Choosing an exchange:
1.1 Choose one that holds a compliance license from a mainstream country (such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union) to reduce regulatory risks.
1.2 Confirm that cold and hot wallets are isolated, and most assets are stored in cold wallets.
1.3 Give priority to platforms that regularly disclose third-party audit reports (such as Merkle Tree proofs).
1.4 Check the exchange history to see if it has been hacked and compensated.
Account security:
2.1 Use Google Authenticator or hardware keys (such as YubiKey) for strong secondary verification, and prohibit SMS verification.
2.2 Set a unique password of more than 12 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols, and change it regularly.
2.3 API transactions only grant "read" or "trading" rights, and withdrawals are prohibited.
2.4 Use dedicated equipment, install VPN or encrypted network, and do not install irrelevant software.
Fund operations:
3.1 Test the first withdrawal of a small amount to verify the address and process security.
3.2 Deposit large amounts in hardware wallets (such as Ledger/Trezor) and leave trading funds in the exchange. 3.3 Enable login reminders and freeze accounts when unfamiliar IPs are found. 3.4 Manually enter the official website domain name, do not click on the link, and check the SSL certificate.
Investment awareness: 4.1 Reject high-yield scams and stay away from derivatives on informal platforms. 4.2 Understand the tax and legality policies of cryptocurrencies in your country. 4.3 Use conditional orders (Stop-Loss) to automatically stop losses and prevent emotional liquidation. 4.4 Independently verify the news, do not follow the trend or KOL recommendations.
Emergency preparation: 5.1 Handwrite private keys/mnemonics, store them in a fireproof and waterproof manner, and do not take screenshots or store them in the cloud. 5.2 Preset profit and loss values, regularly evaluate exchange risks and transfer assets.
In short, exchange security is a matter of probability. We need to diversify risks (multi-platform + hardware wallet), take proactive measures (2FA + independent password), pay attention to market trends, and flexibly adjust strategies. #bybit被盗 #币安上线KAITO
