Honestly, lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people privately ask whether they should set up multisig or social recovery. My own feeling is— it depends on how big the positions you’re holding are right now.
For example, as things stand, most of my assets are spread across several hardware wallets. For smaller amounts, I just put them into a hot wallet and mess around casually. Multisig really is great, but it can also be pretty troublesome to set up—especially for newcomers, who can accidentally turn it into “locking yourself out.” I think social recovery is more flexible, and it suits people who often switch devices, or who are afraid of losing their recovery phrases.
Recently, there’s been a lot of hype about AI Agent automated trading, but every time I see those permission settings in the contract, I can’t help thinking about reading through the audit report. To put it plainly, no matter how flashy the narrative is, if the security details aren’t properly tightened up, I wouldn’t dare to put big money into it.
Anyway, I think you shouldn’t rush to follow the trend. Think about what you’re most afraid of losing right now, then decide which custody/lock method to use.
