Recently, I've been reading discussions about modularization and the DeFi layer, developers are talking excitedly, while ordinary users are mostly confused... But honestly, when it comes to wallet security, there's nothing "modular" about it: the mnemonic phrase is your lifeline, don't screenshot it, don't store it on cloud drives, don't send it to your secondary accounts—writing it down twice and keeping them separate is more reliable than "I can remember it."



What’s easier to fall for is actually signature authorization. Many phishing sites don’t ask you to transfer funds directly; they just get you to sign something you can't understand, or pop up an "infinite authorization" prompt. You keep clicking confirm, and later your assets could be routed anywhere without you knowing. I usually break down transaction paths—if I see an approve to an unfamiliar contract, a max amount written, or a domain that looks like a fake version of Pinduoduo, I just close it immediately, even if I might miss out.

Next time, I plan to split my commonly used wallets into a "daily small amount" wallet and a "cold wallet" that only receives but doesn’t touch. Do you have any quick habits for recognizing phishing sites at a glance?
