Security
🔒 Security Best Practices DO: ✅ Write your seed phrase on paper (not digital) ✅ Store seed phrase in two separate physical locations ✅ Use a strong, unique password ✅ Verify website URLs before connecting your wallet ✅ Review every transaction before signing ✅ Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) for large amounts DON'T: ❌ Share your seed phrase with anyone — ever ❌ Enter your seed phrase on any website ❌ Store your seed phrase in email, cloud storage, or photos ❌ Trust DMs offering "support" — they're always scams ❌ Click random links in Discord or Twitter ❌ Sign transactions you don't understand 🚨 Common Scams to Avoid "Support" DMs — Real support never DMs first. Block them. Fake airdrops — If you have to connect to claim, it's usually a drainer. Wallet "verification" — No legitimate app will ask for your seed phrase. Lookalike websites — Bookmark official sites and use bookmarks only.
🧠 Quick Mental Model
Think of your wallet like a safe that only you have the combination to: Public address \= the safe's location (everyone can see and send to it) Seed phrase \= the master combination (write it down, never share it) Password \= the lock on the room with the safe (protects local access only)
If someone gets your password, they need access to your device. If someone gets your seed phrase, they have your wallet — anywhere, forever.
