🚨 Security in DeFi: 3 Main Tips for Beginners
Decentralized finance (DeFi) opens up a wealth of opportunities, but it also carries serious risks. Hacker attacks, scam projects, and phishing are just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s how to protect yourself:
✅ 1. Use Hardware Wallets
Connecting to DeFi through cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor) reduces the risk of theft. Never store large amounts in hot wallets.
✅ 2. Check Smart Contracts
Research projects through resources like DeFiLlama and RugDoc. Check if the contract has undergone an audit (for example, from CertiK).
✅ 3. Beware of “Generous” Airdrops
Too enticing offers are a common trap. Do not subscribe to unfamiliar tokens in MetaMask and do not interact with suspicious dApps.
