As you venture into the exciting world of Medieval Empires, ensuring your online security is crucial. While the decentralized nature of web3 offers many exciting possibilities, it also requires very high-level vigilance for your safety. Here is a quick guide to help you stay secure as you build your empire and navigate the web3 space.  

Trust only Official Links and Sources  

Trust only our official website and social media accounts for updates and announcements. Our complete list of accounts can be found here: Linktree.  

Avoid clicking on links from unknown emails or messages, as they could lead to phishing sites designed to steal your information. Only use links used in our official communications by the Medieval Empires team. Always check the URL to ensure you’re navigating to a legitimate source. 

Do your Due Diligence 

Regardless of the source, we recommend that you always do your own due diligence before giving out any sensitive information on any channel. Verify the authenticity of requests and information from any channel. This extra step helps protect you from potential scams and ensures that you are interacting with genuine sources. 

Don’t Connect Your Wallet Without Specifying a Spending Cap 

When connecting your wallet to any platform or service, always specify a spending cap. This limits the amount of funds that can be spent or transferred from your wallet, protecting you in case of unauthorized access or malicious transactions. 

Set Up Strong Passwords 

A strong password is your first line of defense. Create passwords that are long, unique, and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Don’t reuse passwords across different sites. Consider using a password manager to keep your credentials safe and organized. 

Keep Your Private Keys Safe 

Your private keys are essential for accessing your digital assets. Never share them with anyone or store them in insecure places. For added security, consider using hardware wallets to keep your private keys offline and protected from online threats. 

Stay Informed About New Threats 

The Web3 landscape is constantly evolving, and new threats can emerge. Stay informed about the latest security trends and scams by following reliable sources and communities. Knowledge is a powerful tool for safeguarding your digital assets. 

Monitor Your Accounts 

Regularly check your Web3 accounts for any unusual activity. If you notice anything suspicious, such as unauthorized transactions or changes to your account details, act quickly. Change your passwords, contact support, and report any suspicious behavior. 

Review Smart Contracts Carefully 

Smart contracts are self-executing agreements with code that can automate various functions. Before interacting with a smart contract, make sure it has been audited and reviewed by trusted parties to avoid vulnerabilities. 

By following these best practices, you can enjoy a secure and exciting experience in Medieval Empires and other Web3 environments. Stay vigilant, keep your assets safe, and enjoy building your empire with confidence!
