Yes, see my edit. If a scammer knows what they are doing and has knowledge of how to use smart contracts, they would be able to bypass this.

Hardware wallets. Serious investors have these. It should be a strong recommendation directly on the website from our leaders.
It would prevent most of these scams.

That’s what I’m saying in #2. Since this project is so popular with new investors we need to make an effort to guide them. Recommendation to use hardware wallets could be posted on twitter or even in a special webpage “security section” with other important guidances.

I like the idea of some simple messages like “check that you’re on the right website” and “we recommend using a hardware wallet”.

Good idea with hardware wallets. But most of the newbies do not how to use them. Maybe somebody makes a tutorial on how to connect to the wonderland app. Just my 2 cents.

I think teaching people how to use the basic tools of crypto is beyond the scope of this project. We could certainly recommend good YouTube tutorials which already exist tho.

Isn’t all this part of DYOR?

Love this! I understand Defi is definitely “DYOR”, but by providing more helpful information is providing the “research” that new users will learn up on instead of leaving it to random YouTube channels.

On the one hand - yes, of course. But on the other hand - just imagine, if huge amount of projects would have its own basic security information or things like #1/#3. It would drastically decrease numbers of scams. Someone has to start this trend, and it would be cool if Wonderland would be headliner in this sphere. More information - more new users, who was previously scared or uneducated in some way!

I don’t see how this would work. Even if there was a login page, if someone compromised your wallet you would still be able to send memo to another wallet, unstake, and sell. There is no way to prevent someone from stealing funds from a compromised wallet via a login page. Also, attempting to not only implement a login page, but also tie someones memo to a particular account so only that account can unstake would not only require significant developmental effort but would also cause issues for users. For example, people buying a hw wallet and transferring their funds to that wallet after having already staked

Authentication system would not tie memo to a particular wallet. But like I said in the edit to my post, the system would not work since the scammer can still bypass the staking app and interact directly with the contract to remove the memo

If a wallet is compromised they wouldn’t even need to interact directly with the staking contract, they could just transfer the memo to a new wallet, unstake, and sell

wasn’t aware that staked tokens could be removed directly without unstacking. learn something new every day I suppose. Wish these blockchains had more inherent security built in.

I cannot edit my topic, so I’ll add this information here. I’ve found this amazing summary of the security tips (Security and lack thereof), it can be a starting point in creating types of pop-up notifications (#1) and it can be a nice addition to #3.

Some great ideas there my friend.
Daniele built this so the average Joe could have a chance at financial freedom… therefor I think security is key to protect newbies and staking gurus alike.
Hope we as a community will be able to support thsi!

I concur, this would definitely prevent people from being scammed, excellent proposal!

We could also give a recommendation (mini-ad) for the hardware wallet, where everyone who buys a hardware wallet through the link gets some % off and wonderland earns a commission adding 50% to reserve treasury and 50% to apy (or any other percentages). Basically a cooperation but for DAO.
My suggestion is that we vote on which hardware wallet suits wonderland the best (should there be more than 1 applicants).
Open for many improvement ideas so I can refine and finalise.
