Safe Mint Guide
Interactive guide to help your community mint safely. Educate members on recognizing scams and verifying legitimate mints.
About This Feature
The Safe Mint Guide provides an educational resource and interactive checklist that members can use before connecting their wallet to any mint site. Help your community avoid scams with proper verification steps.
Pre-Mint Checklist
Essential steps before connecting your wallet to mint.
1. Verify the URL
Check that the URL matches the official website. Watch for lookalike domains (0 vs O, l vs I).
2. Check Official Channels
Only use links from verified official channels (pinned messages, official Twitter, website).
3. Verify the Contract
Compare the contract address with the one announced in official channels.
4. Check Transaction Details
Review what you're approving before signing. Never sign SetApprovalForAll for mints.
5. Use a Burner Wallet
For new mints, consider using a fresh wallet with only the mint amount.
Red Flags to Watch For
Pressure Tactics
"Mint NOW or miss out!" "Only 5 minutes left!"
DM Links
Links sent via DM are almost always scams.
SetApprovalForAll
Legitimate mints rarely need this permission.
Suspicious URLs
Misspellings, extra characters, or wrong TLDs.
Unverified Contract
Contract not verified on Etherscan or block explorer.
Free Mint + Gas
"Free mint, just pay gas" with unusually high gas.
Helpful Security Tools
Contract Verification
Always check contracts on Etherscan or the relevant block explorer. Look for verified source code.
Transaction Simulators
Use tools like Pocket Universe or Fire to simulate transactions before signing.
Revoke Approvals
Regularly check and revoke token approvals using Revoke.cash or Etherscan.
