Interactive demos

You don't need any of this to hold Bitcoin safely. But if you've read how it all works and want to see the machinery — not just read about it — here are 11 demonstrations of what is really happening under the hood. Nothing is saved and nothing is scored: every one runs in your browser, on a seed it invents and forgets.

🛑 Demonstrations only — never your real seed

Every tool here generates a throwaway seed in your browser and forgets it when you leave. None of them will ever let you type your own seed words — that's the point. A site that asks for your seed is a site trying to rob you.

Why a key can't be guessed

Make 2²⁵⁶ concrete — every atom in the Earth computing since the Big Bang barely reaches a coin-flip for one key.

Signing — prove it, without showing the key

Sign a payment, watch anyone verify it came from your key — then try to tamper with the payment and watch the signature break.

One key, four address formats

Why addresses start with 1, 3, bc1q, or bc1p — all four come out of the same seed, and they're all your Bitcoin.

One seed, endless addresses

How one seed grows a whole tree of addresses — and how an xpub lets someone watch a wallet without ever being able to spend.

Multisig — why 2-of-3 works

Three keys, one wallet, any two to spend. Tap the keys and watch the threshold rule enforce itself — no single point of failure.

The passphrase (25th word)

Same seed, add a passphrase, land in a completely different wallet. See the decoy-vs-hidden idea for yourself.

BIP-85 — one seed, many seeds

How one master seed derives an endless supply of fresh, independent child seeds — back up one, re-derive the rest.

Split a secret into shares

The Shamir math behind SLIP-39: cut a backup into five pieces where any three rebuild it and any two reveal nothing.

Watch a seed get born

Generate a throwaway seed and follow it from 128 random bits — with the real SHA-256 checksum — to twelve words to a Bitcoin address.

Roll your own randomness

Don't trust the device's RNG? Roll a die ~50 times and hash it into a seed that's provably random by your own hand.

How a typo gets caught

Change one word in a throwaway seed and watch the built-in checksum catch it — and meet the rare wrong word that slips through unannounced.

Each one runs entirely in your browser. More may follow.
