As the Cardano ecosystem continues to grow, so do the risks associated with scams and fraudulent activities. As a Gerowallet user, staying informed and taking proactive steps to protect your assets is essential.
Secure Your Seed Phrase
Your seed phrase is your lifeline to your Cardano assets. Treat it like your most valuable possession. Never share it with anyone, and avoid storing it online.
Verify Official Announcements
When participating in token sales, mints, or other critical events, rely on official channels. Join the GeroWallet community channels and stay informed through trusted sources.
Be Skeptical of Free Offers
Scammers often promise airdrops, giveaways, or easy gains. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always verify the legitimacy of any offer before participating.
Double-Check URLs and Links
Before clicking any link, verify the website’s URL. Look for subtle misspellings or variations that could lead to a fake site. If in doubt, manually type the URL into your browser.
