  1. What is a 'honeypot' smart contract in the NFT space?

    Answer: A malicious contract that allows deposits but blocks withdrawals

    Honeypot contracts are designed to lure investors by appearing profitable while secretly trapping deposited funds with no way to withdraw.

  2. Why is using a separate 'burner' wallet recommended when minting NFTs from unknown new projects?

    Answer: It limits exposure so a malicious contract can only access that wallet's limited funds

    A burner wallet contains only the funds needed for that specific mint, so if the contract is malicious, losses are contained to a small amount.

  3. What does 'token gating' mean in the context of NFT art collections?

    Answer: Using NFT ownership to control access to exclusive content or communities

    Token gating uses wallet-verified NFT ownership as a key to unlock exclusive digital spaces, content, or real-world benefits.

  4. Which action should you NEVER perform when an NFT project asks you to 'verify your wallet' via a third-party link?

    Answer: Entering your seed phrase or private key on any website

    Legitimate services never need your seed phrase or private key; entering them on any website gives attackers complete control of your wallet.

  5. What is 'front-running' in NFT minting, and how does it harm legitimate buyers?

    Answer: When bots detect pending mint transactions and pay higher gas to execute first

    Front-running bots monitor the mempool for mint transactions and submit their own with higher gas fees to get processed first, scooping desirable NFTs.

  6. What is the safest way to receive an NFT from an unknown sender?

    Answer: View it in a separate quarantine wallet before any interaction

    Unsolicited NFTs can contain malicious contracts; viewing them in an isolated wallet prevents any exploit from reaching your main holdings.

  7. Why do reputable NFT art marketplaces implement a 'hidden' tab for received NFTs?

    Answer: To quarantine unsolicited NFTs that could be spam or malicious

    The hidden tab prevents airdropped spam or phishing NFTs from appearing in a collector's main gallery, reducing interaction with potentially dangerous tokens.
