🔑Seed Phrase

Is your seed phrase stored offline (never digital)?critical

Seed phrases should never be stored in screenshots, notes apps, cloud storage, or email.

Do you have multiple backup copies in separate locations?critical

A single copy creates a single point of failure. Store copies in at least 2 separate locations.

Is at least one backup on metal (fireproof)?medium

Paper backups can be destroyed by fire or water. Metal backups survive extreme conditions.

🔒Hardware Wallet

Do you use a hardware wallet for significant holdings?critical

Hardware wallets keep private keys offline, protecting against malware and phishing.

Is your hardware wallet firmware up to date?high

Firmware updates patch security vulnerabilities and add new features.

Did you purchase from the official manufacturer?critical

Buying from third parties risks pre-compromised devices with modified firmware.

📝Transaction Habits

Do you verify addresses on your hardware wallet screen before signing?critical

Clipboard malware can swap addresses. Always verify the full address on your hardware device.

Do you send test transactions before large transfers?high

Sending a small amount first ensures the address is correct and you understand fees.

Do you regularly revoke unused token approvals?high

Unlimited approvals to DeFi contracts create risk. Use revoke.cash or similar tools.

🛡️Account Security

Is your exchange email using a hardware security key or authenticator?critical

Email compromise leads to exchange account takeover. Use hardware 2FA, not SMS.

Do you use a unique email for crypto accounts?medium

A dedicated email reduces the attack surface from data breaches on other services.

Do you use a password manager with unique passwords?high

Reused passwords from data breaches are a top attack vector for exchange accounts.

🌐Network & Device

Do you avoid signing transactions on public WiFi?high

Public networks can be monitored. Use VPN or mobile data for sensitive crypto transactions.

Do you use a VPN for crypto activities?low

A VPN adds a layer of privacy and security against network-level attacks.

Do you use a separate browser profile for DeFi?medium

Malicious browser extensions can read and modify transaction data. Isolate DeFi browsing.

🎣Phishing Awareness

Do you access DeFi sites via bookmarks (not Google search)?high

Phishing ads on search engines mimic real DeFi sites. Always use bookmarked URLs.

Do you never click links from DMs or unsolicited messages?high

Crypto scams overwhelmingly start with links in DMs on Discord, Telegram, or Twitter.

Why Wallet Security Matters

Cryptocurrency theft exceeded $3.8 billion in 2025, with phishing attacks and compromised seed phrases being the leading causes of loss. Unlike traditional banking, crypto transactions are irreversible — once your funds are stolen, recovery is nearly impossible.

This interactive audit walks you through the most critical security practices that protect your digital assets. From seed phrase management to hardware wallet hygiene, each check is weighted by its impact on your overall security posture.

Run this audit periodically (we recommend monthly) and share it with friends who are new to crypto. A few minutes of prevention can save a lifetime of holdings.
