Security Considerations

While farcaster.xyz is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

Cryptocurrency Platform

farcaster.xyz handles cryptocurrency transactions. Crypto transfers cannot be reversed once sent, making these platforms prime targets for phishing. Always verify you're on the exact official URL before entering credentials or approving transactions.

User-Generated Content

farcaster.xyz hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
