What this course covers

Understand how secp256k1 key pairs and BIP-39 seed phrases actually work

Select a hardware wallet based on security certification, connectivity, and threat model

Identify specific risks in MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, and exchange accounts

Recognize phishing, SIM swaps, address poisoning, and clipboard hijackers before they hit

Implement step-by-step defenses: steel seed backups, SLIP-39, hardware 2FA, revoke.cash

Who this is for

Individual holders

Anyone self-custodying Bitcoin, ETH, or other assets worth protecting

Fund managers and advisers

Entities navigating the 2025-2026 custody compliance requirements

This course is not for people who want theory without application. Every module ends with specific actions. If you finish it and don't change at least three things about how you store or manage keys, you weren't paying attention.
