These days, I've seen a bunch of people rushing to testnet incentives, and in the group, people are asking every day, "Will the mainnet release tokens or not?"
I'm actually more interested in first clarifying the most basic thing: how to protect my own assets.
Honestly, if the amount isn't large and transfers are few, a hardware wallet is enough—low cost and minimal mental burden;
As assets grow and you need to manage them with others (partners, family, team), multi-signature becomes more reliable—more trouble but can reduce single-point failures;
I think social recovery is suitable for people like "I tend to lose things easily / don't want to manage seed phrases," but only if you truly trust those contacts—otherwise, relationships can be more complicated than on-chain trust.
Anyway, I now prefer to go slower rather than be led around by "points expectations" and constantly authorize everywhere.
What I’ve learned isn’t techniques, but to choose a plan based on my asset size and lifestyle habits—don't treat security as just a trendy gear.
