For wallet set-up you should have:

Cold-Wallet NO.1 :ONLY PUT YOUR IMPORTANT NFTS (DON’T USE IT TO MINT)

Cold-Wallet NO.2 :ONLY PUT YOUR ETH/USDT ,ONLY TO TRANSFER ETH TO OTHER WALLET/CEX (DON’T USE IT TO MINT)

Hot-Wallet NO.1 :Put few ETH in it,Mainly to mint hype/big projects (NON DEGEN)

And use it to trade on 2nd market,all profits returns to Cold-Wallet NO.2

Hot-Wallet NO.2 to NO.??? :Take these as BURNER WALLETS,ONLY USE IT TO MINT DEGEN PROJECTS
