Protect Your Wallet, Protect Your Assets
The crypto space is exciting but it comes with risks. Scammers, phishing attacks, and malicious tokens are real threats. Here's how to protect yourself while using CrypTok and navigating the broader crypto ecosystem.
Wallet Security Fundamentals
- NEVER share your seed phrase - No legitimate service, person, or platform will ever ask for your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase. If someone asks, it's a scam. Period.
- Use a hardware wallet for large holdings - Ledger or Trezor for amounts you can't afford to lose
- Enable biometric lock - Set up fingerprint or face ID on your wallet app
- Use a unique password - Don't reuse passwords across services
- Bookmark official sites - Don't click links from DMs or emails. Type the URL directly.
Verifying Tokens
Before buying any token, verify it's legitimate:
- Check the contract address - Always verify from the official source
- Use RugCheck - CrypTok integrates RugCheck to show token safety scores
- Look for locked liquidity - Tokens with unlocked LP can be rug-pulled
- Check holder distribution - If one wallet holds 50%+, be cautious
- Verify on Solscan - Check the token's on-chain data directly

Common Scams to Avoid
- Fake airdrops - "Connect your wallet to claim free tokens" links are almost always phishing
- Impersonation - Scammers copy profile pictures and names. Verify the @username.
- Pump and dump groups - If someone promises guaranteed returns, run.
- Fake support - CrypTok will never DM you first asking for wallet access
- Malicious token approvals - Read what you're signing in your wallet before confirming
