Questions worth answering before you begin

In a self-custody setup, access is governed by wallet credentials. Assets are recorded on their relevant blockchains, not in the displayed mock wallet balance.

Network access is needed to fetch chain data and broadcast transactions. Offline key storage and signing arrangements vary by setup.

Write it down offline, verify its order, keep it private and never enter it into websites or support chats.

A private key can authorize an account. A recovery phrase can derive or restore multiple keys depending on the wallet implementation.

With a correct recovery phrase and compatible software, wallet access can often be restored. Check addresses and networks afterward.

Confirm its network and contract address from a trusted source. The name USDT alone is not enough.

Check the intended chain, the full destination address, the amount, fees and the transaction or approval details.

Inspect the full domain, ignore unsolicited links and review app permissions. The page here is a safety information entry point, not a verified installer.

Urgent requests for recovery phrases, unfamiliar approval screens and lookalike domains are red flags. Stop and verify independently.
