In recent days, understandable concerns have arisen about the security of certain digital platforms.
Before drawing conclusions, it is important to understand some basic concepts, especially when discussing self-custody.
When an app refers to self-custody, it usually means that funds exist on the blockchain and are associated with a unique user address, not a traditional bank account.
However, within the concept of self-custody, there can be different implementation models, some more technical and others more focused on improving the user experience.
Many modern applications seek a balance between user sovereignty, ease of use, and access recovery in case of loss.
This balance may involve additional layers of security and management, without necessarily indicating a problem.
During investigations into an incident, the most responsible action for users is to wait for official information, verify it, avoid rumors or hasty conclusions, and refrain from sharing sensitive data with anyone.
A general best practice, valid for any wallet or digital app, is to review transactions, use auditing features when available, and maintain basic digital security habits.
This is not a response to a specific situation, but a general rule in the digital world.
It is also important to remember that the blockchain allows public verification of balances and transactions; technical investigations take time, and responsible communication protects both users and teams.
In such cases, informational prudence is key. Claims without technical basis or confirmed information do not help and may cause unnecessary anxiety.
As a community, the healthiest approach is:
1) To inform ourselves
2) To learn
3) To support one another
4) To allow investigation processes to proceed
Financial and digital literacy is built on knowledge and responsibility. Let's remain attentive, calm, and thoughtful.
