#StaySAFU **"Stay SAFU"** is a popular crypto slang term meaning **"Stay Secure Asset Fund for Users"**—a reminder to keep your crypto investments safe from scams, hacks, and fraud.
**How to Stay SAFU in Crypto (Avoid Scams & Hacks)**
1. **Use Secure Wallets**
- **Hardware wallets** (Ledger, Trezor) for long-term storage.
- **Trusted software wallets** (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) with strong passwords & 2FA.
2. **Avoid Phishing Scams**
- Never click suspicious links (fake airdrops, "support" DMs).
- Double-check URLs (scammers use domains like *pancakeswop.finance*).
3. **Smart Contract Risks**
- Audit new DeFi projects (check CertiK or SlowMist reports).
- Avoid "too good to be true" APYs (rug pulls are common).
4. **Exchange Safety**
- Use **regulated exchanges** (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken).
- Enable **whitelisting, 2FA, and anti-phishing codes**.
5. **Private Key Security**
- **Never share seed phrases** (real support won’t ask).
- Store backups offline (metal plates > paper).
6. **Stay Updated**
- Follow security alerts from **@SlowMist, @CertiK, @zachxbt**.
- Watch for **wallet drainer malware** (fake wallet apps).
