  1. What is a 'rug pull' in the context of NFT art projects?

    Answer: When project developers abandon the project after raising funds

    A rug pull occurs when NFT project creators collect funds from buyers then disappear, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

  2. Which type of wallet storage is considered most secure for holding high-value art NFTs long-term?

    Answer: Hardware wallet (cold storage)

    Hardware wallets store private keys offline, making them immune to online hacking attempts and the safest option for long-value NFT storage.

  3. What does 'doxxing' mean in the NFT art community, and why is it a security concern?

    Answer: Publishing an artist's real identity publicly without consent

    Doxxing exposes a creator's or collector's real-world identity, which can lead to harassment, theft targeting, or physical danger.

  4. Why should NFT art buyers verify contract addresses directly on a blockchain explorer before purchasing?

    Answer: To confirm the contract is the legitimate one and not a copycat

    Scammers create fake contracts mimicking popular collections; verifying on a blockchain explorer confirms you're buying from the authentic contract.

  5. What is 'wash trading' in the NFT art market?

    Answer: Artificially inflating NFT prices by buying and selling between controlled wallets

    Wash trading involves a seller buying their own NFTs through different wallets to create fake price history and manipulate perceived value.

  6. Which smart contract audit practice is most important before investing in a new art NFT collection?

    Answer: Reviewing an audit report from a reputable third-party security firm

    Third-party audits from reputable firms identify vulnerabilities in smart contract code that could allow exploits or fund theft.

  7. What is the risk of storing NFT art metadata on a centralized server rather than IPFS or Arweave?

    Answer: The image and metadata could disappear if the server goes offline

    Centralized servers can go offline, be shut down, or have data deleted, making the NFT's linked artwork permanently inaccessible.
