Staying safe
Check the token account, not the name, and never sign what you don't understand.
Most crypto losses are scams, not hacks. The big ones:
- Look-alike tokens. Anyone can call a token "USDC". Check the token account (like
ftv2.nekotoken.nearfor NEKO), not just the name. - Fake sites and DMs. Type addresses yourself or use bookmarks. Admins never DM first.
- Too good to be true. "Send 10, get 20 back" is always a scam.
- Read what you sign. Your wallet shows what a transaction does. If it's not what you expected, reject it.
