# Web3 Security Fundamentals

Security is crucial in Web3. This guide covers the fundamental practices to keep your assets safe on TokenFabric and across the blockchain space.

## Core Security Principles

### 1. Wallet Security

Your wallet is your bank account and identity combined - protect it accordingly.

**Never Share:**

* Recovery phrases
* Private keys
* Wallet passwords
* Screen shares showing sensitive info

**Always:**

* Use unique passwords
* Enable 2FA where available
* Lock your wallet when not in use
* Keep software updated

<Warning>
  If someone gets your recovery phrase or private key, they can take all your assets. These should never be shared with anyone.
</Warning>

## Common Scams to Avoid

### 1. Phishing Attacks

Scammers try to steal your information through:

* Fake websites
* Impersonation
* Malicious links
* Suspicious emails

**Protection:**

* Bookmark official sites
* Type URLs directly
* Verify all addresses
* Don't click unknown links

### 2. Social Engineering

Be aware of:

* Fake support staff
* Urgent action requests
* Too-good-to-be-true offers
* Unsolicited messages

**Protection:**
