Recently, I’ve been seeing new L1/L2 projects launching incentives again. In the groups, veteran users are already complaining that “dig, stake, sell” gets played too much—it’s basically the same story. The TVL looks good, but the profits are paper-thin.
That made me think: with the assets I have right now, where is it actually safe to store them?
A hardware wallet is definitely the most reliable, but for small amounts it’s not really worth the hassle. Multi-sig is suitable for teams or large sums—operations are more complicated, but it’s good for preventing loss and theft. Social recovery feels more friendly for everyday users: no need to remember a seed phrase, and you don’t have to worry if you lose the device.
Right now, I keep a small amount in a hot wallet, and for something larger I use multi-sig. I haven’t tried social recovery yet, but I’m a bit tempted—still worried the protocol may not be fully battle-tested.
In any case, “safety” is always a trade-off. I’m curious: how are you choosing based on your current size? Next time, I’m going to try social recovery on a modular wallet and see how it goes.
