# Safety

Hyperlynx is anon-built and self-custodial. The security model is simple: **don't trust — verify.** Here's how to stay safe.

## Self-custody basics

* **Your keys, your funds.** Hyperlynx never holds either. Keep your seed phrase offline and never share it.
* **Nobody legitimate will ever DM you asking for your seed phrase or to "verify" your wallet.** Anyone who does is a scammer.
* **Keep HYPE for gas**, and review every transaction in your wallet before signing.

## Verify, don't trust

Because the team is anon, the protocol is built to be checkable:

* Every trade, position, and claim settles **on-chain**. Look up your transaction hash on the block explorer to confirm exactly what happened.
* The airdrop size (**30% / 300M**) and the rules are **published**. The fee split is on-chain.

## Avoiding scams

{% hint style="danger" %}

* **There is no $LYNX token to buy before TGE.** Any "$LYNX" for sale now is fake.
* **Use only the official links** (see [Links & community](broken://pages/32d06c137947b829a2b59a079caf96b7d18a6222)). Bookmark the real app URL and check it every time.
* **Beware fake support, fake airdrops, and lookalike sites.** Hyperlynx will never ask you to connect to a "claim" site outside the official domain.
  {% endhint %}

## Trading risk

* **Price impact and slippage** can move your fill — check them before confirming. See [Spot swaps](broken://pages/dea08cf0c6e27f120ba1541e90299c53a0a7c9b4).
* **Impermanent loss** affects liquidity positions. See [Concentrated liquidity](broken://pages/ec16a59aed74a6bb24477bff1894efe8a288c344).
* **Tokenized stocks** carry their own risks and are not the underlying security. See [Tokenized stocks](broken://pages/b937ca3ae7050e66c2205a61498fbaef78154e26).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hyperlynx.gitbook.io/hyperlynx-docs/resources/safety.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
