Hardware Wallets
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor) to sign transactions safely. Hardware devices keep private keys offline and require physical confirmation for actions — ideal for valuable NFTs.
Phishing & URLs
- Always check the domain:
opensea.iois official. - Beware of lookalike domains and social DMs promising giveaways.
Signatures vs Transactions
Understand what you sign: authentication signatures only verify wallet ownership. Transaction signatures authorize movement of funds — never sign a transaction you don't expect.
Permissions & Approvals
When using third-party marketplaces, periodically revoke old approvals (via Etherscan or wallet interfaces) to reduce risk of unauthorized spending.
