Wallet Safety
1. Introduction
This Wallet Safety page applies to wallet-related information, compatible non-custodial wallet software, wallet tools, wallet guides and wallet resources made available through Football Goal Coin.org.
Football Goal Coin.org is a community-led, non-commercial information and software project for the FGC Ecosystem.
This page is provided to help users understand the responsibilities and risks connected to non-custodial wallets and self-custody.
2. What Is a Non-Custodial Wallet?
A non-custodial wallet is a wallet where the user controls their own wallet access, recovery phrase, private keys, passwords, devices and security.
This means the user has control, but also responsibility.
Football Goal Coin.org does not hold user funds, store private keys, store recovery phrases, control user wallets, recover lost wallets, reverse blockchain activity or move FGC on behalf of users.
3. Your Recovery Phrase
Your recovery phrase is one of the most important parts of wallet safety.
If someone else gets access to your recovery phrase, they may be able to access your wallet.
You should:
-
Keep your recovery phrase private
-
Store your recovery phrase securely
-
Keep a backup in a safe place
-
Avoid storing it only on a phone, laptop or email account
-
Never send it through a contact form, message, email or social media
-
Never enter it into an unknown website, app or pop-up
Football Goal Coin.org will never ask you to provide your recovery phrase.
4. Private Keys and Passwords
Private keys and wallet passwords should be protected carefully.
You should never share private keys, wallet passwords or wallet access details with anyone.
If private keys, passwords or devices are lost, stolen, damaged, shared or entered into a fake website, access to FGC or other digital assets may be permanently lost.
5. Download Safety
Users should only download wallet software from official or clearly verified sources.
Before downloading any wallet software, check that:
-
The website address is correct
-
The download link is official
-
The app or file name looks correct
-
The source has not been sent through a suspicious message
-
You are not using a fake website, advert or impersonation link
Fake wallet apps and fake download pages can be used to steal recovery phrases, private keys or wallet access.
6. Phishing and Scam Risks
Wallet users may be targeted by phishing websites, fake apps, scam links, impersonation accounts, fake support messages, malware, social engineering and fraudulent websites.
Be careful of anyone who asks you to:
-
Share your recovery phrase
-
Share your private key
-
Connect your wallet to an unknown website
-
Download a suspicious file
-
Pay a fee to unlock wallet access
-
Send FGC or crypto to verify your wallet
-
Act quickly because of a supposed urgent issue
If something looks suspicious, stop and check before taking action.
7. Checking Wallet Addresses
Blockchain activity may be irreversible.
Before sending FGC or any digital asset, carefully check the wallet address, network details and any other information shown in the wallet.
A mistake may result in permanent loss.
Football Goal Coin.org cannot reverse blockchain activity, recover lost FGC or correct user mistakes.
8. Device Security
Wallet safety also depends on device security.
Users should take reasonable steps to protect their phone, computer, browser and internet connection.
This may include:
-
Keeping devices updated
-
Using strong passwords
-
Using screen locks
-
Avoiding suspicious downloads
-
Avoiding public or unsafe Wi-Fi for wallet activity
-
Using security software where appropriate
-
Protecting email accounts linked to wallet access
-
Being careful with browser extensions
If a device is compromised, wallet access may be at risk.
9. Backups
Users should keep secure backups of important wallet information.
A backup should be stored in a safe place and protected from theft, fire, water damage, accidental loss and unauthorised access.
Do not rely on memory alone.
Do not store your recovery phrase in a place where others can easily find it.
10. No Recovery Service
Football Goal Coin.org does not provide a wallet recovery service.
If you lose your recovery phrase, private keys, password or device access, Football Goal Coin.org may not be able to help you recover your wallet.
Non-custodial wallet users are responsible for protecting their own wallet access and recovery information.
11. Third-Party Wallets and Services
Football Goal Coin.org may provide information about compatible wallets or links to third-party wallet resources.
Third-party wallets and services are separate from Football Goal Coin.org and may have their own terms, privacy policies, fees, risks, technical requirements and support procedures.
Users should carefully review any third-party wallet or service before using it.
12. Things Football Goal Coin.org Will Not Ask For
Football Goal Coin.org will not ask you to provide:
-
Your recovery phrase
-
Your private key
-
Your wallet password
-
Remote access to your device
-
Payment to recover a wallet
-
FGC or crypto to verify wallet ownership
If someone claims to represent Football Goal Coin.org and asks for these details, treat it as suspicious.
13. User Responsibility
Users are responsible for their own wallet access, recovery phrase, private keys, passwords, devices, security and decisions.
Self-custody gives users control, but it also means users must take care.
Users should only use wallet software if they understand the risks and are willing to take responsibility for their own wallet safety.
14. Further Information
Users should also read the Wallet Terms, Tools Terms, Risk Warning, Disclaimer and Terms and Conditions before using any wallet-related resource, tool, plugin or external service made available through Football Goal Coin.org.
