Exchange & Security FAQ

Safety depends on factors like regulatory compliance, security history, insurance coverage, and cold storage practices. Major regulated exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini are generally considered safer, but no exchange is 100% secure. Always use strong security practices.
For large holdings, self-custody in a hardware wallet is recommended ('not your keys, not your coins'). Exchanges can be hacked or freeze withdrawals. However, keeping small trading amounts on reputable exchanges with 2FA enabled is generally acceptable.
Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Be skeptical of guaranteed returns or pressure tactics. Verify URLs carefully (scammers create fake sites). Don't click links in unsolicited messages. Research projects thoroughly before investing. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step beyond your password. Use authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy rather than SMS (which can be SIM-swapped). 2FA significantly reduces the risk of account compromise.
