# How to Set Up a Wallet

### Your Wallet, Your Crypto

In **DeFi (Decentralized Finance)**, you have full control over your crypto assets. Your funds remain in your personal wallet, and only you have access to them. Before setting up a wallet, always follow these security best practices:

✅ **Never share your recovery phrase** – No one should ever ask for it.\
✅ **Never enter your recovery phrase on unverified websites or apps** – Only use it in your wallet app for secure imports.\
✅ **Be cautious of phishing scams** – Fake websites, giveaways, and other malicious activities can steal your funds.\
✅ **Download wallets only from official sources** – Always ensure you're using the latest version.\
✅ **Backup your recovery phrase securely** – Preferably offline, in a safe place.
