TLDR: #ALTUSDT #AltLayer #ALT We’ve noticed sites such as  “altlayer.re”, “altlayer.nl”, “altlayer.li”, “sd-altlayer.com”, “ad-altlayer.com” etc attempting to phish members by impersonating a popular project.

Our Advice: Stay Away! These are phishing websites designed to steal your funds, we suggest you use our HashDit Chrome Extension to protect your wallet.

$ALT

The official AltLayer webpage is “altlayer.io” and official twitter/X page ”@alt_layer”.

How these scams work: 

  1. The websites are set up to look like the original.

  2. Clicking on any link or button present on the site pulls up a wallet connection dialogue.

  3. Once you select your preferred wallet, based on the type of crypto selected in the wallet, the behavior[function call] changes but if you confirm the transaction, your funds are routed out to scammers.

#hashdit Do not fall prey to phishing links! Always do your own research before connecting to or committing to a project.
