The 10-minute wallet safety check

Most crypto losses aren't clever exploits — they're preventable habits. This is the exact checklist that stops them, in the order that matters.

1

Your seed phrase is a key, not a code

It can restore your entire wallet. Anyone who asks for it — support, a website, a "verification" bot, a DApp — is a scammer. Legitimate tools never need it. Write it on paper, keep it offline, and never type it anywhere.

2

Revoke old approvals

Every token approval you've ever signed lets that contract move your funds until you revoke it. One bad airdrop interaction can drain a wallet months later. Use a revoke tool to clear approvals on anything you no longer use.

3

Check the token before you trade it

Paste the contract address into a scanner first — check liquidity, holders, whether the dev wallet is dumped or renounced, whether there's bundler risk. Ten seconds of checking prevents most of the bad outcomes.

4

Ignore the DM, not the deal

Anyone who DMs you first with a 'special opportunity', an 'urgent issue with your account', or asks you to 'connect your wallet to claim' is a scammer. Real teams never DM first. The only official support bot here is @FiveStarSupportBot — anything else claiming to be us isn't.

5

Check the URL, twice

Phishing sites clone real ones and differ by one character. Bookmark the real links, and if a link arrives in a chat, type the domain yourself instead of clicking.
