🟡 My Friend Made a Token—Should I Trust It?

Your buddy just sent you a link: “Hey! I made my own token on Solana! Wanna buy some?” 🧐

It sounds cool… but is it safe?

 

🧪 Is It a Real Token?

First, make sure the token was made on a legit platform like Solana Token Creator or pump.fun.

Then check:

• Does it show up on Solana Explorer?
• Does it have a valid supply and symbol?
• Was it recently created?

 

🔐 Has It Been Locked?

The safest tokens:

• Have revoke mint authority (so no one can create more)
• Have freeze authority to stop suspicious activity
• Use IPFS or Arweave for permanent metadata

If your friend used Solana Token Creator, these options are just one click away ✅

 

🧠 What’s the Purpose?

Is the token for fun, a game, a private group, or something bigger?
Understanding the reason behind the token helps you decide if it’s worth joining.

 

⚠️ Red Flags

• Unlimited minting rights
• No explanation of what the token is
• Random links asking for wallet connection

Always double-check before spending any SOL 💸

 

🎯 Final Thought

It’s awesome that your friend made a token.
