# Security and Risks

### General Risks in DeFi

In a new and unregulated space, it is important to secure one's assets and be vigilant of the constant attempts by bad actors to get their hands on your money. Here are a few things to look out for:

* Never share your seed phrase (including the QR code from your wallet)
* Avoid downloading content from suspicious sources as they might contain Keyloggers which will copy the info to your wallet and give scammers access to your money
* Always ensure that you are aware of which smart contracts you are allowing to interact with your wallet and what they are intended to do
* If someone sends you an unsolicited private message on Discord or Telegram, do not click on any links they might send you, and do not share your screen with them
