Tips For Our Clients
Keep Your Private Keys Offline
Always store your wallet’s private keys offline using hardware wallets. Avoid sharing or saving keys in digital/cloud environments to prevent exposure to hacks, malware, or phishing attacks. Offline storage is the cornerstone of crypto security.
Securely Store Your Recovery Seed Phrase
Write down your recovery seed phrase on physical media like paper or metal and keep it in a locked, safe place. Never store it digitally or share it. This phrase is crucial to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Regularly Update Wallet Firmware
Keep your cold wallet’s firmware up to date using official sources. Updates patch security vulnerabilities and enhance functionality, ensuring your device remains protected against emerging threats and malware attacks.
Use Strong PINs and Passwords
Set a strong PIN or password for your hardware wallet. This additional layer protects the device from unauthorized access if physically lost or stolen. Avoid easy combinations and change PINs periodically.
Backup Multiple Copies in Secure Locations
Create multiple backups of your seed phrase stored in distinct, secure locations. This mitigates risks of physical loss, theft, or natural disasters, ensuring you can recover your wallet anytime from a backup.
Test with Small Transactions First
Before moving large crypto amounts, perform a test transaction to verify your cold wallet setup and transaction process. This helps prevent costly mistakes or loss due to setup errors or user handling issues.
