ColdWallet Academy is the educational foundation of AfroColdWallet, Africa’s indigenous crypto-security brand. This course teaches beginners how to protect their crypto, avoid scams, use stablecoins safely, and master hardware wallets - using simple, culturally relevant examples.
If you’re here, it means you want to protect your money, your future, and your freedom.
This course will teach you everything you need to stay safe:
No jargon. No intimidation. Just clear, simple lessons designed for Africans and the global Black diaspora.
Let’s begin.
A crypto wallet is not where your coins live – your coins live on the blockchain. Your wallet is simply a key that proves the coins belong to you.
There are two types of wallets:
Hot wallets are convenient. Cold wallets are secure.
In Africa, where scams and hacks are common, cold wallets are the safest way to protect your money.
AfroColdWallet gives you the best of both: offline security with simple, beginner-friendly setup.
Across Africa and the diaspora, scams, hacks, and exchange failures are common.
Self-custody means you control your money – not an app, not an exchange, not a third party.
When you hold your own keys, nobody can freeze your funds, block your withdrawals, or steal your savings.
Self-custody is financial freedom.
Your seed phrase is the master key to your crypto.
It is usually 12 or 24 words.
Anyone who has these words can take all your money – instantly.
If you lose these words, nobody can help you recover your wallet.
Not Binance. Not MetaMask. Not AfroColdWallet. Not even God.
This is why seed phrase protection is the heart of crypto safety.
Here’s how to store your seed phrase the right way:
If someone asks for your seed phrase, it is a scam. Always.
Here are the scams you’ll see the most:
Scammers love Africa because people are new to crypto.
But after this course, you won’t be an easy target.
If you lose your phone or delete your app, don’t panic.
Your crypto is still safe on the blockchain.
To recover your wallet:
This is why protecting your seed phrase is everything.
Scammers target Africans with:
If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Scammers create fake versions of real apps.
Always download from official links.
Fake support agents will message you first.
Real support never asks for your seed phrase.
Before clicking any link:
One wrong click can drain your wallet.
Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are digital dollars.
They are perfect for savings, remittances, and business.
They stay stable because they are pegged to the U.S. dollar.
To stay safe with stablecoins:
Before sending crypto, follow the 3-step rule:
If the $1 arrives, send the full amount.
The $1 rule saves lives.
It prevents mistakes. It prevents losses. It prevents heartbreak.
Always test with $1.
A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline.
This makes it almost impossible for hackers to steal your crypto.
AfroColdWallet is designed for African users – simple, secure, and built for beginners.
Setting up your AfroColdWallet is simple:
Your keys never leave the device.
Scammers send fake addresses that look similar to yours.
Always check the first 4 and last 4 characters of every address.
Connect your AfroColdWallet to your phone using the companion app.
Approve every transaction on the device itself – never on the phone alone.
A passphrase is an extra word you add to your seed phrase.
It creates a hidden wallet only you know exists.
If someone steals your seed phrase, they still can’t access your funds.
Most scams start in your inbox.
Never trust unsolicited messages.
Never share screenshots.
Never share your seed phrase.
Block and report scammers immediately.
Crypto safety is a lifestyle.
