Spring Festival Asset Security Guide: How to Protect Your Tokens While Relaxing with Family and Friends?
Ahead of the Lunar New Year, this guide outlines key strategies to protect your digital assets during a period of increased activity and potential distraction.
Key risks highlighted include sophisticated AI-powered scams, such as voice and deepfake video calls that can perfectly mimic acquaintances to request urgent token transfers. The article stresses that traditional verification methods are no longer foolproof and recommends establishing offline verification protocols with trusted contacts. It also warns against clicking any links, even those shared by friends, and advises always using official channels for transactions.
The second major risk involves accumulated wallet authorizations (approvals) from past DeFi interactions. These can become hidden vulnerabilities if old, unused permissions are exploited. The guide recommends a pre-holiday "security check" to review and revoke unnecessary approvals, especially unlimited ones, using tools within wallets like imToken or external sites like revoke.cash. The core principle is to adhere to the minimum necessary permissions.
Finally, the article cautions against security lapses during travel and social gatherings. This includes never storing seed phrases digitally, avoiding public discussion of holdings, and only downloading wallets from official sources. For transactions, it is critical to double-check the full address (not just the first and last characters), conduct test transfers to new addresses, and use address whitelisting to prevent falling victim to common phishing attacks.
In conclusion, while Web3 cannot be risk-free, these proactive measures can create a manageable security environment, allowing users to enjoy the holiday with greater peace of mind.
