Security

Best practices for securing your Nethxeum.

Critical Security Reminder

Never share your seed mnemonic or private keys with anyone. Nethxeum team members will NEVER ask for your keys.

Wallet Security

  • 1. Backup your seed: Write down your 25-word mnemonic on paper. Store in a secure, fireproof location. Never digitally.
  • 2. Strong password: Use a unique, strong password for your wallet. Consider a password manager.
  • 3. Verify addresses: Always verify recipient addresses carefully before sending.
  • 4. Use subaddresses: Generate new subaddresses for each recipient to prevent address reuse.
  • 5. Run your own node: For maximum privacy, run a full node rather than using remote nodes.

Network Security

  • Tor support: Route your node through Tor for IP-level anonymity. Use --tx-proxy and --anonymous-inbound flags.
  • I2P support: Alternative anonymity network supported by the daemon.
  • Dandelion++: Transaction relay protocol that prevents origin tracking at the network layer.
  • Firewall: Only open required ports (18333 P2P, 18331 RPC if needed).
  • Stay updated: Always run the latest version for security patches.
