Private Keys and Recovery Phrases
Learn how private keys, public addresses and recovery phrases differ, and why secrecy is essential.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
What to check, in order
Checkpoint 01
A public address receives assets; a private key authorizes control; a recovery phrase can restore wallet keys.
Checkpoint 02
A leaked private key or recovery phrase can give others control, even if you delete the message later.
Checkpoint 03
No support agent, group moderator or website form should need your full recovery phrase.
SAFETY BOUNDARY
Know when to stop
If any site, message or person requests your full recovery phrase, private key or remote control of your device, stop and verify independently.
Security reminder
Transactions may be irreversible. Review the address, asset, network and amount before any signature.
