Your crypto security starts with one rule: keep your recovery phrase private. 🔐 A wallet recovery phrase can give someone control of your funds. Never share it in DMs, support chats, or “verification” forms. A public wallet address is for receiving crypto. A recovery phrase is for recovering your wallet. Know the difference before you share.
