Key steps
Record the phrase away from cameras and bystanders
Use this checkpoint to confirm that you understand the next action and that it matches the intended wallet or network.
Double-check spelling and word order
Keep secret credentials out of screenshots, shared documents, and messages. Treat unexpected requests as a reason to stop.
Keep the backup offline in a protected location
Check details slowly. A copied address, familiar token name, or wallet prompt alone is not proof that a transaction is safe.
Understand the recovery process before moving funds
Complete this stage on a trusted device and check the result before continuing to the next operation.
