The Protein team or Community will NEVER ask for you to share your private key or sensitive wallet information with anyone. Please stay alert, $PRTN is currently unavailable to buy or trade so always check the original $PRTN address when interacting with the $PRTN token.
<aside> ❗ AGAIN, never share your private wallet details with anyone, not your wallet provider, not the Protein Team, not your government...no one!
Your ['Seed-phrase'](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-a-seed-phrase#:~:text=A seed phrase is a,being like the master password.) is the most important part of storing your cryptocurrency. If you lose or have your Seed-phrase compromised, then you no longer have control over your assets.

We recommend setting up a MetaMask Wallet, one of the most widely used wallets for managing cryptocurrency.
MetaMask is an Ethereum based Wallet and in the process of setting it up you will create an 'Ethereum address', which will start with '0x'. The Protein Community's Token ($PRTN) is Ethereum-based (ERC-20), which means you can use MetaMask to hold your $PRTN token.
