Wallet Security Best Practices
đź”’ Seed Phrase Security
Your seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. Follow these rules:
- âś… Write it down - Use pen and paper, not digital notes
- âś… Store securely - Use a safe or safety deposit box
- âś… Never share - Not even with X1NS support
- âś… Make backups - Store in multiple secure locations
- ❌ Never screenshot - Digital copies can be hacked
- ❌ Never email - Email is not secure
- ❌ Never type into websites - Only use your wallet extension
🛡️ Transaction Security
When signing transactions:
- Always verify - Check the transaction details
- Confirm addresses - Make sure you’re sending to the right place
- Check amounts - Verify the XNT amount is correct
- Review permissions - Understand what you’re approving
🚨 Phishing Protection
- âś… Bookmark official sites - Use bookmarks, not search engines
- ✅ Check URLs - Always verify you’re on x1ns.xyz
- âś… Enable 2FA - Where available
- ❌ Click suspicious links - In emails, Discord, Telegram
- ❌ Trust DMs - X1NS will never DM you first
- ❌ Share private keys - Never, under any circumstances
Funding Your Wallet
