Overview
Start with the core principle
Understand the difference between a private key and a recovery phrase, how each affects wallet access, and safer ways to store sensitive credentials.
Understand the risks and boundaries
01
Know what you are reviewing
Private keys enable account signing, while recovery phrases can regenerate related accounts. Disclosure of either may put funds at risk.
02
Verify the request and source
Do not skip independent checks because a website looks familiar, uses known asset names, or creates a sense of urgency.
03
Preserve a recovery path
Confirm a usable backup before sensitive actions, and avoid exposing credentials or granting unintended approvals.
A safer next step
✅ Action reminder
If the network, address, app source, or signing details are unclear, pause and verify independently before proceeding.
