**Crypto Security 101: Stay SAFU in Web3**

Security is the foundation of crypto success. Here’s how to protect your assets:

🔹 **Hot vs. Cold Wallets**

Hot wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) are convenient for frequent transactions but riskier online. Cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) store keys offline, ideal for long-term holdings. I use both—hot for daily swaps, cold for HODLing.

🔹 **Key Management**

Never share seed phrases! Store them offline (metal plates, secure vaults). Use hardware wallets for large amounts. Enable 2FA and avoid SMS authentication (SIM swaps happen!).

🔹 **Best Practices**

- Verify contract addresses before interacting.

- Use dedicated wallets for DeFi/NFTs.

- Regularly update wallet software.

Stay vigilant—your keys, your crypto! 🛡️ #DYOR #SAFU
