Evening review—also gave some thought to custody: hardware wallets, multi-signature, and social recovery, really there isn’t any one of them that’s “more advanced.” It just comes down to your current asset size and whether you can keep following the process.

For small amounts, I don’t think you should turn yourself into an operations engineer. A hardware wallet is enough—the key is not to mess up the backups.

When it gets to the point where losing it would keep you up at night, multi-signature becomes really appealing. But the plain truth is: you need to be able to accept the hassle. Don’t end up realizing you’re missing a signer only when you need to transfer funds at the last minute.

Social recovery sounds very human. But choosing “friends as guardians” also puts your boundary sense to the test. Personally, I’m just not comfortable putting my security in the hands of human relationships.

Recently, the wave of AI Agents and automated trading has been really hot—the storytelling is blowing way out of proportion. But the more automated the interactions on-chain become, the easier it is to treat permissions like they’re meaningless… There are lots of tutorials. I’d rather see ones that focus specifically on “how failure cases/mistakes happen,” because no matter how beautifully you draw the stop-loss line, if you lose your private key, it’s still useless.

That’s it for now.
