🛡️ Shield Your Crypto: Tip 4 Trader Joe is embarking on a mini content series to inform and educate on the many risks that lurk in the shadows when engaging in Web3 / DeFi. _______________________ 🐝 Honeypots This scenario mirrors the classic one-way trap that has been deceiving bugs for decades.... A honeypot scam ensnares your assets using a newly launched token. Buyers, attracted by the initial offering, rush in and purchase, inadvertently driving the price up and attracting even more investors. However, the smart contract governing the token prevents anyone from selling, effectively trapping your funds while the scammers drain the money away. _______________________ 🆘 How do you avoid falling into such traps? • Checkout the community channels + socials • Verify if the protocol has undergone any audits • Check to see if the token is on the TJ Tokenlist Don’t jump in head first, take a moment to verify. _______________________ Common Misconceptions 👇 Below are some often commented suggestions, but neither are fully safe and you should not rely on them to protect you from honeypots. ❌ Will prescreening save me? Platforms offering features such as Go+ security checks can highlight potential risks associated with tokens, but unfortunately no pre-screening checks are 100% certain to save you from a honeypot, there are ways around pre-screening and you should therefore NEVER trust pre-screening as the only way to identify risks. ❌ Can I swap small amounts to test? Swapping small amounts as a test to verify if a token is a honeypot might provide a false sense of security. Scammers can set up the smart contract to allow small transactions to go through smoothly or turn on whitelisted addresses for trading only, after a certain period of time. Basically, this is not a safe measure to test if a token is a honey pot. _______________________ Your best defence is common sense, don't ape without checking and always verify if the token has been added to the Trader Joe Tokenlist.

🛡️ Shield Your Crypto: Tip 3 Trader Joe is embarking on a mini content series to inform and educate on the many risks that lurk in the shadows when engaging in Web3 / DeFi. _______________________ 💣 Fake Airdrops Imagine if Santa unexpectedly turned evil this year. We happily let him into our homes, only to open a present and find a lump of coal... and then open our wallets to discover he’s stolen everything we have. This is what it's like to receive a fake airdrop. These tricks follows the same playbook as those old internet pop-up ads saying you’ve won a new iPhone... all you have to do is give us your credit card information to "confirm it." 🚩 How does it work? Typically what happens is that users will find this token in their wallet, they decide they want to cash in on this discovery so they'll head to a DEX, Like Trader Joe, sign the approval of the token to trade it and it's when they do this, the approval compromises their wallet and Dirty Santa walks away with your funds. _______________________ 🔒 How do you stay safe? It’s simple. Don’t do anything. As long as you don’t interact with the token(s) that magically appear in your wallet, will be safe. Wallets like @Rabby_io and platforms like @DeBankDeFi are becoming increasingly adept at highlighting scam transactions and tokens, helping you avoid getting duped. _______________________ The general rule is to always question something that seems too good to be true. Conduct due diligence on a token if you think it might be legitimate. Ultimately, keeping your wallet safe is your responsibility, so you must always be thorough and aware.

HAPPY #BITCOIN HALVING DAY Every four years, an historic event happens … The Bitcoin halving 🎆 The halving is a ‘feature’ of Bitcoin issuance, designed to control inflation and extend the issuance of new bitcoins over a longer period of time. This event happens approximately every 4 years (or after 210,000 blocks are mined). The ‘halving’ therefore refers to the rate in which new bitcoins are created (and enter the circulating supply). It’s called the halving because, the rate of which this issuance happens is halved. Simple. ____________________________ Why should you care? ... Here are the key reasons: 💎 Bitcoin becomes more scarce Just like a fine vintage wine, Bitcoin gets more precious as time moves on. With fewer new coins made, the rarity kicks up a notch and peoples value perception of a single Bitcoin increases. 📊Economics 101 (Supply and Demand) Mining bitcoin gets more difficult, therefore the game gets more difficult, miners look to influence ways to help them acquire more bitcoin, or, protect their current mining share. 🎟️ Moon Ticket? … No, not literally. Speculatively, the halving moment in bitcoins history sees an impact on the price per bitcoin. Less supply and steady demand, equals a moon ticket? Past performance is no guide to the future, but history does seem to have a way of repeating itself. ____________________________ What’s the play? Whether you’re holding, here for the memes and vibes or betting on the future of france, the Bitcoin halving is an epic moment that comes along once every four years, so it’s worth celebrating. Equally, this is also the first halving to happen alongside a thriving #DeFi industry, filled with all types of audiences from across the globe. It’s a wonderful time to be aligned with the vision of digital gold and Trader Joe is proud to be building since ‘21. ____________________________ Cheers to the miners, DeFi, Crypto and #Bitcoin.

🛡️ Shield Your Crypto: Tip 2 Trader Joe is embarking on a mini content series to inform and educate on the many risks that lurk in the shadows when engaging in Web3 / DeFi. _______________________ 👾 Learn About: Fake Domains A user heads to a search engine like Google or Bing and inputs “Trader Joe XYZ”. The first result they see is “Trader Joe XYZ . com”, which looks legitimate.... Without hesitation, the user clicks, assuming it's the correct site. Unfortunately, they've just landed on a counterfeit website and, in the blink of an eye after connecting their wallet, it gets drained. ⁉️ So, what exactly went down? This scenario unfolds one of the craftiest scams in the space, affecting countless individuals. Scammers register fake domains that closely mimic authentic URLs, cleverly disguising their bogus sites. They then leverage pay-per-click advertising to ensure these fraudulent pages appear at the top of search engine results. This scam is particularly deceiving, capable of duping even the most diligent among us. _______________________ ➡️ How to Stay Safe To avoid falling victim to such cunning schemes, users must exercise extreme caution and adopt several protective measures: 1️⃣ Verify Official Links Always double-check the URL in your browser's address bar for any discrepancies. Look for slight alterations in spelling or unusual domain extensions. 2️⃣ Use Bookmarks For frequently visited websites, use bookmarks to ensure you're always landing on the genuine page. bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark ⭐ bookmark..... Always bookmark trusted sites ⭐ 3️⃣ Seek Official Sources Instead of relying on search engines, go directly to the official social media profiles or forums of the platform in question to obtain the correct URL. _______________________ Vigilance is your key to safeguarding your digital gold, always triple check everything. Never rush or let fomo cloud your judgement.
