Hi!
Just saw the news about Ankr defi project exploited for $5+ million (here we go again).
Here is my list 📝 of basic actions that I usually stick to:
- Notepad for seed phrases and keeping track of assets (Am I the only one who keeps forgetting what I have?😅)
Buy ONLY from official exchanges/marketplaces
- Always DYOR (not Christian): check all info about project, authors, read whitepaper (I know many people are lazy, but it's really important)
- Check transactions for phishing (I'm currently using Web3 Antivirus, cause it's quite simple and easy to use, it's a scoop to try).
- Cold storage.
Feel free to share your tips, let's make a useful to-do list to stay safe&sound!

Valueable tips ! I had a hot wallet, got hacked even with activated 2FA, lost 8k !
"not your keys, not you wallet" right? ^^
I will definitely use multiple cold (paper) wallets in the future and making transactions from a dedicated clean device that I will only use for trading.

@hayerhans omg, sorry for your loss, hope that someday you'll take your assets back! I was also thinking about buying metallic tool for seed phrases, but can't find a good option for now..
I agree with you, Xenia. Being around web 3 space you need to have some precautions. For me is cold storage and always double-checking. Lastly, don't make decisions in a hurry when you are using your wallet.
