What is a bip-39 seed phrase?
A BIP-39 seed phrase is a list of words that encodes a private key - a self-custodial account you control, with no phone number or email involved.
Instead of a username and password on a server, a seed phrase deterministically generates your keypair on your own device. Whoever holds the phrase controls the account; nobody else ever has it.
PrivaMesh accounts are BIP-39 seed phrases mapping to a self-custodial Solana keypair, stored in the iOS Keychain. This is what makes it an encrypted messenger with no phone number - the account is math you generate, not an identity you hand over. The responsibility: write your seed down and keep it safe, because there is no password reset.
