considered the minimum level of security for Bitcoin and also for most Shitcoins. However, a 24-word seed phrase has 256 bits of entropy, which is much more secure.

Entropy refers to the measure of randomness or unpredictability in a cryptographic key or seed phrase. The higher the entropy, the more difficult it is for an attacker to guess or brute-force the key or seed phrase.

For a real-world example, let's say you're using a 128-bit encryption key. This means that there are 2^128 possible combinations for the key, making it extremely difficult for an attacker to crack. However, if you were to use a 256-bit encryption key, there would be 2^256 possible combinations, making it exponentially more secure than the 128-bit key."

2^256 is an extremely large number, and it's difficult to relate it to the physical world. One analogy that can help give a sense of the scale of this number is to compare it to the number of atoms in the observable universe.

It's estimated that there are between 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the observable universe. This is a very large number, but it's still many orders of magnitude smaller than 2^256. In fact, 2^256 is approximately 10^77 times larger than the highest estimate for the number of atoms in the observable universe.

Your crypto wallet secured with a 256-bit encryption key is virtually impossible to crack or guess. To put it into perspective once again, if every person on Earth owned a billion wallets with 256-bit keys, and each wallet contained a billion different universes, the chances of guessing the key to just one of those wallets would still be astronomically small. With such a high level of security, you can have peace of mind knowing that your digital assets are safe and secure.
