- Never Digitise Your Seed: Never type, photograph, scan, or upload your 24-word recovery phrase to cloud notes.
- Always Verify on Device: Verify recipient addresses character-by-character on your hardware wallet's built-in screen, never trusting computer monitors alone.
- Real Support Never Asks: Legitimate customer support will NEVER ask for your seed phrase. Anyone requesting it is 100% a scammer.
- Buy Direct, Never Pre-seeded: Never purchase used hardware wallets or use pre-printed recovery sheets found inside packages.
- Disaster-Proof Backups: Paper burns and fades. Use stainless steel metal backups, and always test small recovery amounts before sending life savings.
