Creation is just the beginning
Know the difference between a new wallet and recovering an existing one; importing may expose sensitive recovery material.
A secure workflow is built on deliberate checks: understand what is being requested, confirm the correct network or device, and never reveal recovery secrets to another person.
⚠️ Important boundary
Never paste your recovery phrase or private key into an unfamiliar website, form, or chat.
PRACTICAL CHECKLIST
A safer sequence, from start to finish
Record the recovery phrase
Write every word in order and keep the phrase out of screenshots, shared notes, chats, and cloud sync.
Your first recovery phrase backup →Verify an offline backup
Check readability and word order, then store copies appropriately without creating an obvious single point of failure.
Restoring a wallet safely →VERIFY BEFORE YOU ACT
Three checks worth repeating
01
Verify the software source and destination, including the complete domain or wallet address.
02
Match the asset to the selected network and review amounts and fees before approving.
03
Keep independent offline recovery records, away from public devices and online sharing.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Start with a safer setup
Verify the source, save your recovery details offline, and double-check every transaction.
