:multiply:Non-Transferable WLFI Tokens:

As of now, the WLFI token cannot be officially transferred or traded. Any offer to “buy WLFI”, “liquidity pool” or “WLFI/ETH swap” outside of official channels is considered a scam.:warning:Fake websites​:warning:

:folded_hands:Always check the official WLFI website address:
:white_check_mark:https://worldlibertyfinancial.com

:warning: Avoid clicking on unknown links received via messages or social networks.

:no_entry:Private key requests:
:prohibited:Never share your private keys, seed phrases or passwords. No serious project will ask for this. :ok_hand:
:warning:Promises of guaranteed profit:
:thinking:Be wary of anyone who promises to “multiply your WLFI” or “list your WLFI tomorrow”. :high_voltage:These are clear signs of a scam.

:down_right_arrow: How to Keep Your Wallet Safe, Revoke and Remove Unauthorized Authorizations After Visiting a Website Even with all the precautions, you may have inadvertently accessed a malicious website or granted permissions to suspicious contracts.

To protect your assets, follow these recommendations:

:white_check_mark:1. Identifying suspicious access and authorizations:

:ok_hand: Regularly review the spending authorizations (permissions) you have granted to contracts and applications using trusted tools.

:warning: An improper authorization can allow a contract to move your tokens without your permission.

:white_check_mark: 2. How to revoke unauthorized authorizations:

Use trusted platforms to revoke permissions from contracts you no longer recognize or use.

:play_button: Recommended tools:

:white_check_mark: Revoke.cash — Simple and secure interface to view and revoke authorizations on Ethereum and other networks.

:white_check_mark: Etherscan Token Approval Checker — Official tool for viewing and revoking approvals.

:down_right_arrow: Step-by-step guide to revoking authorizations using Revoke.cash

  1. Go to the website: https://revoke.cash.

  2. Connect your wallet using the supported option (Metamask, WalletConnect, etc.).

  3. Wait for the list of authorizations granted to your wallet to load.

  4. Carefully review the listed contracts. If you identify any contract or website that you do not recognize or no longer use, click “Revoke” next to the corresponding authorization.

  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet for the revocation to take effect.

:down_right_arrow: Step by step to revoke authorizations using Etherscan:

  1. Go to: https://etherscan.io/tokenapprovalchecker.

  2. Enter the public address of your Ethereum wallet and click “Search”.

  3. The website will display all the authorizations granted to your wallet.

  4. Click “Revoke” for the authorizations you want to withdraw.

  5. Confirm the transaction via wallet to complete.

:sparkle: Important:
Revoking and withdrawing authorizations from the websites we access does not harm our wallet; on the contrary, it protects it 100% against unauthorized movements. Furthermore, this does not prevent you from receiving future rewards, such as USD1 or WLFI.

:white_check_mark: 3. Additional measures to stay safe:

:folded_hands: Never give out your private keys or seed phrases to any website or person.
:white_check_mark: Use two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever available.
:white_check_mark: Keep your antivirus and anti-malware software up to date.
:white_check_mark: Consider creating a separate wallet for risky interactions only, while preserving your main wallet.

:up_right_arrow: Summary:
Revoking authorizations is a safe and recommended practice to protect your assets. It does not limit your right to receive future distributions or rewards in the WLFI ecosystem.
