You can keep your own private keys and create cold storage. This is to eliminate counter-party risks such as centralized exchanges.

1.) To make your own cold storage, create your own wallet on a clean device.

(it’s worth it to use a fresh install on a clean drive or a new device)

2.) Write down the seed phrase (keep it to yourself, find a safe way to store it).

In Phantom wallet, click the right coin and then you can copy the deposit address or use the QR code.

3.) Email yourself the wallet address for Solana and Ethereum

4.) Send a test transaction. Check the balance with a block explorer.

5.) Send the rest of the Solana then delete the wallet.

Your balance can be checked from any device without a wallet using the address and a block explorer.

Any time you need these funds, you can restore the wallet from your secret seed phrase using any device.

When accessing those funds, use your dedicated clean device. Consider it your crypto-punk console.

Add new wallets in your wallet to organize your stack. Always use small amounts when trying new protocols or liquidity pools. http://phantom.app works with SOL and ETH.

These risk management habits can help navigate the Solana and Ethereum eco-systems.

Solana and Ethereum are tools to strategically build your Bitcoin positions over time. $BTC can be stored in the Coinbase wallet which is similar to Phantom.

Thank you for reading!

For $SOL, $ETH, and ERC-20 tokens, you can use http://phantom.app
