Security best practices

1. Seed Phrase Protection

  • Write it down on paper (never save digitally)

  • Store securely in multiple locations (safe, bank deposit box)

  • Never share with anyone (even "support staff")


2. Wallet Access Security

  • Use a strong PIN (6 digits recommended)

  • Enable biometric lock (fingerprint/face ID if available)

  • Log out when using public/shared devices


3. Safe Transaction Habits

Always verify:

  • Recipient addresses (check first/last 4 characters)

  • Token contract addresses before swaps

  • Network fees before confirming

Test first:

  • Send small amounts to new addresses

  • Check transactions on Solscan
