friendly security reminder since we're still seeing new scam mini apps pop up every day. 🚨 if any mini app or link asks for your seed phrase, private key, or recovery phrase → it's a scam. close it immediately. no legitimate app will ever need this. not for rewards, not for verification, not ever. 🚨 red flags to watch for: ⚠️ wallet connection requests private information, seed phrase, private key, or recovery phrase ⚠️ wallet connection requests that ask for large or unlimited token approvals ⚠️ impersonation accounts with slightly altered usernames or domains (farcester ≠ farcaster) ⚠️ "send first" to unlock rewards or double your money ⚠️ urgency tactics like "only 10 minutes left!" "claim now!" ⚠️ new accounts with no history, replies, or social proof simple habits that protect you: - read every transaction prompt before signing, so you know what it is doing - avoid unlimited token approvals unless you deeply trust the app - don't interact with random DMs offering anything that requires clicking links or downloading anything to manage your signers: on mobile go to Settings → Advanced → Manage Connected Apps and revoke anything you don't 100% trust. you can always re-grant access later, so err on the side of caution. on-chain transactions are irreversible. please sign carefully.
