Mnemonic to BRC-100
Status: Production Last Updated: October 2025 Contact/Support: GitHub Project | Live App
1. What Is Mnemonic to BRC-100?
Mnemonic to BRC-100 is a utility tool for deriving BRC-100 compatible wallet addresses from mnemonic seed phrases. It supports multiple wallet types including Centbee, Rock Wallet, and Electrum SV, allowing users to recover addresses and manage coins across different wallet implementations using standardized derivation paths.
Key Features:
Multi-Wallet Support - Compatible with Centbee, Rock Wallet, Electrum SV, and common derivation paths
Mnemonic Recovery - Derive addresses from 12 or 24-word seed phrases
Adjustable Gap/Offset - Find unused addresses with configurable gap limits
PIN Support - Optional PIN/passphrase for additional security
Address Generation - Generate multiple addresses from a single mnemonic
UTXO Management - View and manage unspent transaction outputs
Browser-Based - Runs entirely in your browser for privacy
Target Users: Cryptocurrency users recovering wallet access, developers working with HD wallets, anyone needing to derive addresses from mnemonics across different wallet implementations.
2. Before You Begin
Prerequisites
Mnemonic Phrase: 12 or 24-word seed phrase from your wallet
Web Browser: Modern browser with JavaScript enabled (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
Wallet Type Knowledge: Know which wallet generated your mnemonic (Centbee, Rock Wallet, etc.)
Optional PIN: If your wallet uses a PIN or passphrase
Supported Platforms
Web-based: Access via https://mnemonic-brc100.vercel.app/
Cross-platform: Works on desktop and mobile browsers
No Installation Required: Pure web application
Offline Capable: Can be run offline for enhanced security
Security Considerations
Never share your mnemonic: This tool processes mnemonics locally in your browser
Use offline when possible: Download and run locally for maximum security
Clear browser after use: Clear cache and history after using the tool
Private environment: Use in a secure, private location
3. Getting Started: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Access the Tool
Navigate to https://mnemonic-brc100.vercel.app/ in your web browser
For maximum security, consider downloading the page for offline use
The main form will appear with input fields
Step 2: Enter Your Mnemonic
Enter your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase in the designated field
Words should be space-separated
Ensure correct spelling - mnemonics are case-sensitive
If your wallet uses a PIN or passphrase, enter it in the optional PIN field
Step 3: Select Wallet Type and Derivation Path
Choose the correct derivation path for your wallet type:
Centbee
m/44'/0'/0
Recovering Centbee wallet addresses
Rock Wallet
m/0'/0
Recovering Rock Wallet addresses
Electrum SV
m/44'/236'/0'
Recovering Electrum SV wallet addresses
Common
m/44'/0'/0'
Standard BIP44 Bitcoin derivation path
Select your wallet type from the dropdown or radio buttons
The derivation path will be automatically set
Advanced users can manually enter custom derivation paths if needed
Step 4: Configure Gap Limit (Optional)
Set the gap limit or offset for address discovery
Gap limit determines how many unused addresses to check
Default is usually 20; increase if you've generated many addresses
Higher gap limits take longer but find more addresses
Step 5: Generate Addresses
Click "Generate" or "Derive Addresses" button
The tool will derive addresses based on your mnemonic and settings
View the generated addresses in the results section
Each address shows:
Address string
Derivation index
Balance (if connected to blockchain)
UTXO information
Step 6: Manage Your Coins
Review generated addresses and their balances
Identify addresses with UTXOs (unspent coins)
Use this information to:
Import addresses into wallets
Track down missing funds
Understand address usage
Plan transactions
4. Advanced Features
Custom Derivation Paths
Advanced users can specify custom BIP32/BIP44 derivation paths:
Format:
m/purpose'/coin_type'/account'/change/address_indexExperimentation: Try different paths for recovery scenarios
Documentation: Research BIP32, BIP44, and BIP49 standards
Gap Limit Optimization
Small Gap (1-10): Quick address generation for recently used wallets
Medium Gap (20-50): Standard recovery scenarios
Large Gap (100+): Comprehensive search for heavily-used wallets
Performance: Higher gaps increase computation time
Security Best Practices
Run Locally: Download and run on offline computer for sensitive operations
Clear Browser: Delete browsing data after use
Verify Results: Always verify addresses on-chain before transactions
Test First: Use test mnemonics to understand the tool before real use
Wallet Integration
Export Addresses: Copy addresses to import into other wallets
Balance Checking: Verify funds before attempting recovery
Transaction Planning: Identify which addresses hold your coins
5. Troubleshooting & FAQs
Common Issues
No addresses generated
Incorrect mnemonic or derivation path
Verify mnemonic spelling; try different wallet types
Wrong addresses shown
Wrong derivation path selected
Try all wallet types; check if PIN is required
Balance not appearing
Not connected to blockchain or network issue
Refresh page; check internet connection; verify address on-chain
Tool not loading
Browser compatibility
Use latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge
Mnemonic rejected
Invalid word or format
Check spelling; ensure words are BIP39-compatible
Important Tips
Refresh after spending: Refresh page after making transactions to update balances
Verify on-chain: Always verify addresses and balances on a blockchain explorer
Run code locally: Download and run offline for best security practices
Document your wallet type: Remember which wallet created your mnemonic
Test before trusting: Practice with a small amount first
Security Warnings
Never share mnemonics: Anyone with your mnemonic controls your funds
Beware of phishing: Only use the official tool URL
Use private network: Don't use public WiFi for mnemonic operations
Clear history: Remove all traces after use on shared computers
