Best Practices

Do's ✅

✅ Test with small amounts first - Start with $50-100 competitions

✅ Double-check addresses - Verify you're sending to correct address

✅ Use correct network - BSC for BEP-20, Solana for SOL/SPL

✅ Send exact amounts - Use copy-paste to avoid errors

✅ Allow processing time - Wait 1-5 minutes for confirmation

✅ Keep records - Save transaction hashes for your accounting

Don'ts ❌

❌ Don't send from exchanges - Use personal wallets only

❌ Don't change token mid-campaign - Plan ahead

❌ Don't underpay - Exact amount required

❌ Don't use wrong network - Will result in lost funds

❌ Don't ignore expiration - 15-minute window is strict
