Staying safe: scams, fake links and signing

The common NFT scams (fake mint links, impersonators, "support" DMs, bad signatures) and the KURV habits that keep you out of trouble.

Most NFT scams aren’t clever. They just catch people moving fast. Here are the ones to know, and the small habits that stop almost all of them.

The classic. Someone posts a link that looks like a KURV mint page, often for a collection people are excited about. The page looks right, but the address in your browser isn’t.

The habit: only trust these:

  • kurv.fun
  • testnet.kurv.fun, the KURV app, which runs on testnet
  • docs.kurv.fun
  • learn.kurv.fun, this Learning Center
  • @kurvfun on X

If a link points anywhere else, don’t log in there. Type testnet.kurv.fun yourself instead of clicking.

Impersonators and “support” DMs

Scammers copy names and profile pictures, then DM people offering help, a “free mint”, or a fix for a problem you didn’t know you had.

  • Support runs through @kurvfun. If someone DMs you first claiming to be support, treat it as a scam.
  • Urgency is a tell. “Act in the next 10 minutes” is how they rush you.

Bad signatures

When you confirm something on KURV, you’re signing a transaction. A scam site can ask you to sign something that moves your stuff somewhere else.

The habit: read the amount before you sign. KURV shows you what you’re paying and what you’ll get before every confirm. If a number looks wrong, stop. On quotes like a sell-back, read the limit too: KURV shows the least you’ll get, and if that can’t be met, nothing moves (the network fee may still be spent).

Keep your codes to yourself

  • Login codes are for you only.
  • Invite codes unlock minting, trading and launching for one wallet on testnet, and they shouldn’t be posted publicly. If someone is selling or begging for codes in replies, ignore it.

A send is final

When you send a piece or coins to an address, there’s no undo. Check the address in full, not just the first and last few characters. Read it back before you confirm.

The honest part

Even with every habit right, there’s risk:

  • Smart contracts can have bugs, and a bug can lose money. That’s true of any contract on any platform.
  • Nothing on KURV is financial advice. Prices and quotes are up to the market.

Read Risks and disclaimer before you mint, buy or sell.

If something already went wrong

  • Stop signing anything on that site
  • If you think a key or code leaked, move what’s left to a wallet you control
  • Tell @kurvfun what happened, with the link you clicked

Quick recap

  • Only trust kurv.fun, testnet.kurv.fun, docs.kurv.fun, learn.kurv.fun and @kurvfun
  • Never share keys, seed phrases or login codes
  • Read the amount and the limit before you sign
  • Don’t post invite codes publicly
  • A send is final
  • Contracts can have bugs, and nothing here is financial advice
