Hey there, GQ here!
We talk a lot about owning your assets in Web3 games like CraftWorld. You spend time collecting DynoCoin and valuable resource tokens, and acquiring NFT Dynos. This is your hard-earned wealth. But all the power that the blockchain gives you comes with full responsibility for your own security.
In Web3, there’s no bank or customer support to recover your lost assets. Your main fortress is your crypto wallet.
This article is your practical guide to helping you protect your NFTs and tokens from scammers and accidental mistakes.
1. Your Wallet: The Three Pillars of Security
A crypto wallet isn’t a storage facility; it’s an access key to your assets on the blockchain. For games on Ronin, such as CraftWorld, you’re likely using Ronin Wallet or MetaMask.
🔑 Pillar 1: The Secret Recovery Phrase (Seed Phrase)
This is your master key. The Secret Phrase consists of 12 or 24 words.
- What it is: It is the only thing that allows you to restore access to your funds on any device.
- The GQ Rule: NEVER, EVER share this phrase with anyone. NEVER store it digitally (on your phone, in the cloud, or in your email).
- The Practice: Write it down by hand on two separate sheets of paper and store them in safe, physically secure locations (like a safe). If someone learns your phrase, they instantly gain full control over all your DynoCoin, NFT Dynos, and other assets.
🔒 Pillar 2: The Private Key
This is a unique, long alphanumeric code that controls a specific address (account) within your wallet.
- What it is: Essentially, it’s the digital signature required to make transactions from that specific address.
- The GQ Rule: The Private Key is only needed in extreme cases (like importing a single account). It is just as dangerous as the Secret Phrase. If a website asks you to enter it, it’s a scam.
🛡️ Pillar 3: Hardware Wallet (e.g., Ledger or Trezor)
For maximum protection of your NFTs and tokens.
- What it is: A physical device that stores your private key offline. Transactions are signed on the device itself.
- The Practice: For large sums or valuable NFT Dynos, we strongly recommend using a hardware wallet. It ensures that even if your computer is infected with a virus, a scammer cannot sign a transaction without access to your physical device.
2. Scams and How to Avoid Them: The Three “NEVERs”
The main goal of scammers is to trick you into voluntarily handing over your key, not to hack the blockchain.
❌ 1. NEVER Click on Suspicious Links (Phishing)
Phishing is the most common threat. Scammers create fake websites that look exactly like the official pages for CraftWorld, Ronin, or popular NFT marketplaces.
- What it looks like: You receive a message on Discord/Telegram: “Congratulations, you won a rare Dyno! Click here to claim your prize.”
- The GQ Defense: Always verify the URL in the address bar. Your project’s official links should be saved in your bookmarks. If a site asks for your Secret Phrase or Private Key, it is a 100% scam.
❌ 2. NEVER Sign Suspicious Transactions (“Sleep-Minting” and Approvals)
When you interact with a dApp (like buying a resource on the CraftWorld DEX), your wallet asks for a signature or an approval.
- Specific Danger: Be wary of requests for “Set Approval For All”. This grants the smart contract the right to permanently transfer all of your NFTs or tokens (e.g., all your ERC-20 resources) without your repeated permission.
- The GQ Defense: Read carefully what you are signing. If you are simply swapping Earth for DynoCoin, ensure your wallet is not asking for permission to “move all your NFTs.” If you have any doubt, click “Reject”.
❌ 3. NEVER Trust “Technical Support” in Private Messages
Staff from Games Quality Zone, Ronin, or CraftWorld will NEVER message you privately to ask for your Secret Phrase for a “verification” or “recovery assistance.”
- What it looks like: “Your wallet has been blocked. I’m from Ronin support. Enter your phrase here so I can unblock your assets.”
- The GQ Defense: If you have an issue, only use the OFFICIAL support channels listed on the official website or Discord (via a ticket system).
3. Practical Tips for CraftWorld Players
📈 Asset Management
In CraftWorld, all your resources (Earth, Fire, Concrete) are ERC-20 tokens.
- Don’t Keep Everything in One Address: For maximum security, use a “Hot Wallet” (connected to your browser) for daily, small transactions and gameplay. Store the bulk of your valuable NFTs and accumulated DynoCoin on a “Cold Wallet” (i.e., a hardware device).
- Regularly Review Permissions: Use services like Revoke.cash or Etherscan (or the Ronin explorer for Ronin) to regularly revoke old and unused “Set Approval For All” permissions that you may have granted to dApps in the past.
💻 Device Security
- Dedicated Browser: If possible, use a separate browser (like Brave or Firefox) designated only for Web3 operations (games, marketplaces, DEXs).
- Antivirus: Always use reliable antivirus software and regularly update your operating system.
🔥 Conclusion: Play Web3 Smart
Asset ownership is a powerful Web3 privilege, and it’s what makes games like CraftWorld so engaging and meaningful.
To enjoy your hard-earned NFT Dynos and resources, remember the golden rule: Your Secret Phrase is your life. Protect it, and you will never lose your assets.
