In the world of crypto, you are your own bank—which means security is your responsibility. At RocketFuel, we’re committed to helping you protect your assets, avoid scams, and stay ahead of security threats.
Why Crypto Security Matters
Holding crypto means you’re in control—but with great power comes great responsibility. Without proper security, your funds could be vulnerable to hacks, phishing scams, and costly mistakes.
Our goal is to help you minimize risks and maximize security so you can focus on growing your portfolio.
Here’s how you can secure your assets today:
#1: Never Share Your Recovery Phrase—Ever.
Your recovery phrase (seed phrase) is the master key to your wallet. If someone gets access to it, they can drain your funds—no exceptions.
Warning: No legit company (including RocketFuel) will ever DM you asking for your seed phrase, private keys, or passwords. If someone asks, they’re a scammer.
Pro Tip: The ONLY time you should enter your recovery phrase is when manually restoring your wallet on a trusted device.
#2: Enable 2FA on All Crypto Accounts
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for hackers to access your accounts. Instead of simply needing a password to access your sensitive accounts, 2FA requires a second form of verification for access.
- Use an authenticator app (Authy or Google Authenticator) instead of SMS for 2FA.
- Activate 2FA on crypto exchanges, wallets, and even your email.
#3: Use a Hardware or Cold Wallet for Long-Term Storage
Your main crypto stack should never be sitting in a hot wallet (connected to the internet).
- Best practice: Store long-term holdings in a cold wallet (not internet-connected) or use a hardware wallet like Ledger for maximum security.
- Cold wallet = Safest option for large holdings.
- Hot wallet = For daily transactions only.
#4: Store Your Wallet Information Securely—Offline.
Never save your private keys, seed phrase, or crypto passwords in a digital document (Google Drive, Notepad, screenshots, etc.).
Write them down on paper and store in a secure location.
For extra protection, consider safety deposit boxes or multi-signature security for high-value holdings.
#5: Stay on High Alert for Phishing Scams
Phishing scams are one of the biggest threats in crypto. Scammers create fake websites or impersonate trusted platforms to steal your info.
How to spot phishing scams:
- Check the URL carefully before entering any login details.
- Never click on suspicious links in emails, DMs, or Telegram messages.
- Bookmark official sites to avoid imposters.
#6: Always Test a New Wallet Before Transferring Large Amounts
Setting up a cold or hardware wallet? Always test it first to ensure your recovery phrase works correctly. A small mistake (like writing down a word incorrectly) can lock you out forever.
- After creating a wallet, restore it using your recovery phrase to confirm it’s correct.
- When sending funds to a new wallet, always send a small test transaction first.
🚨 Never send crypto to a smart contract address unless you 100% understand what you're doing.
