Protecting your purchases
Before placing bids or purchases, confirm the authenticity of the collection and the seller. Use reputable marketplaces and double-check token IDs and ownership history. Fake listings and copycats are common — verify provenance through on-chain history and community sources.
Wallet checklists for buyers
- Connect a wallet with minimal funds for bidding.
- Use hardware confirmations for significant purchases.
- Keep a separate reserve wallet for long-term storage.
- Revoke approvals for marketplaces you no longer use.
When disputes happen
If you suspect a fraudulent sale or an incorrect transfer, collect detailed evidence (transaction hashes, timestamps, screenshots) and contact marketplace support. Community channels often help flag scam collections quickly; rely on multiple verified sources before acting.
