Pair safety

ETH/BTC scams and how to avoid them

You go to trade ETH/BTC. Among the real pools sit fakes: a counterfeit Ethereum token with the same ticker, a cloned pool, an “Ethereum airdrop” that wants a signature. They ride on the popularity of ETH/BTC to catch people moving fast.

Why ETH/BTC attracts scams

ETH/BTC is one of the most-traded pairs, so attackers imitate it: fake Ethereum tokens with identical tickers, look-alike pools, and airdrop pages that ask you to sign a draining approval instead of delivering anything.

Common ETH/BTC traps

Counterfeit Ethereum contracts with the real ticker; “claim your Ethereum” pages; cloned swap sites; pools with almost no liquidity designed to trap your funds.

Verify before you swap

  • Check the token contract address against the official Ethereum source — the ticker alone means nothing.
  • Trade only on DEX/exchange domains you reached from a bookmark.
  • Treat any “Ethereum airdrop” asking for a signature as a scam.
  • Read the signature: a swap should never need setApprovalForAll.

Trust Line checks the site and the signature

It blocks cloned swap pages and decodes the request before you sign, so a fake Ethereum token or drainer approval gets flagged in plain language.
