How operationally prepared are you for crypto? Check off what you've done and see where you stand.

What this helps with

Assesses your crypto readiness across security, recovery, knowledge, and best practices. Helps you identify what to improve.

What this does NOT do

Access your accounts, audit your actual wallet, or guarantee your security. This is a self-assessment tool.

Security Hygiene

I use unique passwords for each crypto service

Reusing passwords is one of the biggest security risks.

I have 2FA enabled on all exchange accounts

Two-factor authentication adds a critical second layer.

I know how to identify phishing attempts

Phishing is the most common attack vector in crypto.

I bookmark official crypto sites instead of searching

Search results can include phishing ads.

Wallet Readiness

I have a self-custody wallet set up

Not your keys, not your crypto.

I've done a test transaction

Testing with a small amount builds confidence.

I understand gas fees and how they work

Gas fees are the cost of using a blockchain.

I separate hot and cold storage

Keep large holdings in cold storage.

Recovery Readiness

My seed phrase is backed up offline

Never store seed phrases digitally.

I've verified my seed phrase backup works

Test recovery before you need it.

I have a plan if my device is lost or stolen

Know what to do before an emergency.

A trusted person knows how to access my crypto if needed

Estate planning for digital assets.

Network Understanding

I understand the difference between chains

Ethereum, Polygon, Solana — different networks, different rules.

I know which chains are EVM-compatible

EVM chains share the same address format.

I understand bridging risks

Bridges connect chains but add risk.

I know about token standards (ERC-20, SPL, etc.)

Different standards on different chains.

Tax Readiness

I track my transactions for tax purposes

Record-keeping is essential.

I use or plan to use crypto tax software

Software makes tax reporting manageable.

I know what triggers a taxable event

Swaps, sales, and some other actions create tax obligations.

I track my cost basis

Cost basis determines your gain or loss.

Exchange Practices

I use regulated exchanges

Regulation provides some consumer protection.

I don't keep all my crypto on exchanges

Self-custody reduces counter-party risk.

I've tested withdrawing from my exchange

Know how to move your crypto off-exchange.

I've checked my exchange's proof of reserves

Verify your exchange actually holds the assets.

Approval Hygiene

I review token approvals before signing

Understand what you're approving.

I set specific amounts instead of unlimited approvals

Unlimited approvals are a major risk.

I periodically revoke old approvals

Old approvals to unused contracts are unnecessary risk.

I read wallet prompts before clicking approve

Don't blindly approve — read first.
