Trust & safety
CheesePad is designed to make fundraising more transparent. This page explains the trust signals you should review before interacting with any pool.
Trust signals at a glance
- Secure Lock: on-chain proof that tokens or LP positions are locked under a defined schedule
- Audit token: a visible badge that references an audit workflow/report
- On-chain verification: contract addresses and transaction hashes you can verify independently
- Official communication: support channels published on the official CheesePad website and docs
Secure Lock
What Secure Lock proves
- The lock exists on-chain
- The lock has an explicit schedule (single unlock or vesting)
- Unlock activity is publicly observable
Audit token
What to confirm
- The report references the correct deployed contract address
- The report is current and the project did not change critical parameters after audit
Leaderboard signals
Leaderboard ranking can be a useful signal, but it is not a guarantee of safety. Always validate on-chain proof first.
Common scams & red flags
- Impersonated social accounts sharing a different contract address
- “Urgent” pressure to send funds outside the official flow
- Locks that unlock suspiciously early compared to the announced vesting
- Missing or inconsistent on-chain links
Reporting an issue
When reporting suspicious behavior, include:
- The pool link
- The contract address(es) involved
- Transaction hash(es)
- Screenshots and a short timeline of what happened
