Seed16 and the 16-Sided Key Ceremony

An open-source offline tool turns rolls of a physical 16-sided die into a BIP-39 recovery phrase.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The workflow uses a physical d16 as the entropy source, with each entered result represented as one hexadecimal digit. Seed16 supports 32 rolls for a 12-word phrase and 64 for a 24-word phrase, then adds the standard BIP-39 checksum without treating it as extra randomness. The page also distinguishes restoring an externally generated phrase from creating a new wallet, and links both a Windows release and an MIT-licensed GitHub source repository.
