DeFi is powerful, but it also attracts scammers. Staying safe means knowing how to spot red flags and only trusting official Synthetix resources.
Common Scams to Watch For
Fake websites - Lookalike sites pretending to be Synthetix.
Phishing links - Links in DMs, emails, or popups asking you to connect your wallet.
Fake airdrops - Scams offering free tokens if you sign or approve something.
Impersonators - People pretending to be “Synthetix support” in Discord, Telegram, or Twitter. Synthetix Support, Moderators or Team Members will not message you directly first.
Safety Tips
Only use official Synthetix apps and links from official Synthetix sources.
Never share your seed phrase or private key.
Double-check URLs before connecting your wallet.
Don’t trust random messages offering help, Synthetix support will never DM you first.
What to Do If You Suspect a Scam
Do not sign or approve anything.
Disconnect your wallet from the site.
Revoke approvals if you signed by mistake (use Revoke.cash).
Move your funds to a new wallet if you think your keys are compromised.
