Risk and Safety Handbook.

A practical handbook for scam prevention, approval management, phishing defense, seed-phrase protection, and the operational habits that reduce avoidable losses.

Beginner losses are often operational, not analytical

Shaped by official wallet safety material and investor-risk warnings.

Most scams try to create urgency

Fake support agents, impersonation accounts, and urgent “verification” requests all rely on panic. A beginner safety rule is simple: stop, verify the link, verify the source, and never hand over a recovery phrase.

Approvals are part of your risk surface

Many users think a wallet is only at risk when they send funds. In reality, stale approvals can also expose balances if a connected contract becomes compromised or if the user approved a malicious application.

What the full guide expands

Focused on operational protection, not fear-driven marketing.

The longer edition moves from warning signs into practical defense layers.

The first moves after something feels wrong

The full guide emphasizes calm response over panic.

  1. Stop interacting and confirm whether the domain, contract, or message was legitimate.
  2. Review active approvals and revoke anything that looks unnecessary or suspicious.
  3. Move remaining funds only after understanding the risk path and using a clean destination wallet.
  4. Document what happened so the mistake can be reviewed instead of repeated.
