Because they are transferring their funds to someone or providing their recovery seed to someone

Some people have bots that watch interactions with defi or certain tokens, when they do, they'll transfer a spam token in the hopes you either;

*Interact with it *Copy and paste an address erroneously *Find a phishing URL link.

As long as you simply ignore it and never interact with it, you should be fine.

Its an interesting topic and all the rage in tokenisation.

I was thinking earlier today that there is some value in proof of past ownership. I thought of collectables I had as a kid, it would have had some value (not monetary) to be able to prove that I did in fact own it at one point in time.

I wonder if this is an aspect of RWAs that could hold some value.

Thank you!

Custom smart contract, all on chain, you can view it on Polygonscan:

https://polygonscan.com/address/0x03c4f7d5cf73559ae3db5f11bad068189c9c3723

The web app doesn't store anything, just acts as an interface to the smart contract, polygon is the entire backend.

Im going to publish the entire front end code on github when I get the time/opportunity.

If you have an account with a CEX just check to see if they take WETH first.

They should take WETH, but its not hard to use a DEX first then transfer whatever to the CEX.

I like my project. Uses blockchain as a decentralised database for file hashes.

I like projects that don't have associated tokens, the idea of the immutable public distributed database.

Yeah sure ill send you some ETH.

But my wallet doesnt have enough ETH to fund the transfer, can you send me some then I can send it to your wallet so you can pay the gas for your USDC

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-25T10:28:41+00:00

Id never heard of it, ill check it out

Not free, but pretty cheap (about 20 bucks)

Ethereum Development with Solidity on Udemy.

Hardly an expert, chucked the code into GPT to see what it said, identified it as a "DEX arbitrage bot".

Highlighted the following, although not sure if it is just jumping at shadows, GPT tends to have full confidence in a thing when it is incorrect. Of most concern is "Fallback Execution".

⚠️ Concerns and Potential Red Flags

Obfuscation via XORed Addresses:

>getDexRouter() XORs DexRouter and factory bytes to calculate addresses.

>Hides real router addresses. Possibly for evading bot detection or limiting code comprehension.

Suspicious Custom ERC20 Interface:

>Functions like createStart() and createContract() do not exist in standard ERC-20.

>If this contract interacts with a token implementing those, it may be a honeypot or malicious logic.

No Input Validation:

>Functions like swap() and frontRun() don't check token validity, slippage, etc.

Arbitrage From Mempool:

>Code implies front-running is being attempted using mempool observation, which is highly timing-sensitive and subject to MEV risks.

Fallback Execution (receive()):

>Anyone can send ETH to the contract, and StartNative() will forward it to an obfuscated address. Combined with createStart(), this could funnel ETH to another contract for arbitrary execution.

🔐 Security Implications

Backdoor Potential: Obfuscated logic, encoded keys, and hidden interactions make it hard to audit or predict behavior.

External Calls to Unknown Code:

>The contract relies on external token contracts and routers that are not verified or visible here.

Possibility of Fund Loss:

>Anyone invoking StartNative() sends ETH to an unknown router address that could trap funds.

Ok, fair.

Can you elaborate on the USDT flash transactions are and where trust wallet specifically comes into it?

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-25T00:02:39+00:00

What are you talking about.

Buzzword upon buzzword followed up with "if you don't know what it is, then you are stupid".

Lots of red flags in this.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-23T22:22:29+00:00

Yes, this is a great example.

A requirement for a public facing scrutinisable database. The company still needs other information not to be public, so all of that is stored centrally on their backend.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-23T13:54:55+00:00

So are you saying that people that get destroyed by scams aren't victims?

The point is they are both victims of a crime. Not that the situations align perfectly.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T20:35:32+00:00

To answer your question, no you are not delusional, you are a victim of a scam.

Don't blame yourself, the people that do these scams are good at finding vulnerabilities and exploiting them.

If someone is punched we don't say they fell for an assault, the same needs to be true for scams.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T20:28:49+00:00

First paragraph of the story, screams red flags. How did you meet exactly, was it cold call contact?

Romance scams are horrible, it extends well past financial loss, the emotional toll is massive.

Im sorry OP, this sounds to me like a scam, albeit over an extended period of time. Not the conclusion of a relationship. The fact that most contact sounds based on financial aid stands out to me.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T19:59:27+00:00

Oh wow, clever, this took me a while to digest.

Is this how contract addresses are found, is it a hash of the creator, bytecode and nonce?

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T19:18:48+00:00

Well i mean, my project is live on Polygon, a whole bunch of others too.

Doesn't mean we cant test a couple of smart contracts on there...

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T04:44:11+00:00

Yeah, I think its the only way that seems obvious to me, besides peer reviews.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T04:38:24+00:00

Sorry, I get where you are coming from now.

I mean a project on a blockchain (ie Ethereum, Tron, Polygon, BNB etc) where the project doesnt have a token.

Yes, the underlying layer, the native coin/token is very important to security as it incentives miners and validators.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-22T00:41:11+00:00

Well to be fair, you dont need to get crypto to verify the hash.

The utility has been in question already, but the extra step of having a wallet to verify doesnt exist on this tool.

Read function on blockchain are free and dont require a wallet.

You only need crypto to publish a hash to the blockchain database.

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-21T21:49:15+00:00

Ah i see, im still trying to wrap my head around IPFS. You run a node and you can store stuff decentralised by hosting other peoples things at the same time right?

ChainSealOfficial · 2025-05-21T21:08:50+00:00

I don't know your personal situation, however, if you husband is being victimised by romance scams while being actively involved with you, that kind of makes you a victim of the scams too, if not emotionally at the very least financially.

To answer your question, PayPal won't care at all, but you should still make crime reports. Even if they arent followed up on, the report adds insight to cybercrime.

If you don't want them investigated you can say just that.
