The essentials
Explore the principles of local key control, device security, and responsible recovery planning.
01
Prepare
Local key management means taking responsibility for sensitive credentials rather than sharing them with unknown services.
02
Review
Screen locks, app passcodes, and device updates are useful everyday layers of protection.
03
Verify
An offline phrase provides a recovery path after loss or failure of a device.
04
Follow through
Signing should follow a clear understanding of the recipient and on-chain consequences.
A useful safety boundary
Protecting wallet credentials is a personal responsibility. No message, call, or website verification request justifies disclosing a private key or recovery phrase.
