  Using real addresses for cryptocurrency transactions can expose users to the risk of privacy invasion. Since real addresses are linked to personal identities, it becomes easier for others to track and monitor the transactions, potentially compromising the user's privacy and security.

  Another risk of using real addresses is the potential for targeted attacks. Hackers and scammers can use the information associated with real addresses to specifically target individuals for phishing attempts, malware attacks, or even physical theft of cryptocurrencies.

  At BYDFi, we understand the importance of protecting user privacy and security. That's why we recommend using unique addresses for each transaction, which can help mitigate the risks associated with using real addresses. By using unique addresses, it becomes more difficult for others to trace and link transactions to specific individuals, enhancing privacy and security.
