<p>To secure their digital assets, Mr. Buterin emphasizes the importance of multi-sig crypto wallets. He reveals that he uses this method for over 90% of his assets.</p>
<p>In this system, control of funds is distributed among multiple parties, called “keys.” This is referred to as the “M of N” approach, where the user holds certain keys while others are entrusted to trustworthy third parties, thus forming a decentralized security network.</p>
<p>Buterin also advises not to disclose the identity of these trusted third parties to each other, adding an additional layer of privacy and security.</p>
<p>This approach underscores the importance of enhanced security in the crypto universe, where asset protection is an absolute priority.</p>

<p>Watts alerts to scenarios where users inadvertently compromise their security, such as losing seed phrases or hastily moving without access to essential components.</p>
<p>“<em>When using a hardware wallet, the greatest risk is oneself</em>,“ he says, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and responsible storage practices.</p>
<p>This warning underlines that even the safest hardware wallets can have vulnerabilities related to the user.</p>
