Wallet safety checklist
Most crypto losses aren't bad trades — they're security mistakes. These six habits prevent nearly all of them. This is also why Radar never asks to connect a wallet: research tools don't need your signature.
✓Your seed phrase never leaves paper
Anyone with those words owns everything, forever. No screenshots, no cloud notes, no 'support agent' ever needs it. Any site or DM asking for it is a theft attempt, 100% of the time.
✓Use a burner wallet for risky tokens
Keep a main wallet that only holds funds, and a separate small wallet for interacting with new tokens and sites. If the burner gets drained, the damage is capped.
✓Review token approvals monthly
Every swap approval you sign can be a standing permission. Revoke old ones with your wallet's built-in tools — a forgotten approval from a scam site can drain you months later.
✓Verify addresses character by character
Clipboard malware swaps addresses as you paste. Check the first and last 4 characters every single time before signing.
✓Hardware wallet past $1,000
Once your holdings matter, a $60 hardware wallet is the cheapest insurance in crypto. Hot wallets are for spending money, not savings.
✓Assume every DM is a scam
Airdrops you didn't enter, 'support' reaching out first, urgent mint links — the urgency is the tell. Nothing legitimate in crypto requires action in the next ten minutes.
