[CZ Releases Crypto Asset Custody Guidelines, Advises Choosing Custody Methods Based on Asset Scale and Technical Capability] BlockBeats News, October 11 — Binance founder CZ released a simplified version of crypto asset custody guidelines, recommending users match security measures to their holding scale and technical capabilities, while focusing on three key issues: preventing asset theft, avoiding accidental loss, and planning asset inheritance in advance. For self-custody, CZ advises users to store private keys on offline devices, use reliable hardware wallets, verify transaction addresses, and set up multiple offsite backups. He also warns against saving keys via photos or screenshots to prevent them from syncing to the cloud and causing leaks. Regarding asset inheritance, users should establish secure recovery plans in advance, avoiding direct sharing of keys or storing recovery information in unencrypted formats. For centralized trading platforms, CZ recommends users evaluate the platform's reputation, security capabilities, and business model, while strengthening account protection through measures such as using independent email addresses, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, hardware security keys, and withdrawal address whitelists. He also cautions users to be vigilant against phishing attacks and API credential leaks. Furthermore, CZ suggests users reasonably allocate assets between centralized trading platforms and personal wallets based on their technical capabilities, security management levels, and funding usage needs. Self-custody requires users to independently bear the responsibility of private key protection and asset recovery, while custody on trading platforms involves platform credibility and counterparty risks. Maintaining an independent wallet can also help ensure access to assets during platform maintenance or service interruptions. [Original Link]
