I just watched a brother’s seed phrase get wiped out by a phishing site, and his assets went straight to zero—it’s really tough. To be honest, when it comes to wallet security, it all comes down to the same few red lines: never screenshot your seed phrase, never store it on a cloud drive, and don’t copy-paste it onto any website. Signature approvals are even more dangerous—many phishing sites rely on a fake, disguised signature request to trick you into approving something like “view balance” or “claim rewards,” and once you confirm, everything in your wallet gets handed over to them. Anyway, my own habit is: for any dApp I don’t recognize, I test it first with a small account or a wallet with 0 funds, and only then move to the main account if everything checks out. The play-to-earn and chain gaming side has also been pretty chaotic lately—when an economic model collapses and the studio disappears, the coin price spirals down immediately. In these kinds of setups, approvals are something you should avoid as much as possible. I’m being blunt, but I really want everyone to step into fewer traps.
