Secure Your Web3 Assets: Why You Need Delegate.xyz to Prevent Hacks
The Web3 space is full of opportunities like airdrops and NFT mints, but it also carries significant risks. One of the most frustrating threats is the Sweeper Bot. Once your wallet is compromised, these bots instantly steal any gas fees you deposit, making it impossible to claim rewards or move assets.
The smartest solution to stay ahead of hackers is using Delegate.xyz.
What is Delegate.xyz?
Delegate.xyz is a security protocol that allows you to link your Cold Wallet (Vault)—where you keep your valuable assets—to a Hot Wallet (Burner) used for daily interactions.
In short: You tell the blockchain that your "Hot Wallet" has the permission to act on behalf of your "Cold Wallet" for claims and verifications, without ever giving it the power to move or withdraw your actual assets.
Why is this a Game Changer?
Maximum Security: Your main vault never needs to connect to any website or sign risky transactions.
Phishing Protection: Even if your Hot Wallet is drained or signs a malicious contract, the assets in your Cold Wallet remain 100% safe.
Industry Standard: Trusted and integrated by major platforms like OpenSea, Blur, Yuga Labs, and leading airdrop protocols.
Solution: What if your Hot Wallet is already hacked?
If your current hot wallet has a "Sweeper Bot" (where gas is stolen instantly), follow these steps to save your eligibility:
Revoke Immediately: Log in to Delegate.xyz using your Cold Wallet and revoke the delegation rights for the compromised address.
Delegate to a New Wallet: Create a fresh, clean hot wallet and delegate the rights from your Cold Wallet to this new address.
Claim Safely: Use the new, clean wallet to claim your airdrops or access gated content. The hacker loses their link to your assets.

Safety Tip: Never share your seed phrase. Stay vigilant and keep your assets delegated, not exposed.
