Learn to secure your wallets with proper backup and recovery methods
Identify and protect yourself from common crypto scams and phishing
Master the golden rules of crypto security and best practices
In the crypto world, you're your own bank. There's no customer service to call, no transactions to reverse, and no safety net if something goes wrong.
With crypto, you control your own funds. But with great power comes great responsibility - you must protect your assets yourself.
Unlike bank transfers, crypto transactions are permanent. Once you send crypto to a scammer, it's gone forever.
Crypto holders are attractive targets for hackers and scammers. Being prepared is your best defense.
