Complete Security Guide

Comprehensive security guidelines and best practices for protecting your cryptocurrency assets and personal information

Private Key Management

  • •Your private keys are the ultimate authority over your funds. Never share them with anyone, including Scion support staff.
  • •Private keys are stored locally on your device. Scion never has access to or stores your private keys.
  • •If your device is compromised, your private keys could be at risk. Keep your device secure and updated with the latest security patches.

Password Security

  • •Create a strong, unique password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • •Never reuse passwords across different services. If one service is compromised, your other accounts remain secure.
  • •Store your password securely. Consider using a reputable password manager.
  • •Change your password regularly and immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access.

Device Security

  • •Keep your operating system and all software updated with the latest security patches.
  • •Use a reputable antivirus and anti-malware software on your device.
  • •Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for accessing your wallet. Use a VPN if you must use public networks.
  • •Lock your device when not in use and use a strong PIN or biometric authentication.

Phishing Prevention

  • •Always verify you're on the official Scion website before entering credentials. Check the URL carefully.
  • •Be cautious of emails asking you to verify your account or click suspicious links. Scion will never ask for your password via email.
  • •Hover over links to see the actual URL before clicking them.
  • •Use bookmarks or type the URL directly rather than clicking links from emails or messages.

Transaction Safety

  • •Always double-check the recipient address before sending funds. Addresses are case-sensitive.
  • •Start with small transactions to verify the address is correct before sending large amounts.
  • •Be aware of gas fees and set appropriate limits to avoid overpaying.
  • •Never approve transactions from unknown or suspicious sources.

Recovery Procedures

  • •Your seed phrase (recovery words) is your ultimate backup. Write them down and store them in a secure location offline.
  • •Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Anyone with your seed phrase can access all your funds.
  • •Store your seed phrase separately from your device. Consider using a safe deposit box or secure vault.
  • •If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover your wallet using your seed phrase on another device.

Important Reminder

Scion is a non-custodial wallet, which means you have complete control and responsibility for your funds. There is no central authority that can recover lost funds or reset passwords. Always follow these security guidelines to protect your assets. If you have questions or concerns, contact our support team through official channels only.
