https://forum.scrt.network/t/sefi-launch-update-metrics-troubleshooting-more/3049/

It's hard work building things that have never been built 😅 We are sincerely thankful for the support of the Secret community. Let's continue working hard towards our shared vision: a more secure, more user-centric, and more sustainable decentralized web!

Reminder: NEVER respond to unsolicited “support” DMs. NEVER trust direct messages from “team members.” PLEASE ONLY get support for Secret Network and tokens/products on Discord where you can verify admins.
