Safety First: Protect Yourself in DeFi

Stonfiers! As STON.fi grows and attracts a large audience, including popular projects like Hamster Kombat, scammers inevitably try to take advantage. Our chat moderators and support team work hard to stop these bad actors, but it’s essential for everyone to know the basic safety rules in DeFi. Protecting yourself is the first line of defense!

Here are some key tips to stay safe:

1️⃣ Avoid Suspicious Links

Never click on links you see in your wallet, especially if they seem suspicious. Scammers might include a link in transaction comments, promising easy money. This is a 100% scam — avoid it at all costs! Also, never connect your wallet to unknown services.

2️⃣ Beware of Fake Support Messages

STON.fi employees will never contact you first via private messages. If someone reaches out claiming to be part of the STON.fi support or moderator team, and they ask for personal information, it's a scam. Report it immediately to us.

3️⃣ Always Verify Token Contract Addresses

Some scammers create fake tokens that look like real assets by using similar names. Before trading, double-check the token’s contract address with the official one provided by developers to ensure you’re dealing with the real thing. For example, the official HMSTR contract address is:
EQAJ8uWd7EBqsmpSWaRdf_I-8R8-XHwh3gsNKhy-UrdrPcUo

4️⃣ No Airdrops or Surprise NFTs

STON.fi is not conducting airdrops or sending NFTs for transactions. Any claims about giveaways or rewards outside of official announcements are likely scams. Stay informed by following only official channels for updates about contests or rewards.

5️⃣ Double-Check Website Addresses

Scammers often create fake websites that look similar to official ones. Always ensure you're on the correct STON.fi platform. The official address is:
https://app.ston.fi
Examine the URL letter by letter to avoid phishing sites. Only access STON.fi through trusted links from official resources.

Use Only Official STON.fi Resources:

If you’re ever unsure or suspect something is wrong, don’t hesitate to reach out to the STON.fi support bot or the official STON.fi chat. We’re here to help!

Stay vigilant, stay safe, and stay tuned.
