Learn Best Practices
Protect yourself going forward with these essential security practices.
Seed Phrase Security
Your seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. Here’s how to store it so no one — malware, cloud sync, or a thief — can ever reach it.
Recognizing Scams
Fake airdrops, urgent “opportunities,” unsolicited DMs, and bogus support. Learn the patterns every crypto scam shares so you can spot them instantly.
Safe Browsing Habits
Where you click decides what gets drained. Bookmark official sites, distrust ads and DMs, and verify URLs before connecting your wallet.
Understanding Approvals
A token approval can hand a contract permission to move your funds. Learn what approvals do, why “unlimited” is dangerous, and how to revoke them.
Verify Before You Sign
The transaction is the truth, not the website. Learn to read what you’re signing, trust your hardware screen, and never blind-sign.
Hot/Cold Wallet Model
Think checking account vs. savings. Keep small amounts in a hot wallet for daily use and the bulk offline in cold storage, so one compromise isn’t catastrophic.
Multisig: The Gold Standard
A multisig wallet needs multiple keys to move funds, so one compromised key can’t drain you. Learn why 2-of-3 is the sweet spot and how to set it up well.
What To Do After Being Hacked
Act fast, but stay calm. The right first moves — don’t fund the hacked wallet, set up a clean one, rescue assets carefully — can save what’s left.
Security Checklist
