Important Reminders

Security First

• Never share your private keys or seed phrase

• Always verify contract addresses before interacting

• Start with small amounts to test the protocol

• Understand the risks before investing large amounts

Gas Optimization

• Use gasless transactions with DUSD when available

• Batch multiple operations to save on gas fees

• Consider using Layer 2 networks (Polygon, Arbitrum) for lower costs
