How to secure my crypto

Best practices for keeping your assets safe

Securing your crypto is about more than just using the right wallet. Good habits and careful behaviour are essential to protect your funds. Here are some practical steps to keep both your Wraith Wallet and your assets secure.

Securing your device

Use a strong, unique password or biometric lock on your phone.

Install reputable antivirus or anti-malware software.

Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive activity - use mobile data or a trusted network.

Keep your operating system and apps updated to patch vulnerabilities.

Enable Wraith Wallet’s built-in security options to add extra protection.

Protecting your recovery phrase

Write your recovery phrase on paper or engrave it on a metal backup.

Store multiple copies in separate secure locations.

Never save it digitally (e.g. screenshots, cloud storage, email).

Do not share it with anyone under any circumstances.

Regularly check that your backup method is still safe and intact.

Safer online behaviour

Ignore emails or messages asking for recovery phrases or private keys.

Bookmark official sites instead of clicking links.

Keep your browser up to date for the latest security patches.

Tighten privacy settings on your social accounts to limit personal exposure.

Only connect to trusted dApps through WalletConnect.

User-focused practices

Keep only small amounts of crypto in hot wallets for trading.

Use Watch Wallets or hardware wallets for long-term storage.

Stay informed about the latest security threats and scam tactics.

If you’re technically inclined, explore security audits or bug bounty programmes.

✅ By combining secure devices, safe storage of recovery phrases, and cautious online activity, you can significantly reduce your risk. Wraith Wallet gives you the tools - it’s up to you to use them wisely.
