Web3 Security Tips
We've seen a notable increase in the number of scams across all platforms in recent weeks so to help users stay safe here's a few basic tips:
1⃣ Know Who You're Talking to - If you believe you're talking to a project team member, always verify it. Check for admin tags/roles on platforms like Telegram or Discord and check messages on X are from an official account reflected on the projects website. Our team will never send unsolicited DMs to token holders.
2⃣ Be Careful Where You Connect Your Wallet- Connecting your wallet to a dApp can come with risks so always ensure you know what you're connecting to, double check any URLs and ensure you understand what any transaction requests are asking for before you sign them.
The only place we'll ever ask you to connect your wallet is on our official token portal at:
3⃣ Private Key Security - Store your private key/seed phrase securely, either offline or on a hardware wallet. NEVER share these with anyone, this is the singular golden rule in Web3!
Be wary of wallets which do not offer the ability to generate a private key as you'll be unable to import your address to other wallet software in the event of problems.
4⃣ Check Your Network - When sending tokens to centralized exchanges, it's essential you send them on the correct network, always double check which network has been selected for a deposit or you may lose your tokens permanently.
