Before you connect anything

Official links, and how not to get spoofed

One of the easiest ways to lose money in crypto is connecting a wallet to a fake website that looks exactly like the real one. Scammers clone these sites down to the last pixel, buy ads so the fake ranks above the real one, and drop links in emails, messages, and comments. The moment you connect and approve a transaction, the money is gone, with no reversing it and no one to call.

Every address on this page was last verified against the official source on 17 September 2026.

The one habit that protects you. Never reach these sites through a search engine, an ad, an email, or a message from anyone. Type the address yourself the first time, confirm it matches the list below, then bookmark it. From then on, only open these sites from your own bookmark. If a site ever looks slightly off, or the address is not an exact match, close it and start over from your bookmark. When in doubt, do nothing.

A last word

If a stranger, a group chat, or an ad is pushing you toward any site, that alone is a reason to slow down. The real sites do not need to chase you. They will be right where you bookmarked them.
