Simple definition
Web3 safety is the set of habits that protect your wallet, accounts, and money when you use blockchain-based tools.
How it works
- Keep your recovery phrase offline and private.
- Check every link and app before you connect a wallet.
- Start small, and use a separate wallet for trying new things.
Everyday example
In real life
Before connecting to a new app, Sam checks the web address letter by letter, looks for reviews from trusted sources, and tries it with a wallet that holds almost nothing.
