- BIP39 is the protocol to generate mnemonic sentence (e.g seed phrase in metamask)
- Under the hood, from that seed phrase will generate a key wallet, if you want to generate the following keys, you will be input from seed phrases + (key1+key2) (for example with metamask I can generate many key wallets, later on When you re-import the seed phrases on another device, those keys will also be re-generate from the seed phrases without having to remember them)
- Bip39's dictionary bank has 2048 words
- Entropy of 1 metamask with 12 phrases is 128 -> There are 2^128 possible phrases. If we brute force 1 seed / 1 microsecond it will also take 1.07 * 10^23 years
