The delivery method
Most drainer victims arrive through a link sent in Discord, Telegram, or X — a fake mint, a support impersonator, or a compromised announcement channel.
Common tactics
Hacked project accounts posting fake claim links, DMs from fake "support" offering to help, and urgent "limited spots" messages designed to rush you.
Staying safe
Treat every link in a chat as suspect. Verify announcements on multiple official channels. Real support never DMs first and never asks for your seed phrase. When in doubt, type the address yourself.
