Download and update the TokenPocket wallet safely!

1. TokenPocket Official Website: https://tokenpocket.pro/.

We found that the fake download link appeared on Google. Scammers have placed a large number of fake wallet advertisements on search web. TokenPocket has contacted Google Ads apartment to complain about this. Please don’t click the download link randomly, especially in searching tools like Google!! Get away from the FAKE TokenPocket APP!!

2. Distinguish the official TokenPocket Logo.

At present, the official TokenPocket wallet Logo is a blue background with a white “TP” pattern on the left below. The other logos are fake wallet logos, please pay attention to distinguish them!

3. Update Method

Android users who download TokenPocket APK from the official website can update it according to their personal needs. And users who download from Google Play, Samsung Store, and App Store can update the APP on the corresponding store.

In view of the user assets loss caused by the hijacking of other wallets recently, some users are concerned about the security of APK wallet downloads. TokenPocket states that the signature verification will be carried out for TokenPocket’s APK download. Meanwhile, we also have a very strict audit mechanism. The whole process needs to go through five strict security audits, so there is no malicious replacement of packets. TokenPocket will keep working on technical security services and provide users with a secure decentralized experience.

4. Verify whether the wallet is genuine!

Verify the APK Version

TokenPocket APK can determine whether it is a genuine wallet by MD5 and SHA256 values.

MD5 and SHA256 verification tool, which we can also call file hash verification tool refers to the tool that calculates the hash value of the file content. With these tools, the hash value of the file can be quickly calculated and compared with the official hash value to verify whether the file content has been tampered with.

Verify GooglePlay Version

Verify the App Store Version

Protect your private key and secret recovery phrase.

TokenPocket is a decentralized self-custodial wallet, users’ assets can only be controlled by the private key and secret recovery phrase, which means the private key/secret recovery phrase is the only proof to control your wallet.

When you create your wallet, TokenPocket reminds you to safely back up your secret recovery phrase and keep them in a safe place. When backing up the secret recovery phrase, please double-check to ensure the accuracy of your backed-up.

Please don’t trust anyone who claims to be an official. Anyone who directly communicates with you is a scammer! Don’t share the private key and secret recovery phrase with anyone, please be vigilant!

Approve carefully, cancel unnecessary and risky approvals regularly!

1. Approve carefully, don’t click any unknown third-party links!

Approval has become one of the important operations closely related to security in wallet operations. In order to avoid random approval executed by users, TokenPocket wallet adds the following security reminders before you perform the approval operation. Please be sure to understand the security tips in the popup window!

Don’t play DApps from unknown sources, don’t play DApps have no open-sourced, don’t play DApps have no audit reports and not from trustable teams.

2. Cancel the unnecessary and risky approvals regularly!

TokenPocket suggests that users check the approval of their wallet every week through the [Approval] on the [Assets] page, cancel unnecessary approval and risk approval, and protect wallet assets.

At present, the TokenPocket Approval Detector has supported Ethereum, BNB Chain, and TRON.

To sum up, wallet security needs every user’s attention, the above is the most effective protection of wallet assets security, but also the most necessary safety operations. We hoped that users will work hard to learn wallet security knowledge and stay #SAFU.

It’s near 2023! TokenPocket wishes all users a happy New Year!
