What it is:

Phishing is the practice of sending communications that are meant to look official and real, but in reality, they are fraudulent attempts to gather your personal information, like your credit card number, bank account number, or private key. Phishing is very common. Be wary of any request for sensitive information.

How to avoid it:

  • Never enter your seed phrase or private key anywhere online
  • Double check URLs. Fake sites often use lookalike domains
  • Use official links from project websites or social media profiles
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available
  • When in doubt, contact the sender on a trusted channel
