Correct, Tapsigner doesn’t use BIP39 seed phrases, but raw master private key (XPRV), which is a level lower than seed phrase (a seed phrase is an abstraction over XPRV).
You can read more about it directly from the Tapsigner FAQ page: https://tapsigner.com/faq
There was a SeedSigner issue in firmware 0.8.0 that shows the XPUB QR in an unsupported format (See below). Have you updated the firmware version?
Can you check the latest version? Should be fixed now.
Cheers for the informative report and website 💐

Special report from our new project (zone21.com).
Bitcoin-Backed Lending 2025—Decoding Cost, Control & Hidden Risk.
We size the US $14 B market, compare CeFi vs CeDeFi vs True DeFi, and rate existing lenders with our 13-Factor Risk Model. The report also covers new rules from the GENIUS Act to Hong Kong’s VASP regime and offers a one-page borrower checklist.

Taproot fee selection: what’s that about?
Taproot lets one wallet hide many spend paths.
Different path → different weight on-chain → different fee required.
So we added two ways to handle it:
• Manual: see every path and its fee. Tap the one you want.
•Automatic: if cheap-vs-costly is ≤ 10 % or $0.20, we default to the pricier path. Tweak the thresholds or turn them off any time.
As Bitcoin smart contracts get more complex and the subsidy era fades, fee variability will keep growing, both within a single path and across multiple paths, even before you factor in fee-bumping tools like RBF or CPFP.
We’re building a solution that’s easy to use and puts you in control.
Got feedback? Let us know!


We don’t have for support Lightning yet. Onchain only atm.
Got it, thanks for the clarification.
Yes, for cold storage you might not want to only use Tapsigners (although, even a Tapsigner-only multisig would still be better than something like Bitkey, which is a closed system). As long as you have at least one hardware in your multisig quorum that has a display and can verify transactions independently, it’s a solid setup.
We also have a Decoy Wallet feature that gives you plausible deniability. Check it out here:
We also have a Decoy Wallet feature that’d give you plausible deniability.
You can pair a hardware signing device with Nunchuk that does have a display (like a Coldcard or Blockstream Jade), and verify the details of the transaction before signing. You can also pair multiple hardware with Nunchukm and create a multisig wallet, which offers superior security and robustness compared to a singlesig wallet.
In the above setup, Nunchuk only acts as a watch-only wallet coordinator. So yes, 100% Nunchuk can be used for cold storage. And many of our users have done so.
KYC is a disaster waiting to happen.
If data leaks can happen to Coinbase, it can happen to anyone.
Related: never use a Bitcoin inheritance service that requires KYC.
You’re not just endangering yourself — you’re putting your family at risk too.
They’re even less equipped than you to defend against attackers.
Nunchuk’s inheritance protocol is non-KYC. That’s by design.
