BIP-39 Seed Phrase Combinations vs. Natural Quantities

Introduction

The BIP-39 standard uses a 2,048-word list to create seed phrases for cryptocurrency wallets, typically 12 or 24 words long. These generate vast numbers of combinations, which can be compared to natural quantities like the number of sand particles on Earth or stars in the observable universe. This page visualizes those comparisons.
