Control and responsibility

A wallet address can be shared to receive an asset. A private key or recovery phrase controls the wallet and must remain secret. CoinPork support will never ask for either one.

Custodial services can help with account recovery, while self-custody gives the holder more control and more responsibility. Neither structure eliminates risk.

Networks matter

The same asset name can exist on several networks. A destination must support both the asset and the exact network used for the transfer.

  • Copy the address instead of retyping it.
  • Confirm the asset and network on both sides.
  • Use a small test transfer when practical.
  • Treat a completed blockchain transfer as difficult or impossible to reverse.
