Wallet FAQ: security, transfers and recovery
Find clear answers about key custody, offline backups, recovery phrases, device changes, USDT network matching, transaction review, suspicious links and installation precautions.
Custody depends on the actual application and version. Verify how keys are generated, backed up and used for signing rather than assuming a site description proves custody.
Network access is typically needed to view chain state and broadcast transactions. Keep offline credential backups separate from connected activity.
Record it privately offline, verify its order and legibility, and avoid screenshots, cloud documents, chat apps or sharing it with anyone claiming to offer support.
A private key generally controls a specific account, while a recovery phrase can derive multiple keys. Both are highly sensitive and need careful protection.
Confirm that you own a valid backup, use software from a verified source on a safe device, then check the recovered addresses and networks carefully.
USDT exists on different networks. Compare the network, token contract, recipient address and receiving service support instead of relying only on the ticker.
Verify the network, recipient, token, amount, fees and any approval request. Consider a small test for transfers where appropriate.
Review the domain and origin of the software. Avoid unexpected packages, redirects and download pages that demand recovery phrases.
Treat urgent signature prompts, recovery phrase requests and broad token allowances cautiously. Do not approve requests you cannot explain.
