Frequently Asked
Questions

Quick answers to common wallet security concerns.

What is a seed phrase and why is it important?
A seed phrase is the recovery key for your crypto wallet. Anyone who has it can access your funds, so it must be kept private and offline.
Buy only from the official website or authorized reseller. Check packaging, seals, and use only the official wallet app.
A passphrase adds extra protection, but you must store it safely. If you forget it, you may lose access to your wallet.
. Is a hardware wallet safe from hackers?
Yes, hardware wallets keep private keys offline, which makes them safer. But you still need to avoid phishing and protect your seed phrase.
If you still have access to the wallet, move your funds to a new wallet immediately and create a new backup.
Check regularly through the official wallet app or website. Updates help fix bugs and improve security.
Can I store my seed phrase in Google Drive?
No. Never store your seed phrase in cloud storage, email, notes apps, screenshots, or photos.
Yes. Many users keep separate wallets for savings, daily use, and higher-risk transactions.
Hot wallets are useful for small amounts and quick access, but they are connected to the internet and are less secure than hardware wallets.
