Important Notes
- Mnemonic Phrase and Password Security: Gate does not store your password or mnemonic phrase. Please keep them safe. If lost, your assets cannot be recovered.
- Importance of Cloud Backup: We strongly recommend completing a cloud backup to prevent asset loss when changing devices.
- Gas Fee Preparation: Before transferring, make sure your wallet has enough native network tokens (such as ETH, BNB, etc.) to cover gas fees.
