Basic security practices
Seven habits that prevent nearly every common loss. None require technical skill — just patience.
Your keys, your responsibility — made simple
A hardware wallet keeps your keys offline, and the desktop app keeps you informed. Security is the handshake between the two: the computer shows, the device confirms.
- 1. Recovery phrase stays on paperWrite it by hand, store copies in two separate safe places, and never photograph, email, or type it anywhere.
- 2. Verify on the device screenEvery address and amount must match on your hardware device before you approve — malware can change what's on the monitor.
- 3. Bookmark the official sourcePhishing ads imitate download pages. Save the real one once, then always open it from your bookmark.
Computer hygiene
Your desktop is half of the system. Keep it boring and updates current: OS updates on, screen auto-lock under five minutes, full-disk encryption enabled, and no “free” crypto tools from forums. One focused user account for finances beats a shared family login.
Transaction-day routine
Slow down on purpose: send a small test first, confirm it in the activity list, then send the rest. Read the full address — first and last characters aren't enough. Never approve an on-device prompt you didn't expect, and never share your screen during a transaction call with a stranger.
