# **Crypto Security 101: Essential Tips to Protect Your Digital Assets**

Cryptocurrency offers financial freedom, but it also comes with risks—hacks, scams, and irreversible losses. Here’s a quick guide to securing your crypto like a pro.

### **1. Secure Your Private Keys**

Your private keys are the gateway to your funds. Never share them and store them offline in a **hardware wallet** (like Ledger or Trezor) or a **paper wallet** .

### **2. Use Strong Authentication**

Enable **two-factor authentication (2FA)** using an app (Google Authenticator) or a **YubiKey**—avoid SMS-based 2FA due to SIM-swapping risks .
