🧊 SECURITY EXPLAINER
Cold Wallets and Offline Security
Understand offline key storage, the hot-versus-cold wallet trade-off, and practical signing boundaries.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
What to check, in order
Checkpoint 01
Cold storage keeps signing keys away from connected environments. A mobile wallet is not automatically a cold wallet.
Checkpoint 02
A connected device can view network information, while signing and key custody require separate safeguards.
Checkpoint 03
Offline devices can fail or be lost. Backups and a clear recovery plan still matter.
SAFETY BOUNDARY
Know when to stop
If any site, message or person requests your full recovery phrase, private key or remote control of your device, stop and verify independently.
Security reminder
Transactions may be irreversible. Review the address, asset, network and amount before any signature.
