Question 1 of 6Where does your seed phrase belong?

Anything digital can be copied, hacked, or accidentally synced — paper and steel cannot.
Question 2 of 6Alleged support asks for your seed phrase for "verification". What do you do?

No one legitimate ever needs your seed phrase — whoever asks is fraud. No exceptions.
Question 3 of 6bc1q address or bc1p address — does it matter?

bc1q is native SegWit (version 0, bech32), bc1p is Taproot (version 1, bech32m) — each with its own checksum.
Question 4 of 6An Ethereum address is entirely lowercase. What does that mean?

With EIP-55 the checksum lives in capitalization. Lowercase = formally fine, but typos go unnoticed.
Question 5 of 6First large transfer to a new address. Correct approach:

The test transfer proves you control the address — only then follows the rest. On-chain there is no undo.
Question 6 of 6Where do you take the recipient address from?

Poisoning addresses deliberately resemble real ones in prefix and suffix. Only the fully verified address from your address book is safe.

0–2 correct: foundations first.

No reason to worry — but please don't self-custody real funds yet. Start with the guides; the world will look different afterwards.

3–4 correct: on the right track.

Solid foundation — now make it practical: check real addresses in the validator and set up cleanly in the Wallet Generator. The checklist keeps you on course afterwards.

5–6 correct: rock solid.

Strong — but stay alert: the quiz tests a minimum standard, not fitness for real funds. Challenge someone or talk about bigger plans.

Knowledge · Scoring

How scoring works

Each question counts one point, no partial credit, no time limit. 0–2 points means: understand first, then custody. 3–4 points means: foundation solid, now practice. 5–6 points means: everyday-ready — but no free pass for real funds.

All questions test timeless protocol knowledge (BIP39, address formats, scams) — no prices, no gas fees, nothing that expires tomorrow. Deep dive: How a wallet actually works and the Self-Custody Checklist.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are my answers stored or transmitted?
No. Scoring runs locally on your device via JavaScript — no backend, no tracking, no cookies.
Does a good result replace advice?
No. The quiz tests a minimum everyday standard, not fitness for real funds. It is an educational tool, not financial advice.
Can I share the quiz?
Yes — "Share result" copies your score to pass on. Nothing is transmitted; what you share is your decision.
