_**\*Note: Secret Recovery Phrases serve as a crucial security measure, granting access to your cryptocurrency wallet. Unlike your typical Facebook or Instagram account, you can't reset your password through simple email or mobile authentication if forgotten. It's imperative to secure your Secret Recovery Phrase. If someone gains access to the Secret Recovery Phrase associated with your wallet, they will have full control over the cryptocurrencies and NFTs stored within it.**_

_**When utilizing a non-custodial wallet such as MetaMask, the responsibility for safeguarding your cryptocurrency assets held in the wallet rests solely with you.**_
