Lost my SOL after connecting to a new 'staking' dApp, is it gone forever or can I track it?
Hey everyone, feeling pretty sick about this. I was on a Telegram group for Solana staking, looking for better yields than what I was getting. Someone posted a link to a new dApp, looked pretty legit, nice UI, all that. I connected my Phantom wallet and transferred a good chunk of my SOL, like, low five figures, to stake it there. It showed up as 'staked' for a few hours, then the dApp went totally dark. Now I can't access it, my SOL is gone from my wallet, and the address it went to isn't showing up as mine on Etherscan. It's a Solana address though, so Etherscan wouldn't work anyway, right? Did I just get totally rug-pulled? Is there any way to trace this on the Solana chain, or is it just lost to the void? Any advice seriously appreciated, I'm panicking a bit here.
My savings were drained from my wallet after approving a 'dApp connection' – is it gone for good?
Hey everyone, I'm feeling sick to my stomach. I was trying to check some new DeFi projects, you know, just seeing what's out there. I clicked on a link from a seemingly legit crypto news site – or so I thought – and it prompted me to connect my Trust Wallet to this new dApp. It looked pretty standard, just asking for permission to view my account balance, that kind of thing. I approved it, everything seemed fine. Then, about an hour later, I check my wallet and almost all my ETH and some stablecoins are gone. Just, poof. The transaction history shows outbound transfers to an address I don't recognise. I didn't sign any transaction for that specifically. I've heard about these 'drainer' scams. Is there literally anything I can do? I've already tried contacting Trust Wallet support but haven't heard back. This was a significant portion of my savings. Any advice at all would be a lifesaver.
