Phishing links: common DM, emails, texts, phone calls. All links are sus. Please treat them as sus. To not get caught up in these please make sure to do the research on links. Ask around discord and your friends if they are safe. NFT emails are mostly scams as well as any text message or response to tweets. Please make sure to always use the official links from projects socials and not random ones people send you. Never answer sus dms and always be on edge with links. Never press accept to any random gas fees in your metamask. This can be a sign that you clicked a malicious link.

Shock mints: 99.9% of the time these are scams. They are usually "set approval for all", or "send" functions and not mint functions. These functions allow for the contract deployer to be able to access your wallet. Usually happens in discords. These will be multiple pings, trying to rush you by saying "last mints" "extra mints". This is always a scam. IF they havent announced a mint date or said it will be a shock drop it will be a scam. Know the project and how they expect to drop. Always stay calm and ask around other discords before trying to mint. If they lock all the channels to text thats another red flag. If most channels are deleted besides the mint announcement thats a red flag.

Free mints: Make sure you are signing for a mint. Always mint from contract when you can.

Random airdropped nfts: These tokens and NFTs are almost always scams. Please make sure not to list, or transfer these. Hide them on opensea if youd like but please don't interact more. Do not accept bids on random airdropped nfts.

Discord Bots: You can right click and make a note on the real collab land and other discord verification bots so you know the real one. When discord bots send messages and tag everyone assume they are hacked.

Discord Webhooks: Rarely any projects use webhooks to announce things. Do not mint from webhook links or trust them.

Bookmark: Never bookmark anything. This has been a common scam recently. Dragging a bot or something to your bookmark bar causes scammers to have complete control of your computer.

Downloads:
Don't download anything from random people

Twitter:
There's a ton of fake verified twitter accounts and accounts pretending to be official project accounts on twitter. No project will mint public from a twitter link without stating they were going to do that. Please do not get fooled in mints, free mints, hype mints, or any twitter post scams. Also many comments about metamask or support usually is a scam as well.

Mod positions:

Safety practices:

1. Ledger. keep all expensive assets in this wallet. This wallet should be a vault. It should never connect to sites, or contracts and should stay as cold storage for assets you wont sell or need. When assets in the wallet are needed you can send them via ledger live to a different address.

2. Hot wallet: This wallet should be one that interacts with contracts and websites. You should not store your expensive assets on this wallet.

3. (optional). Minting wallet: This should be a different wallet from the hot wallet. This wallet should be on a separate browser than your normal browser with hot wallet. Use this for degen activities.
