Free Wallet Security Checklist (One Page, Printable)

A crypto wallet hygiene checklist is a sheet of habits written in pen. Wallets, exchange logins and wallet apps drift: an app you stopped opening, a login you have not tested since spring, a venue you would not recognize by name next quarter. This printable page holds the cleanup - ten write-in hygiene rows with a date-done column and a Y/N circle, an alias map with three lines for the names you call accounts, and a printed box of three security rules. It is paper for organizing what you already have. Below the sheet sits a checklist with a different target: 126 checks for reviewing smart-contract code.

How to use this page: print at 100% scale - everything fits on one sheet. Write one hygiene item per row: aliases you have named, backups that exist somewhere you can find, apps you no longer open. Put a date in the date-done column and circle Y or N only after you have actually looked. The alias map takes names only - recovery phrases and passwords have no place on paper. The three security rules at the bottom of the sheet are printed, so you can reread them each time the page comes out of the drawer.

The one-page wallet security sheet

Nothing on this page secures anything by itself. The rows hold the shape - what exists, when it was last looked at, what it is called - and your handwriting holds the facts. The gray row shows how a line reads once filled in.

Hygiene items in pen. Names in the alias map, never recovery words. The three rules at the bottom stay printed.

The alias you would still recognize in six months:

 

Names only. A seed phrase, recovery phrase, password or private key never goes on this sheet - the map has no line for them, and no legitimate service ever asks for one.

Security rules - printed on every copy

  1. Never share a seed phrase or recovery phrase with anyone. Support staff never ask for one.
  2. Verify the address bar before signing in to an exchange or connecting a wallet.
  3. Send a small test transaction before a larger one to a new address.

The gray row shows the shape of a line: a hygiene item, a date, one circle, a note. The item column is write-in, so the ten rows are whatever your setup needs - aliases named, backups that exist, logins tested, apps retired. The example is a starting point, not the list. When a row stops applying, cross it out with the date instead of erasing it; the struck rows are the history.

4 opinions on running this hygiene pass

  1. One alias per exchange. (Opinion.) Pick one name format - venue, then your word for it - and use it everywhere the account appears: the sheet, the app's account label, the email folder. One alias per exchange means the row, the login and the withdrawal list all point at each other without a lookup. Several names for the same venue is how a record turns into a puzzle.
  2. Fill the rows from a list, not from memory. (Opinion.) Your phone's app list and browser bookmarks are the inventory; memory gives you the three you like. Walking the list row by row surfaces the wallet app you stopped opening months ago, which is the row this sheet exists for.
  3. Circle Done the same day you check the item. (Opinion.) A row with a date and no circle means the check got interrupted - fine for a day, less fine by next quarter. If the circle column is the slow one, do all ten circles in one sitting before writing any notes; a half-filled circle column reads as a finished column from across the desk.
  4. Reprint fresh each quarter and keep the old sheets. (Opinion.) Editing one sheet forever turns the checklist into a diary. A fresh print with the old sheet filed beside it shows what moved: which alias got renamed, which row finally got its circle, whether the same app shows up uncircled twice in a row.

What the code-audit checklist adds

This page runs a hygiene pass over your own wallet records on paper. The product below points at code: a working checklist for reviewing EVM smart contracts, built from public registry entries and audit-practice patterns. If you write or ship contracts, it is the structured version of what this page does for your records.

"A working checklist for reviewing EVM smart contracts: 126 checks across 10 categories, each with an id, a severity rating and a reference. Multi-chain scope: Ethereum, L2s, and cross-chain messaging patterns." - the product README

For more paper for crypto records, the wallet activity log printable records transfers as they happen, the crypto portfolio tracker printable is where balances get written down, the airdrop eligibility checklist keeps claim criteria in one place, and the self audit checklist template runs the same hygiene pass over your accounts and subscriptions. The full catalog lists everything.

Honest note: this page is a hygiene sheet - a structure for writing down what your wallets, exchange logins and wallet apps look like today. It is not a security audit and not a substitute for one. Nothing on this paper assesses an account, an app or a chain beyond what you write on it, and filling in every row does not make a setup safe. The tips above are opinions from use, not research findings.
