Worth repeating: a compromised site can look exactly like the real one. No website needs your seed phrase. If one asks, leave. Before you sign, check the address on your wallet, not just on the page.

Call me paranoid, but be extra careful visiting ANY web site in the next few days, as some web admins are not always up-to-date with security patches. Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) reported for PHP, the web programming language, affecting servers running popular apps like WordPress and Magento, with patches released October 21, 2026 after details leaked early. Exploitation was confirmed in the wild soon after disclosure, prompting quick WAF protections and patching by IT teams, as unauthenticated attacks could turn visited sites into vectors for credential theft or device exploits. Stay SAFU!

Custody is a valid choice. But the trade-off is clear: someone else holds the keys. Self-custody means you control the keys. You also take responsibility for the backup. We build for those who choose both.

Coinbase will convert any GYEN still on the platform to USDC from Oct 26. Its own notice says: to keep it as GYEN, move it to a self-custody wallet before then. Check your wallet supports GYEN on the same network before you send. See full breakdown: ellipal.com/blogs/guides-com…

Seed phrase backup: paper or steel? Our pick: steel, plus a second offline copy in a different place.

Same lure: a fake alert, then a box for your seed phrase. This hurts everyone who holds their own keys, whichever wallet they use. If any alert, banner or message asks for your seed phrase, don't enter it.

Second wallet maker in two days whose own app notifications were used to phish seed phrases. SecuX, now NGRAVE. The lure: your wallet just synced on a Pixel 9 in Moscow. Fear first, then a box for your 24 words. The only time you type your seed is when you chose to restore a wallet. Never because an alert told you to.

Can your phone replace a hardware wallet? Phone chips store keys well. The gap is the rest of the phone: apps, links and a live connection. A hardware wallet keeps your keys on a device that only signs. See full breakdown: ellipal.com/blogs/security-r…

Can Your Phone Replace a Hardware Wallet?

A phone can store keys but also runs many apps. How a hardware wallet keeps keys on a device that only signs, and what it does not cover.

If anyone gives you a wallet to import, the keys are already theirs. A seed phrase or wallet QR code from a website, a DM or a "support" account works the same way: whoever made it can move the funds. Create a new wallet on your own device instead.

Holding your own keys should stay a private choice. A register of who holds what cuts against the reason people choose self-custody.

Under consideration in France right now: • Crypto-to-stablecoin swaps become taxable • €800k+ portfolio exit tax if you try to leave • Mandatory reporting on self-custody wallets over €100k A centralized government registry of who holds what, right after tax office data leaks and while streets are in full unrest. What could possibly go wrong with home invasions?

This weekend, many asked if a phone can replace a hardware wallet. Our view: let the phone run the app, and keep your keys on a separate device. On ELLIPAL Titan 2.0, you check each transaction on the device's own screen, and it signs offline. ❓What's your setup?

Everyone spent this week asking what's inside their hardware wallet. ELLIPAL X Card keeps the answer short: keys in an EAL6+ secure chip, signing with a tap against your phone, and no screen, battery or port.

A ten minute weekend task: check your on-chain approvals and revoke the ones you no longer use. Each one lets a contract move that token until you revoke it.

Some ask if cold storage still makes sense after the latest supply chain attack. Our view: it does. The attack reportedly needed a wallet opened before it reached its owner. That's why checks at unboxing matter as much as the hardware.

New hardware wallet in the mail? Check three things before setup: - It isn't already set up, and no seed phrase came in the box - The case shows no signs of being opened - You create the seed phrase yourself during setup If anything looks off, stop and contact the maker.
