ACTION PLAN

Use four practical checkpoints

01

Prepare a trusted device

Update your operating system and review permissions. Rule out remote-control sessions, screen-sharing tools, and unknown extensions before entering sensitive wallet information.

Detailed steps
02

Understand recovery phrases

Handle recovery credentials only inside a trusted wallet flow. Never enter your phrase into websites or provide it to anyone claiming to offer support.

Detailed steps
03

Make an offline backup

Record words in the exact order and check each one. Avoid screenshots, chat messages, and cloud syncing; use a secure offline storage plan.

Detailed steps
04

Check the asset network

Verify the active chain, token identity, and any applicable contract address. Assets with the same ticker on different networks are not necessarily interchangeable.

Confirm offline backups are complete, legible, and securely stored.
