Getting Started

Protecting a token or NFT on Harpie ensures that your assets are protected from scams, hacks and theft. Read more at What happens when I "Protect" something?.

You must be signed up for Advanced Security in order to protect a token. Read the guide here on signing up.

1. Enter your dashboard and go to Advanced Security

On https://harpie.io click "Enter App" to be redirected to your dashboard. If you haven't connected a wallet or created an account, you will be prompted to do so at this time.

Make sure that you are on the correct network and connected to the correct address! A wallet address will have a unique dashboard for each network.

2. Choose the asset to protect

On your dashboard, you will see all of your connected wallet's assets. If you do not see all of your assets, click "Import assets" or "Refresh list" to add it to our database.

Click "Protect" on the token or NFT you'd like to protect.

3. Confirm you wish to Protect

A modal will appear asking if you wish to confirm.

Remember that if you protect an asset and then try sending it to an address outside of your Trusted Network, the transaction will be blocked and you will need to go through the recovery process and this process will cost you gas.

At this time, we only support ERC721s. Do you want ERC1155 support? Request it here or in the help center chat.

4. Approve Harpie's smart contract

A popup should appear on your Metamask. You will be asked to give Harpie permission to access your assets.

Clicking "Confirm" on this transaction will allow us to move your protected asset out of your wallet in the event of an attack. Harpie's smart contracts have been audited and are completely non-custodial.

5. Review and verify your Trusted Network

Verify that your asset's status now says "Protected". Check that your Trusted Network includes only the apps and friends you trust.

If you send protected tokens to an address not in your Trusted Network, the transaction will be blocked and you will need to recover your token.
