βœ… Some questions you need to ask at this stage:

🧐 Is this an accurate and reputable website before connecting wallets and making transactions?

Before trading on crypto market platforms, most projects will need you to grant access to view your Public Key as well as your balance and wallet activity. This is completely normal to interact with the platform. However, it will be extremely dangerous if this is a fake website/platform because the scammer can programmatically transfer all your assets to their wallet.

It's easy to see a scammer create a website with the same look and feel as the original, but with a subtle URL change that you won't notice if you're in a hurry. For example, replacing "I" with "l", is very similar, isn't it?
