Maintaining robust personal operational security (OpSec) is your primary defense when interacting with decentralized applications on Monad.

1. Protecting Your Private Keys & Seed Phrases

  • Never Share Seed Phrases: No member of the Priest.trade team will ever ask you for your private key, seed phrase, or password. Anyone asking for these credentials is an attacker.
  • Privy Embedded Wallets: If using social/email login with Privy, protect your underlying email and social accounts with strong unique passwords and Hardware Security Keys (YubiKey) or Authenticator App 2FA (avoid SMS 2FA).
  • Key Export Safety: If exporting your private key from Privy to an external extension like Rabby or MetaMask, do so on a private, malware-free machine.

2. Token Approval Hygiene

When trading or using Counterflow:
  • You will approve the PerpesEngine or CounterflowVault contract to transfer your USDC.
  • Verify Contract Addresses: Always check that the contract you are approving matches the official deployments listed in Contract Deployments.
  • Revoke Allowances: If taking an extended break from trading, use tools like Revoke.cash on Monad to reset unused token approvals to zero.

3. Phishing & Domain Verification

  • Official Domain: Always verify that the URL in your browser address bar is exactly: https://priest.trade
  • Beware of phishing domains with subtle typos (e.g. prlest.trade, priest-trade.com).
  • Bookmark the official site and access it exclusively through your bookmarks.
  • Never click unverified direct links sent to you in Telegram or Discord direct messages (DMs).
