🚨 Safety & Security 🛡️ 👀

Protecting your digital assets and identity is crucial in the Web3 space. This guide provides essential security practices to keep your EvoNext account safe.

Your seed phrase is the master key to your digital identity. Never share it with anyone, including website forms or support staff.

Keep your devices secure with strong passwords, biometric authentication, and regular security updates.
Critical Security Reminder

NEVER share your 12 or 24-word seed phrase with anyone! EvoNext staff will never ask for your seed phrase.

Seed Phrase Best Practices​

What is a Seed Phrase?​

A seed phrase (also known as a recovery phrase or mnemonic phrase) is a list of 12 or 24 words that stores all the information needed to recover your crypto wallet. Anyone with access to your seed phrase has control over your assets.

Protection Strategies​

Golden Rules

✅ Write down your seed phrase on paper and store it in multiple secure physical locations ✅ Consider using a fireproof and waterproof safe or safety deposit box ✅ Use phrases only meaningful to you when writing them down (avoid exact order) ✅ Consider splitting your seed phrase and storing parts in different locations

❌ Never store your seed phrase digitally (photos, notes apps, cloud storage) ❌ Never share your seed phrase with anyone, even if they claim to be from support ❌ Never enter your seed phrase on any website or application except your official wallet ❌ Never use the same seed phrase across different applications or platforms

Password Management​

Choosing a Password Manager​

Our recommended password manager. Open source, audited, and offers a reliable free tier for personal use.

Has a history of security exploits. If you currently use LastPass, we strongly recommend migrating to a more secure alternative.

1Password and KeePass are also viable alternatives with strong security records.

Setting Up Bitwarden​

  1. Download Bitwarden for your devices
  2. Create your account with a strong, unique master password
  3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) immediately
  4. Install browser extensions for autofill convenience
  5. Import any existing passwords from other managers
Master Password Security

Your Bitwarden master password should be:

  • At least 12-15 characters long
  • Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
  • Completely unique and not used anywhere else

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)​

Recommended 2FA Methods​

Consider using a physical security key like YubiKey or Google Titan for the highest level of protection.

Use authenticator apps like Authy, Google Authenticator, or Aegis instead of SMS-based 2FA when possible.

Device Security​

Securing Your Devices​

  • Keep your operating system and applications updated
  • Use reputable antivirus/antimalware software
  • Enable full-disk encryption (FileVault for Mac, BitLocker for Windows)
  • Use strong passcodes on mobile devices
  • Enable "find my device" features for recovery
  • Avoid public Wi-Fi networks when accessing sensitive accounts

Phishing Protection​

Recognizing Phishing Attempts​

Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information by disguising as a trustworthy entity.

Watch Out For
  • Unsolicited messages asking for personal information
  • Urgent or threatening language to create panic
  • Slightly misspelled domain names (evonext.app vs evonnext.app)
  • Unexpected email attachments or links
  • Requests to "verify your account" via external links

Verification Steps​

  1. Always verify URLs directly rather than clicking links in messages
  2. Check for HTTPS encryption (padlock icon) in your browser
  3. Bookmark important sites to ensure you're visiting the correct address
  4. When in doubt, contact support through official channels only

Recovery Planning​

Creating a Recovery Plan​

Create detailed instructions for your loved ones on how to access your accounts if needed.

Consider crypto inheritance solutions to ensure your assets are accessible according to your wishes.

Emergency Measures​

If you believe your account has been compromised:

  1. Immediately move funds to a new wallet with a new seed phrase
  2. Reset all passwords associated with your account
  3. Enable additional security measures
  4. Review account activity for unauthorized transactions
  5. Report suspicious activity to the platform
