The Korean Edition of the “Blockchain Dark Forest Selfguard Handbook” is Officially Released
The “Blockchain Dark Forest Selfguard Handbook” (referred to as the “Dark Handbook”), authored by SlowMist founder Cos, was first published in 2022. Upon its release, it garnered significant attention and strong reactions. The launch of the Korean edition marks a new milestone.
The “Blockchain Dark Forest Selfguard Handbook” aims to be a survival guide for everyone navigating the blockchain’s dark forest. It provides detailed analysis and practical solutions to various security issues within the blockchain space. If you hold or are interested in holding cryptocurrency, this manual is a must-read and should be practiced with care.
The Korean edition maintains the essence and appeal of the original while rigorously addressing every technical term. Special thanks to Korean translators ChainWith Sharon and Jeongmin for their meticulous work!
In addition to the new Korean release, the Chinese, Japanese, and English versions (V1.2) have also been updated to include new sections on “Tools,” “Official Websites,” and “Contributors.”
The “Tools” section introduces a useful mindset: the firewall mindset. For example, if your wallet prompts you to sign a transaction, a single click on “confirm” can send the signature, potentially compromising security. A better practice involves at least two clicks, adding an extra layer of security. Enhanced wallet signature confirmation pop-ups provide the first layer of security by identifying phishing websites, risky wallet addresses, and high-risk signatures. A hardware wallet offers the second layer of security. Additionally, browser wallet security extensions like Scam Sniffer, Wallet Guard, and Pocket Universe can further strengthen your firewall. Always remember, if there are no risk alerts for your actions, you must stay vigilant and recognize potential risks yourself — you are your own ultimate firewall. Adopting the firewall mindset minimally impacts efficiency but significantly boosts security.
The Dark Handbook is more than just a manual; we are collaborating with more top-tier Web3 partners to elevate security awareness in the industry. We invite blockchain pioneers to join us in building a secure ecosystem. We also extend our gratitude to all readers, experts, and translation and proofreading partners who have supported the “Blockchain Dark Forest Selfguard Handbook.”
