⚠️Basic scam/fraud awareness⚠️

🛑If you get approached by someone over DM and look official, they are NOT. They are impersonating someone and you may be getting scammed.

🛑There are no deadlines with sending/redeeming/claiming your ada. Your ada is always safe as long as you know the seed words to your wallet.

🛑Never put your seed words into a website, no matter how official it looks.

🛑Giveaways are often a SCAM!

🛑We will never ask you to send ada to us or to a wallet you do not own. Don't do it.

🛑Never tell anyone your seed words (mnemonics).

🛑 There is no online Live Chat Support website.

✅Always STOP and double check before making any decisions and/or ask an official on the public platform.

⛔️Transactions are NOT reversible⛔️

Dear Cardano Community.

It seems that Blockfolio was hacked earlier and they are currently working to identify the issue. In the meantime, please ignore all messages from that platform. As a general rule of thumb, please follow and use the Twitter accounts [at]Cardano and [at]CardanoStiftung as the main sources of truth.

We have asked the Blockfolio team to keep us in the loop until the issue has been cleared and we’ll let you know when things are back to normal again.

Edit: see Blockfolio team follow up from here: https://twitter.com/sbf_alameda/status/1359111183094018049?s=21

Cardano is its own blockchain protocol. This means that we have unique addresses for our user wallets and transactions. These addresses cannot be used interchangeably with any other protocol. Nor can they receive any other asset than ada or native tokens that are deployed on our blockchain.
