NFT Marketplaces & How to Browse Safely
Where NFTs are bought and sold, and the scams unique to this space.
What you’ll learn
- •NFT marketplaces are typically dApp-style storefronts you connect a wallet to, rather than sign up for with a username and password.
- •Fake or copy-minted collections mimic genuine art and branding under an unofficial contract — always verify via the creator's own official channels.
- •Wallet drainer scams disguise a broad, malicious asset-approval request as a normal mint or purchase transaction.
- •Security Rule #2: never rush a signature request — read what a transaction is actually asking to approve before confirming.
- •Artificial urgency ('only minutes left') is a pressure tactic designed to stop you from verifying — treat it as a red flag, not a reason to hurry.
- •Use a separate, low-balance wallet for browsing and experimenting with NFT marketplaces, keeping your main holdings isolated.
- •Treat any unsolicited NFT that appears in your wallet with suspicion, and avoid interacting with it or its linked site.
