# Crypto safety tips
## You control your crypto — which means you’re responsible for keeping it safe
Crypto gives you more control, but that also means more responsibility. Here’s how to stay safe:
- **Start small**
- Use amounts you’re comfortable learning with.
- **Double-check everything**
- Once you send crypto, it can’t be undone. Always confirm the address and network before sending.
- **Take your time**
- Rushing causes mistakes
- **Watch for scams**
- If any of these sound familiar, you might be getting scammed:
- You’re being pressured into making an account.
- A caller, text, or email is pressuring you to act “right now”
- Someone is asking you to screen share
- You're being told to buy crypto for someone else
- Someone is asking you to move funds to a “safe” or “investment” account
- **Use security tools**
- Modern wallets, like RockWallet, use secure tools like passkeys and multi-party computation (MPC) to help keep your account safe.

#### **Final thoughts**
Crypto is a new kind of money, built for the internet. It’s real, it’s legal, and it’s already being used around the world.
It may work differently than what you’re used to, but with a little knowledge, you’ll be ready to explore it with confidence.
