PalWallet incorporates industry-standard encryption techniques to safeguard your wallet and the confidentiality of your Recovery Phrase. To boost the protection of your assets, it's essential to adopt best practices for securing your crypto wallet. Below are three critical steps for safeguarding your crypto assets in PalWallet:

Step 1- Enable Phone and App Security

  • Only Use the Authentic App: Always download PalWallet from the official website or trusted app stores to ensure you're using the genuine version. Updates often include security enhancements and optimizations.

  • Ensure Device Integrity: Avoid using PalWallet on rooted or jailbroken devices. Keep your device clean from malware by only downloading reputable apps and regularly updating your operating system.

  • Use the App Lock: Utilize PalWallet's feature to set a passcode or biometric lock on the app, requiring authentication upon every launch. This adds an extra layer of security against unauthorized access.

Step 2- Secure Your Recovery Phrase

  • Protect Access to the Wallet: Your Recovery Phrase is vital for accessing your wallet if your device gets lost, damaged, or stolen. Remember, you are the sole custodian of your Recovery Phrase. PalWallet doesn't store this information, and without it, access to your wallet is impossible.

  • Offline Recovery Phrase Storage: For maximum security, your Recovery Phrase should be stored offline. Writing it down on paper and storing it in a secure location is strongly recommended.

Step 3- Stay Safe

  • Guard Your Recovery Phrase: Anyone with your Recovery Phrase can access your wallet and funds. Loss or theft of funds is irreversible, and PalWallet cannot recover them.

  • Privacy and Security Tips:

    • Never input your Recovery Phrase or Private Key on questionable websites.

    • Do not share your Recovery Phrase or Private Key with strangers.

    • Be wary of direct messages from anyone claiming to be PalWallet staff, as they will never ask for your Recovery Phrase or Private Key.

    • Follow only official PalWallet channels for accurate news and updates.

Following these steps diligently will significantly enhance the security of your funds in PalWallet. Always stay informed and cautious with your digital assets to enjoy a safe crypto experience.
