DeFi gives you full control of your assets, but that also means full responsibility. Follow these safety tips to protect your wallet and funds when using Synthetix.
Best practices
Use official links only
Bookmark the official app.
Double-check URLs before connecting your wallet.
Keep your seed phrase safe
Write it down and store it offline.
Never share your seed phrase or private key, not even with "support".
Use a hardware wallet if possible
Ledger or Trezor add an extra layer of protection.
Keep some ETH for gas
Without ETH, you can’t revoke approvals, move funds, or fix issues.
Stay alert to scams
Be cautious of unsolicited messages, fake airdrops, or offers that sound too good to be true.
Synthetix support will never DM you first.
Quick safety checks
Before signing or approving anything:
Check the site URL.
Check the token/contract address.
Check that the request matches the action you intended.
If something goes wrong
Revoke approvals using Revoke.cash.
Move your assets to a new wallet if needed.
