Security

Build safer habits around seed phrases, private keys, signatures, approvals, devices and transfers.

Safety principle

Never share your seed phrase, private key or verification code. Review the address, network and request details before you sign, approve or transfer.

Control starts with recovery secrets

How to evaluate it

Control starts with recovery secrets is a distinct part of understanding Security. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. The goal is not to memorize button positions. A safer habit is to identify the request, the network, the permission being granted and the result you expect before you confirm anything.

Control starts with recovery secrets is a distinct part of understanding Security. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Fees, confirmation speed and supported features vary across networks. A wallet interface is only one view of the activity; the corresponding blockchain record remains the stronger reference for transaction status.

  • Confirm the object and network related to control starts with recovery secrets
  • Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code
  • Do not approve a request you cannot explain

Judge each request separately

Operational and risk points

Judge each request separately is a distinct part of understanding Security.

Judge each request separately is a distinct part of understanding Security. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.

Devices and networks matter too

How to evaluate it

Devices and networks matter too is a distinct part of understanding Security. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. Use a least-privilege mindset. Never share a seed phrase, private key or verification code, and do not lower your review standard because a request claims to be support, an airdrop, an upgrade or an urgent notice.

Devices and networks matter too is a distinct part of understanding Security. Separate interface labels from on-chain facts: an address identifies an account, the selected network determines where the asset and transaction exist, and a signature or approval can change permissions or trigger execution. A repeatable sequence helps: verify the source, check the address and network, review the amount or permission, then keep the transaction hash and verify confirmation on-chain. Stop when details conflict.

  • Do not approve a request you cannot explain
