Woke up? Eyes crusty? Charts red?
Perfect. You’re exactly where you need to be.
But before you go aping into some coin that sounds like a joke your cousin would make at a BBQ, let’s clean up something more important than your portfolio:
Your wallet.
I’m talking about wallet hygiene—a concept most degens ignore until their funds mysteriously vanish or a token approval eats them alive.
So today’s education hit comes with coffee and cold truth:
What is Wallet Hygiene?
It’s the crypto version of brushing your teeth and taking out the trash—except the trash can rug you.
1. Revoke Token Approvals
Remember that shady dApp you connected to in 2022 for an “airdrop”?
Yeah. It might still have permission to move tokens from your wallet.
Go to:
https://revoke.cash
Connect your wallet.
Kill old approvals like you’re cleansing bad exes from your phone.
2. Don’t Use One Wallet for Everything
Segregate your sins.
-
Use a hot wallet for minting, claiming, testing.
-
Use a cold wallet for holding actual value.
-
Use burner wallets when you’re about to do something dumb and experimental (which you will).
3. Protect Your Seed Phrase Like It’s a Map to Buried Treasure
Because it is.
Never screenshot it.
Never store it in your email.
Never whisper it in your sleep while drunk on Discord.
4. Clean the Ghosts
Got random tokens you didn’t buy?
They’re probably scams.
Don’t touch them.
Don’t trade them.
Don’t interact.
They’re bait. They’re poisoned apples. Let them rot.
5. Learn from Your Mistakes
We’ve all signed something we shouldn’t have.
But each error is a scar—and scars are armor if you wear them right.
That’s it. That’s your early-morning ritual.
Before you chase that new meme coin, clean your wallet.
Before you bridge to that sketchy chain, ask yourself if the 5 percent APR is worth your entire bag.
Take care of your keys.
Take care of your habits.
And this space might just reward you for not being the dumbest person on-chain.
Stay sharp, stay weird,
– A.B. Gobling
