Verify the source
Inspect domains and publishing channels, and read security guidance before installing anything from a message or advertisement.
Install carefully: sources and permissions →Private keys and recovery phrases explained
Understand the difference between a private key and a recovery phrase, and why requests to reveal either credential are high-risk.
🔐 Stay in control✅ Review each step
Credentials do not belong in chats
Review each instruction and validate the source before proceeding.
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
Create or import
Know the difference between a new wallet and recovering an existing one; importing may expose sensitive recovery material.
Creating a wallet starts with understanding custody →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 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
