Compact Punchplates for English BIP39 recovery phrases

Compact records each recovery word as its one-based English BIP39 word-list number (1–2048). It uses less physical space than Standard, but recovery requires the correct word list and careful quadrant reading.

Video summary and written alternative

The demonstration shows how a supplied example is transferred to the Compact numeric grid. Compact records one-based English BIP39 word numbers (1–2048), with each digit placed in its indicated quadrant. On the physical plate, use permanent marker to lay out and re-check every intended position before punching.

The Compact numeric format

Compact records Punchplate’s one-based English BIP39 word number (1–2048), not the specification’s internal 0–2047 index. A completed Compact contains the full recovery phrase. Its smaller size may make it easier to conceal, but also easier to remove or misplace. Check every number and quadrant, then perform a recovery check before relying on it.

1 · Top1Digit 1
