Before buying: route and token risks

Buying memecoins involves specific risks.

Contract risk is a primary concern. You must verify the exact address and network before transferring funds. Using a lookalike contract address can lead to a total loss of funds.

Network errors are common. Ensure you are using the Base network. Sending tokens to the wrong network may result in permanent loss.

Account risks include country availability and KYC limits. These vary by exchange and can affect your ability to trade or withdraw.

Withdrawal support is not guaranteed. Do not assume that every exchange that allows you to buy a token also allows you to withdraw it to a self-custody wallet.
