Essential security practices and guidelines to help you protect your assets and navigate the DeFi ecosystem safely.
Store significant amounts in hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor. Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it.
Write down your seed phrase on paper and store it in multiple secure locations. Never store it digitally or take photos.
Always double-check recipient addresses. Use address books and whitelisting features when available.
Test new protocols or addresses with small amounts first before making larger transactions.
Only use protocols that have been audited by reputable firms. Review audit reports and known vulnerabilities.
Regularly review and revoke unnecessary contract allowances. Use tools like Revoke.cash to manage permissions.
Create unique, complex passwords for each platform. Use a password manager and enable 2FA wherever possible.
Verify URLs carefully. Never click on suspicious links or connect your wallet to untrusted sites.
