Security Best Practices
Backup Your Seed
Always write down and securely store your 12-word seed phrase. Consider a metal backup for fire and water resistance.
Verify Addresses
Double-check receiving and sending addresses before confirming transactions. Always verify the first and last few characters.
Start Small
Test with small amounts first to familiarize yourself with the wallet before moving larger amounts.
Keep Private
Never share your seed words or private keys with anyone, ever — including support staff, friends, or websites.
