How wallet drainers work

A drainer is a script on a fake site. When you connect your wallet, it asks you to sign something that looks routine, such as a login, a claim or a swap. The signature actually authorises transfers of your tokens or, on EVM chains, unlimited spending approvals. Once signed, the scammer can move your funds in seconds, and blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. Some versions ask for your seed phrase or private key directly (for example to fix a wallet or verify an airdrop) and simply import your wallet.

How people end up on fakes

Search ads that sit above the real result; replies and DMs from accounts posing as support; fake airdrop, cashback or token-sale announcements; lookalike domains with an extra word such as login-, web- or app-; and browser extensions or copied snippets that promise extra features for a trading terminal.

Rules that stop almost all of it

Bookmark the official addresses and only use the bookmarks. Never type a seed phrase or private key into a website or send it to anyone. Read what you are signing; if a site asks you to sign right after connecting with no trade, close it. Ignore anyone who DMs you first. Keep only trading money in your hot wallet.

If you think you were drained

Stop using the wallet. From a clean device, create a new wallet and move what is left. On EVM chains, revoke token approvals (for example with revoke.cash). Change the password and 2FA of the email or account you log in with. Report the site to the platform it imitates and to your local fraud authority. Be wary of recovery services: people promising to get funds back are very often a second scam.

Frequently asked questions

What is the official Photon website?

Photon runs on tinyastro.io; our link goes to photon-sol.tinyastro.io. Treat other domains claiming to be Photon as hostile.

Can a website steal my crypto just by visiting it?

Usually not by visiting alone. The theft happens when you connect a wallet and sign a request, or type in your seed phrase or private key.
