Recently, I’ve been seeing everyone click links all over the place to test network points, and it really makes me sweat for my wallet… I don’t know whether the mainnet will issue tokens, but it’s ridiculous to hand over your seed phrase just for a “possible airdrop.” Only two red flags: any page that makes you enter your seed phrase/private key—shut it down immediately; and those that have you sign a bunch of authorization strings you can’t even read right away, especially the ones described as “unlimited limit.” Don’t sign too fast. A signature isn’t a verification code—it’s making a decision for your wallet.

Just the other day, my mom asked me, “For that point-claiming thing, do you have to fill in those 12 words?” I told her you don’t. If you truly have to fill them in, it’s basically phishing. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less now than wake up in the middle of the night to revoke authorizations, dig through transaction records, and figure out which signature was the one that got me. I’m already annoyed when a signature fails—let alone when my assets are gone. That’s it for now.
