If you are new to the world of Web3, the first thing you have to learn is to remain skeptical, in awe, and curious; the road is free and beautiful, but the roadside is also full of dangers.
At present, Web 3 is only a direction, an experiment that requires constant trial and error, and a concept that will take a long time to complete; the encrypted world is still in the groping stage, freedom and decentralization mean that ownership is in your hands, your All operational choices determine the ownership of your assets. Asset security has always been the most difficult problem in the Web3 world; some people joked that the most successful transformation from Web2 to Web3 is hackers.

1. Avoid saving your wallet information on the Internet
The mnemonic phrase and private key in the wallet are like the key to open your wallet. Once leaked, the entire wallet will be completely controlled by others (basically fake links are also used to obtain your private key); It is difficult to achieve 100% security and no information leakage.

2. Decentralization of assets
Such incidents will occur in FTX, I believe everyone will understand the importance of decentralized allocation of assets. Before this, everyone felt that it was safest to put it on the exchange; this is also the reason why the sales of cold wallets surged after the FTX incident.

3. Carefully identify all links
There are often various "welfare links" and "airdrop links", and every popular project will also have many phishing links similar to the official links. If you do not distinguish carefully, it is easy to authorize the wallet or Leak some information.
Moreover, many hackers of Web3 will use some very simple methods-directly hack official or Mod social media accounts, and then log on to send some phishing links (this is also known as the three major hackers' hackers, along with cross-chain bridges and oracles. cash machine); if no other official personnel find out in time, it will lead to the theft of many user assets or information. If you can do not click on the link randomly, then you have avoided 80% of the risk.

4. Be cautious when signing your wallet
Metamask made a very practical update in July, that is, it will update the UI for the NFT contract authorization function, let everyone know the operation intention of the signature more clearly, and reduce the risk of being cheated-before that, users could not It is more intuitive to judge the content of signature and authorization. As much as possible, the wallet only interacts with items that have been judged and considered safe; once the item that has been interacted with is found to be stolen, it is necessary to cancel the authorization as soon as possible through revoke.cash, etc.

5. Use (authorize) trustworthy applications and plug-ins
Most of the problems in this part are in the "clipboard". I am afraid that no one will choose to type out the irregular alphanumeric combination of private key and address one by one, and some applications or plug-ins will read and record the content copied by the user, which will easily lead to the leakage of the private key.

6. Close DM (private message)
Private message you some so-called "Airdrop", lottery link, or pretend to be an official to send you some benefits (they will change the ID and avatar exactly the same as the official, send you a fake link, or induce you to withdraw), this kind of Scams mostly happen on Discord or Telegram—basically no official personnel will private message you, and there is no white pie in the world (Project Discord famous saying: We will never DM you).

7. If an asset leak occurs accidentally, abandon the wallet as soon as possible
Once any assets in the wallet are leaked, it should be discarded immediately, and there should be no fluke mentality. The reason behind the leakage of wallet assets is basically that the private key or mnemonic word was leaked at a certain moment, and it may even be a few months ago, but it was only a few months later that the hacker remembered to withdraw the assets.

8. Beware of some "courses"
Web3 has a threshold, and the difficulty is that there is currently no systematic learning path. There are many courses on the Internet, but the quality of the courses and the level of the lecturers are mixed. It is very likely that the adulterated knowledge is mixed with the real learning. If there are some false links or orders among the real and effective information, it is easy to deceive a large number of novice users.

9. Focus more on areas you are good at
There are so many subdivisions involved in the whole Web3, such as DID, Gamefi, PFP, DAO, etc., it is difficult for us to study each field thoroughly. The transfer of Web3 hotspots is very fast, but for unfamiliar fields, we must properly allocate funds when chasing hot spots, and remember not to be All In; similarly, we can allocate more funds to familiar fields.

10. Read "From 0 to 1: Mastering NFT"
"From 0 to 1: Proficient in NFT" can be placed at the beginning to help everyone have a preliminary concept of the Web3 circle and raise everyone's interest in NFT; it can also be placed when you have already stepped into the NFT circle to help them take a step forward. Improve the understanding of the entire NFT industry and even the Web3 ecology.
As I said, there is not yet a complete learning path for the whole circle; but this 18 w word booklet (still being updated) will definitely help you generate your own understanding. Many enthusiastic people in the industry are using their own methods to help outsiders open the door to the Web3 world and help people in the circle climb to high places—if one day they get tired during the climbing process, the Labs community can also serve as a In the shade, for all the friends of Web3 to rest.
