## ⚠️ Anti-Scam Checklist

Before buying or bridging wRTC, **verify you have the correct token:**

### ✅ Official wRTC Details
- **Mint Address:** `12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4X`
- **Decimals:** `6`
- **Symbol:** `wRTC`
- **Network:** Solana mainnet

### 🚨 How to Verify

1. **Check the mint address** - Must match exactly (case-sensitive)
2. **Verify decimals** - Must be `6` (not 8, not 9)
3. **Don't trust ticker alone** - Anyone can create a token with "wRTC" symbol
4. **Check liquidity** - Real wRTC has liquidity on Raydium
5. **Verify bridge** - Only bridge at `https://bottube.ai/bridge/wrtc`

### 🛡️ Red Flags

❌ Token with different mint address
❌ Token with wrong decimal places
❌ Unknown/sketchy DEX
❌ Telegram/Discord DMs offering "special deals"
❌ Bridge sites other than bottube.ai
