👉 3 Defenses to Bullet-Proof Your Wallet

  • Gas-Only Wallet: Keep only small “gas funds” on your hot wallet; store long-term holdings offline or in a hardware wallet Cyfrin.

  • Whitelist Trusted DEXes: Pre-approve Uniswap, SushiSwap, and Binance-approved contracts—every “unknown” approval is a red flag Trust Wallet.

🔒 Stay safe—one careless click costs thousands.
