First, I should outline the structure. The user wants H2s, lists, and a FAQ. So maybe start with an introduction explaining why avoiding KYC is important for privacy. Then, under H2 headings, list different methods. Each method can be an H2 with a brief explanation and steps. Lists can be used within each method to outline steps or tools needed. The FAQ should address common questions related to the topic.
Wait, the user mentioned “store seed phrase without KYC tutorial”. So the methods should be tutorials, step-by-step guides. Need to make sure each method is actionable. Also, the tools or services mentioned shouldn’t require KYC. For example, hardware wallets, paper storage, encrypted digital storage, etc.
I need to check if all the methods I include are truly without KYC. For example, some hardware wallets might require personal info when purchasing. Maybe suggest buying from resellers or in-person stores to avoid KYC. Also, digital methods like encrypted USB drives or using open-source software.
Possible H2s:
1. Why Avoid KYC for Seed Phrase Storage?
2. Method 1: Physical Storage Solutions
3. Method 2: Encrypted Digital Storage
4. Method 3: Shamir’s Secret Sharing
5. Method 4: Decentralized Storage Platforms
6. FAQ
Under each method, explain the steps. For example, physical storage could be paper/metal, split into parts, secure location. Encrypted digital might involve VeraCrypt, offline devices. Shamir’s Secret Sharing is a cryptographic method. Decentralized storage like IPFS or blockchain-based solutions that don’t require KYC.
In the FAQ, answer questions like risks of KYC, alternatives to KYC methods, recovering seed phrases without KYC, legal aspects, etc.
Need to ensure the content is original, not copied. Also, use keywords naturally. Avoid promoting any specific brands unless necessary, but mention examples where relevant. Make sure the tone is informative and helpful, emphasizing security and privacy.
Check for any potential issues, like advising against KYC might have legal implications in some regions. But the article is a tutorial, so it’s informational. Should include a disclaimer that it’s for educational purposes.
Now, structure the article with introduction, H2 sections, lists under each method, and FAQ. Keep paragraphs concise for SEO. Use bullet points for steps or features. Ensure the keyword is included in the title and headings where appropriate.
Possible title: “How to Store Your Seed Phrase Without KYC: Secure & Private Methods (2023 Tutorial)”
Wait, the user didn’t specify the title, but the JSON requires a title. So I need to come up with a compelling SEO title. Maybe “Store Seed Phrase Without KYC: Step-by-Step Security Tutorial (2023)”.
Then, the content starts with an intro about seed phrases and KYC risks. Then each method as H2. Each method has steps in a list. FAQ at the end.
Need to make sure the word count is around 900. Each section should be detailed but not too lengthy. Use keywords like “store seed phrase without KYC”, “non-KYC methods”, “privacy-focused storage”, etc.
Check for any missing methods. Maybe mention mnemonic devices or brain wallets, but those are risky. Better stick to secure methods. Also, avoid mentioning anything that could compromise security, like online storage without encryption.
Finally, review for clarity, SEO best practices, and ensure all points are covered without fluff. Make sure the JSON output is strict with only title and content, no markdown.

Why Avoid KYC for Seed Phrase Storage?
Storing your seed phrase without KYC (Know Your Customer) verification ensures maximum privacy and reduces risks tied to centralized platforms. KYC processes often require sharing personal data, which can be hacked, leaked, or misused. By avoiding KYC, you retain full control over your cryptographic keys and eliminate third-party vulnerabilities.
Method 1: Physical Storage Solutions
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Use Fireproof/Waterproof Materials: Engrave your seed phrase on stainless steel plates or use specialized crypto steel wallets.
- Split the Phrase: Divide the 12/24-word phrase into 2-3 parts. Store each in separate secure locations (e.g., home safe, safety deposit box).
- Avoid Digital Traces: Never photograph or type the phrase on internet-connected devices.
Method 2: Encrypted Digital Storage
Tools Needed:
- VeraCrypt (open-source encryption software)
- Offline device (e.g., old smartphone or air-gapped computer)
Steps:
- Create an encrypted container using VeraCrypt on an offline device.
- Store the seed phrase as a text file inside the container.
- Transfer the container to a USB drive and physically secure it.
Method 3: Shamir’s Secret Sharing (SSS)
This cryptographic method splits your seed phrase into multiple “shares” that require a threshold number to reconstruct. Use tools like Ian Coleman’s Shamir39 offline:
- Generate shares offline.
- Distribute shares to trusted parties or locations.
- Ensure no single share reveals the full phrase.
Method 4: Decentralized Storage Platforms
Platforms like IPFS or Arweave allow permissionless, encrypted storage:
- Encrypt your seed phrase using GPG or AES-256.
- Upload the encrypted file to a decentralized network.
- Store decryption keys separately via physical methods.
FAQ: Storing Seed Phrases Without KYC
Q: Is it legal to avoid KYC for seed phrase storage?
A: Yes. Seed phrases are personal property, and non-custodial storage doesn’t involve regulated entities.
Q: Can I recover a seed phrase without KYC?
A: Only if you’ve backed it up yourself. Third-party recovery services often require KYC.
Q: What’s the biggest risk of non-KYC storage?
A: Losing access to backups. Use redundant methods like SSS or multi-location storage.
Q: Are hardware wallets KYC-free?
A: Yes, if purchased anonymously (e.g., cash, in-store) or from resellers.
