Safety Tools

The volumes in this archive are all stories about "after the fall." These two tools do the opposite — they help you spot the signs before trouble hits and protect your own money. They turn the FTX, Luna, Mt.Gox and PlusToken lessons into a health check you can run yourself. Free, fully client-side, collects no data.

Forensic self-check

Exchange Safety Check

Match the exchange you actually use against the risk signals of historic blow-ups. Tick-box scoring gives a live risk level (Low / Concerning / High) and concrete next steps. Spotting red flags beats predicting a rug-pull.

Fund Safety Checklist

If you keep money on an exchange, tick off the self-protection steps: don't leave it all there, self-custody long-term holdings, whitelist + 2FA, diversify, back up your seed phrase. A progress bar shows your coverage, and every item has a "how to."

Up front: these tools help you lower risk; they do not guarantee safety. Every centralized exchange holds your assets in custody, and even one that looks rock-solid can fail. They only organize publicly checkable historical signals — they do not target, and do not assert, that any operating platform is "about to fail," and they are not investment advice. The real floor is always: diversify, and self-custody your long-term holdings.
