🌱 EmojiSeed

Mnemonic phrases. Reinvented with emojis.

Overview

EmojiSeed redefines Bitcoin’s BIP-39 mnemonic system using visual entropy — emojis.
Each BIP-39 word maps to a deterministic emoji pair that maintains semantic meaning while improving memory retention, language neutrality, and human readability.

💡 Concept

EmojiSeed keeps the original 2048-word BIP-39 list but pairs each term with two emojis selected through deterministic rules based on:

• Semantic alignment between word and emoji
• Visual and emotional memorability
• Cultural neutrality
• Reversible mapping integrity

The mapping logic allows encoding or decoding BIP-39 seed phrases visually without altering entropy or recovery compatibility.

⚙️ Installation

npm i -g seedemoji

Once installed globally:

seedemoji <bip39_word>

Example:

seedemoji trust

Output:

🧩 Architecture

• Node.js CLI utility (seedemoji <word>)
• Core data: data/english.txt + data/emoji.txt
• Deterministic mapping algorithm in pure JavaScript
• JSON schema for wallet integrations
• Offline operation (no external API calls)
• Lightweight browser renderer for visual keycards

🔍 Code Review Invitation

EmojiSeed is currently under active discussion in Bitcoin BIPs Pull Request #1999, proposing a visual mnemonic extension compatible with BIP-39.

Developers, wallet engineers, and cryptographers are invited to review and comment on:

• Deterministic consistency of emoji mapping
• Reversibility and collision checks
• Linguistic or cultural edge cases
• Hardware and software wallet integration

🧠 Example Workflow

# Install globally

🌍 Mission

EmojiSeed aims to make Bitcoin mnemonic recovery intuitive, multilingual, and visual while keeping the cryptography untouched. Mnemonic security should be human-readable and universal.
