Solflare showed a scam token loss, what do I need to check before trading again?

If you see a loss on Solflare that is related to a scam token, first check the transaction on a Solana explorer to see what was signed. This is because wallet apps only follow on-chain instructions that you have agreed to.

Check to see if you used a harmful dApp, a fake airdrop, or an approval request that stole your money.

Before you do anything else, use a trusted Solana permission revoker to cancel all current token approvals. Scammers often leave approvals that let them lose over and over again.

If someone really did drain your wallet, you should move any SOL and assets that are still there to a new wallet.

Never trade tokens you didn't mean to buy, especially airdrops you didn't ask for. Many of these are made to trick people into agreeing to harmful changes. Only confirmed tokens and official dApps linked from trusted sources should be used.

Before you trade again, make sure your environment is safe by taking out any browser plugins you don't know about, turning off wallet auto-connect, and checking URLs again.
