Wallet Isolation 101

Step-by-step instructions for separating hot minting wallets from primary vault reserves, hardware ledger setup, and revoking spending approvals.

Rule #1 of Web3 Security: Never connect your primary asset vault to unverified dApps or minting sites. Recommended 3-Tier Wallet Structure: 1. Vault Reserve (Cold Storage / Multi-Sig): Stores 90% of total capital. Never signs unverified smart contract approvals. 2. Operational Wallet (Warm Storage): Stores 9% for active trading and staking on audited protocols. 3. Disposable Minting Wallet (Hot Storage): Stores 1% for new dApps, NFT mints, and experimental testnets. Always regularly check and revoke active allowances using verified security tools.
