6/6 — Setting up your first wallet (testnet) — Check your understanding
Key points
- Seed safety:Why are photos or cloud notes of the seed risky even if deleted later? They can sync to the cloud or be recovered; paper in private is safer.
- Network check:How do you confirm you are on Sepolia (testnet) before sending? Look for the testnet label and chain ID 11155111.
- Explorer truth:If the wallet UI glitches, how do you prove a balance independently? Open the address on a block explorer and read the balance/tx there.
- Restore check:After a restore, what do you compare to confirm you got the right wallet? Match the first/last 4 characters of the restored address.
- Faucet safety:What do you do if a “faucet” asks for real ETH? Close it; real faucets are free.
