🔐 Cryptocurrency Security Guidelines
1️⃣ Private Key and Seed Phrase Storage
• Never store private keys or seed phrases online (e.g., cloud storage, screenshots, messaging apps, etc.).
• It is recommended to use cold wallets (such as Ledger, Trezor) to store large assets.
• You can write down the seed phrase by hand and store it separately in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box.
2️⃣ Be Cautious of Scams
• Do not click on links from unknown sources (especially fake wallet updates, airdrop websites, etc.).
• Social engineering attacks are common with fake customer service, exchanges, or 'friend' recommended projects.
• Be wary of airdrop traps or fake token transfers to wallets to deceive authorization; please enable the 'whitelist' feature.
3️⃣ Diversify Asset Storage
• Do not put all funds in a single exchange or wallet.
• Hot wallets are for trading and small operations; cold wallets are for long-term storage.
4️⃣ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
• All exchange accounts should enable Google Authenticator, avoid using SMS only (which can be intercepted).
• Regularly update passwords and avoid using the same password in multiple places.
5️⃣ Carefully Choose Investment Targets
• High returns often come with high risks; DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is the basic principle.
• Pay attention to whether the project has real application scenarios, team background, audit reports, and community activities.
6️⃣ Be Aware of Authorization Risks
• When using DeFi, NFTs, or new projects, be sure to check authorization details (approve).
• Regularly use Revoke.cash to check and revoke unnecessary contract authorizations.

🛡️ Final Reminder
• 'Not your private key, not your coins.' Remember that true control of assets comes from the private key.
• Information updates rapidly; it is recommended to regularly follow blockchain security-related communities and reporting platforms.
