Recently, the new L1/L2 projects have started showering incentives again to pull TVL. In the group, people are charging forward while cursing “mine, propose, and sell” at the same time; I’m actually more concerned that the basics with your wallet don’t go wrong. Mnemonic phrases, if you put it plainly, are like the key ring to your home—don’t take photos, don’t store them in a cloud drive, and don’t send them to “customer service.” Writing them down on paper and keeping them separated is more solid than storing them on your phone. Don’t be too quick when signing and authorizing—when you see something like “Confirm to claim your reward,” I’ll pause for two seconds first: is it granting unlimited authorization, or is it jumping to a strange domain? The most vicious phishing sites look exactly like the real thing. I’d rather miss out on a few days of mining than hand over my address just for those incentives.
