Securing your Wallet

Web3 offers sovereign control over your wealth. With that power comes the absolute responsibility of protection. There is no "Forgot Password" button here.

The Iron Rules of Defense

Security isn't a feature; it's a mindset. Adopt these habits to survive and thrive:

1. The Seed Phrase is Sacred

Your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your digital vault. Never type it into a computer unless you are recovering a wallet. Never share it with support staff. Anyone with these words has your money.

2. Cold Storage for Vaults

For significant holdings, software wallets should act as "checking accounts." Your "savings account" should be a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). These devices keep keys offline, immune to computer viruses.

3. The Phishing Minefield

Scammers mimic reality. They buy Google Ads for "Mute Wallet" and create identical-looking websites. Always verify the URL. Bookmark your trusted apps.

Golden Rule: If a random token appears in your wallet or a website promises free money, it is a trap. Do not interact.
