Wallet safety basics

Summary

Keep the recovery phrase offline and never type it into a website. Use a separate wallet for trying new apps, with little in it. Review wallet approvals from time to time and remove the ones you no longer use, since an old approval can still let a contract move your tokens. Most losses come from one rushed click, so slow down before signing anything.

Key points

• The recovery phrase stays offline, always.
• Use a separate small wallet for new apps.
• Remove old wallet approvals you no longer need.
