How To Protect Yourself

When it comes to scams, prevention isn’t just smart – it’s essential. Up next, we’ll walk you through a few simple ways to keep your wallet clean, your crypto untouched, and the scammers away.

Choose a Security-Forward Wallet

A security-forward wallet – like Binance Wallet – does more than just hold your crypto. Our dedicated security team works quietly in the background, detecting spam token transfers and suspicious approvals. These tokens get filtered out and hidden before they even reach your screen, which means less clutter, fewer risks, and almost no accidental clicks.

Our security team also flags high-risk tokens and addresses with a red warning symbol next to the transaction, helping you steer clear before it’s too late. Think of it as your crypto’s spam filter, silently clearing out the junk before it gets in your way.

Always Double-Check

If something feels off, it probably is. Always take a moment to double-check token details – especially the contract address – before taking any action. A quick manual check can save you from a costly mistake.

Stay Informed

Scams are always evolving. Hence, keeping up with the latest fraud tactics is one of the best ways to protect yourself. Binance Academy offers bite-sized lessons on crypto fundamentals, while our blogs offer timely and in-depth updates on relevant security topics like smishing, phishing, wallet safety, and many more.
