Security Reminders
Seed Phrase Security: Your seed phrase is the key to your wallet. Protect it at all costs.
Beware of Scams: Be very cautious of phishing websites and fake extensions. Always double-check URLs.
Testnet Address: The testnet address will be the same as your mainnet wallet so there is no need to create a new address in order receive your airdrop. Once mainnet is launched, you can find and enable it in the “Select network” section.
Using a crypto wallet comes with risk. If you lose access to your private keys or share your seed phrase, you could lose your digital assets forever. Always keep your wallet credentials secure and be cautious of scams or phishing attempts. Become proficient at using your wallet before you risk your digital assets. We can’t help recover lost or stolen assets, so it’s up to you to protect your wallet and digital assets, and only use trusted applications.
