Local control
Access is your responsibility
Create and unlock access locally, and make sure you know how to recover it before moving serious funds.
Security
Security starts before the first transfer.
A self-custody wallet is only as safe as the habits around it. WEB4 Wallet now publishes the core trust rules in public: what local control means, how to think about backup, and what support should never ask from you.
Security posture
What to understand before you rely on the wallet.
WEB4 Wallet is built around self-custody. That is powerful, but it also means your recovery data, device hygiene and transaction verification process matter more than slogans.
Support boundary
Support never needs secret data
No legitimate support flow requires your seed phrase, password or screenshots of sensitive recovery data.
Send discipline
Every transfer needs a network check
Confirm the chain, the address format, the asset and the fee asset before you send.
Minimum launch checklist
Do these before you trust the setup.
Security is procedural. These are the minimum habits that lower avoidable mistakes.
- Write your recovery phrase offline and keep it out of screenshots, notes sync and chat apps.
- Use a strong device password and keep the operating system and browser updated.
- Verify the destination address and the exact network every time you send.
- Test with a small amount first when you use a new network or a new recipient.
- Never trust urgent requests that pressure you to reveal secret wallet data.
Security becomes real when backup and recovery are real.
Do not stop at reading the policy page. Walk through the backup and recovery guides before you depend on the wallet with meaningful funds.
