Learn the basics of choosing a wallet, protecting access to it, and checking transfers carefully.
Back up securely
Store your recovery phrase offline in a private place. Never share it or enter it on a page you do not trust.
Check every transfer
Verify the destination address, network, and amount before confirming a transaction. Transfers may be irreversible.
A safer wallet setup, step by step
Wallets differ in how keys are stored, which networks they support, and who can authorize transactions. Understand the setup before sending assets to a new address.
1. Check compatibility
Confirm the asset and network are supported by both the sending and receiving wallet. A matching token name does not guarantee that two networks are compatible.
2. Protect the backup
Follow the wallet provider's official backup instructions. Keep recovery material offline and private; do not store it in screenshots, chat, or ordinary email.
3. Verify a small transfer
When appropriate, confirm the recipient, network, and fees with a small test transfer before sending a larger amount. Never skip address verification.
4. Review permissions
Understand what a wallet connection or token approval permits. Disconnecting an app may not revoke an on-chain approval; use the network's trusted tools to review permissions.
Important: Transactions may be irreversible. ForexWallet is not connected to a wallet and cannot recover funds, reverse transfers, or verify an address for you.
