SECURITY STARTS WITH YOU

Keep your wallet
in your hands.

Self-custody means you’re responsible for protecting access. A few habits go a long way toward avoiding common scams.

Visit MetaMask support
01

Never share your recovery phrase

No legitimate support agent, website, or giveaway needs it. Anyone who has it can access your wallet.

!
02

Check the site before you connect

Look closely at URLs and app permissions. A familiar logo doesn’t guarantee that a site is genuine.

⌕
03

Read every transaction

Understand what a transaction or signature permits before you approve it. When unsure, cancel and verify.
