What is a Security Score?
Introduction
A Security Score is a critical feature of the Harpie Security Dashboard, designed to give you a quick and clear indication of how safe your cryptocurrency wallet is at any given moment. Think of it as a health check for your digital finances, providing a snapshot of your wallet’s security status.
What is a Security Score?
Definition
The Security Score on Harpie is a numerical value, presented as a percentage, that reflects the current level of security of your cryptocurrency wallet. It's calculated using a variety of factors, ranging from lingering approvals to transaction activity.
Importance
Your Security Score is important because it:
Identifies Weaknesses: Helps you quickly identify potential vulnerabilities in your wallet.
Guides Improvements: Suggests where you can make changes to enhance security.
Tracks Security Health: Acts as a tracker for your security measures over time.
How is the Security Score Calculated?
The score is derived from several components, including but not limited to:
Lingering Approval: The nature and number of approvals set up.
Active Connections: The security of smart contracts and external connections your wallet interacts with.
Transaction Activity: The activity you have with other wallets.
Improving Your Security Score
On the Harpie Dashboard, you’ll find actionable items that can directly influence and improve your Security Score. These might include:
Revoking Unnecessary Permissions: If you’ve given a service permission to access your wallet, and it's no longer needed, removing that permission can boost your score.
Security Score in Context
While a high Security Score doesn’t guarantee immunity from all threats, it does mean you’re actively following best practices to keep your assets safe. A lower score is a signal to review and strengthen your wallet’s security settings.
Conclusion
The Security Score on your Harpie Dashboard is a dynamic and essential tool that offers at-a-glance insights into your wallet's security posture. Regularly consulting and improving your Security Score is a proactive step toward safeguarding your digital assets against potential threats. Remember, in the world of cryptocurrency, your security is in your hands, and Harpie is here to guide you to safer shores.
