Crypto can feel like the Wild West—full of opportunity but also a few hidden traps. Do not worry; we are here to help. At Mundo, we believe that with the right knowledge and tools, anyone can navigate the crypto world confidently. Let us walk through five common mistakes and how you can avoid them, step by step.

1. Losing Access to Your PassKeys

Your passkeys are like the key to your personal safe. Lose them, and your funds are gone forever. Too many people write down their keys on a sticky note, only to misplace it—or worse, save it on their computer where it is vulnerable to hacks.
This is why we have to always back up our keys in a safe place. Think of it like your house key: you might have a spare hidden securely, but you do not give it to strangers or leave it in plain sight.
Mundo walks you through safely storing your recovery phrase, so you are prepared for anything. Plus, with features like account abstraction, your wallet continues to stay protected but with an easier path .

2. Falling for Scams and Phishing Attacks

Scammers are crafty. They send emails that look official, tricking people into sharing their private keys or wallet details. Once they have access, your funds are gone, and there is no customer service to call.

Let’s never share your private passkeys or seed phrase—ever. Double-check links and emails, and only interact with official apps and websites. Think of it like a knock at your door; you do not let strangers in without verifying who they are.

3. Sending Crypto to the Wrong Address

Crypto addresses are long and complicated, so it is easy to make a typo. Unfortunately, if you send funds to the wrong address, they are gone for good. There are no refunds or reversals in crypto.

Always double-check wallet addresses. Copy and paste them carefully, and compare the first and last few characters to be sure they match.

4. Keeping All Your Funds in One Wallet

Putting all your crypto in one wallet—especially a hot wallet connected to the internet—is risky. If that wallet is compromised, you could lose everything.
Spread out your assets. Use a hot wallet for daily transactions and a cold wallet (offline storage) for your long-term savings. Think of it like keeping spending money in your pocket but locking your savings in a safe at home.
Mundo’s non-custodial wallet is perfect for everyday use, and we make it easy to transfer funds to a cold wallet when you need extra security. You get the best of both worlds: convenience and safety.

5. Ignoring Gas Fees and Transaction Costs

Many blockchain transactions come with a fee (called gas). These fees fluctuate depending on how busy the network is, and if you do not plan, you could pay more than necessary—or worse, your transaction could get stuck.
Always check the gas fees before confirming a transaction. Try to send funds during off-peak times to save money and avoid delays.

Mundo provides clear, upfront gas fee estimates for every transaction. You will never be caught off guard, and with our simple interface, you can optimize costs with just a few taps.

Why This Matters: Learn From Others’ Mistakes

Let us face it: crypto is exciting, but it is not without risks. Every mistake here has cost someone their hard-earned money. Maybe it was someone who lost their savings because they clicked on the wrong link or sent funds to the wrong address. Maybe it was someone who relied on a single wallet and woke up to find it hacked.
