Biggest Risks to Avoid with Aptos Paper Wallets

Paper wallets are simple, secure, and offline β€” but not bulletproof. Here's how to avoid the common traps that put your APT in danger.

πŸ“Έ 1. Sharing Photos of Your Wallet

Sounds obvious, right? Yet it happens all the time. A single picture can expose your private key β€” and your APT is gone forever.

🌍 2. Using Online Generators

Even if the generator looks legit, it may be logging your data. Always use trusted tools offline. Never paste your keys anywhere.

πŸ–¨οΈ 3. Printing on Shared or Cloud Printers

Your home or office printer may store history. Avoid shared environments β€” print on a clean, local, disconnected device.

πŸ“‚ 4. Forgetting Where You Stored It

It’s a paper wallet, not a software one. If you lose the paper, you lose everything. Use backups and secure documentation.

πŸ’£ 5. Leaving It Unprotected

A drawer isn’t protection. Fire, water, and even pets can destroy it. Treat it like cash β€” or even better.

Stay vigilant. Crypto rewards those who think ahead, not those who get lazy with their storage.
