Your crypto wallet is your bank account, identity, and security system all in one. Here's how to protect it.

The Golden Rules

1. Never share your seed phrase - Not with anyone, not even "support"
2. Use hardware wallets for large amounts - Ledger/Trezor for long-term storage
3. Beware of phishing - Always double-check URLs before connecting your wallet
4. Use fresh addresses - Don't reuse addresses across chains

Hot vs Cold Wallets

• Hot wallets (MetaMask, Phantom): Convenient, connected to internet, use for daily transactions only
• Cold wallets (hardware): Offline, safest, use for savings

Red Flags

• Anyone asking for your seed phrase = scam
• "Free airdrop" requiring wallet connection = likely phishing
• Urgent messages about account suspension = social engineering

Stay safe out there!
