What to do if your seed phrase was stolen and your wallet was compromised?

Have you ever heard about people losing their funds by entering their seed phrase into phishing sites? We want to raise awareness to our community.

The most common scammer tactic is impersonating support personnel and offering to help by providing a link to an “official” website that can often appear convincing to an inexperienced user. The user enter their seed phrase in a phishing website and their tokens suddenly start to unbound. Usually scammers use automated noscripts that drain your wallet on the day when tokens become trasferrable. Due to the obligate lockup period of most of Proof of Stake chains, staked assets must be unbonded before they can be transferred. That gives an oportunity to recovery service like Cosmoshield to front run scammer before they drain the wallet.

Guys are focused on fighting the scammers since 2021 and already have helped to recover over 2M$ in user funds.

Also well known Keplr wallet in cooperation with Cosmoshield have integrated fraudulent domain blocklist into the wallet extension to warn users when they enter phishing sites that are in the blocklist.

To report the phishing site you can go to cosmoshield.org/app/dashboard and team will add it to the blocklist if they find it fraudulent.

I recommend you to read more about Cosmoshield journey so far at the blog post

Quicksilver Inflation is live and token listing on Osmosis DEX!

Now you can trade your QCK tokens on Osmosis Frontier
Current price is ~0.22$ per token

Staking Rewards
- Rewards are paid out on a daily basis.
- Stakers will receive rewards in QCK and also in native chain rewards from staking fees collected by the protocol.

P.S. If you want to unstake your staked tokens it will take 21 days to proceed. And remember that largest part of your testnet rewards are still being locked with vesting period, so there is no point to unbound all the tokens at once.
