## **🔐 5 Must-Follow Crypto Safety Rules**
### **1️⃣ Use a Secure Wallet**
- **Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor)** are safest for large holdings.
- **Never share your seed phrase**—no legit platform will ask for it!

- **Bookmark official websites** and avoid clicking random links.
### **3️⃣ Enable 2FA Everywhere**

### **5️⃣ Revoke Unused Wallet Permissions**
- Use [**Revoke.cash**](https://revoke.cash) to remove access from old dApps.
- **Limit approvals** to only what’s necessary.
