Are all seed phrases universal across wallets?

[ThreadHunter]

I have an old seed phrase from a crypto wallet I used a few years ago, but now I want to switch to a different wallet. Since wallets use words from a seed phrase word list, does that mean I can restore my phrase in any wallet? Or are there compatibility issues?

Most modern wallets follow the BIP39 standard, meaning they use the same seed phrase word listto generate recovery phrases. This allows you to restore your wallet across different platforms likeTrust Wallet, MetaMask, and Ledger. However, some wallets add extra security layers, such as a passphrase, which might affect compatibility.
