OrcaGuard puts eight safety tools in one place. From checking unknown contracts and phishing URLs, to auditing your own wallet and learning how scams work — everything is explained in plain English, no technical background needed.
Scammers create tokens with the same name and ticker as real projects — like a fake "LCAI" token. The only way to tell the real one from a fake is the contract address. Two tokens can have the same name but they'll never have the same address.
Always verify the contract address before buying. Get it from CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or the project's official website — never from a chat message or social media post.
If you're looking for LCAI on Ethereum, here is the verified contract address:
0x9cA8530CA349c966Fe9ef903Df17a75B8A778927
Any other token claiming to be LCAI with a different address is a scam.
LCAI exists in two forms. On Lightchain Mainnet, LCAI is the native currency of the blockchain — the same way ETH is native to Ethereum. Native currencies don't have contract addresses because they're built into the chain itself, not issued by a smart contract.
On Ethereum, LCAI exists as an ERC-20 token (the contract address above). This is the version you buy on Uniswap and bridge over to Lightchain.
⚠️ If anyone gives you a "contract address for native LCAI on Lightchain," it is a scam. Native tokens don't have one — there's nothing to find.
Only connect your wallet to these official Lightchain domains:
Malware on your computer can silently replace wallet addresses you copy from the clipboard. You copy one address, paste a different one. Always check the first 6 and last 6 characters of the address in your wallet app before confirming.
On large amounts, send a small test transaction first and confirm it arrived before sending the rest.
When you connect, OrcaGuard automatically checks: which network you're on, your ETH balance (needed for gas), your LCAI balance, and flags any immediate concerns. For a full approval audit, we link you to Revoke.cash — the gold standard for approval management.
Trust Wallet has two separate network settings that can show different things at the same time:
• Portfolio view (the main wallet screen) — shows your tokens across whatever network you're viewing. You can flip between Ethereum and Lightchain here without affecting anything else.
• DApp browser connection — when you open a website inside Trust Wallet's built-in browser, the wallet connects on whichever network the DApp browser is set to. This is what OrcaGuard reads.
If OrcaGuard shows Lightchain but your portfolio shows Ethereum, it means your DApp browser is still on Lightchain. Use the ↔ Switch to Ethereum button above to fix it — or inside Trust Wallet go to the DApp browser, tap the network icon in the address bar, and switch there.
Uniswap (app.uniswap.org) — Most reliable. Search by the contract address above, NOT by name. Set slippage to 1-2%.
Bridge from Ethereum to Lightchain Mainnet — After buying LCAI on Ethereum, bridge it to Lightchain at bridge.lightchain.ai to use it in dApps and for staking.
Centralized exchanges — Check CoinMarketCap for the current up-to-date list of verified exchanges.
1. Go to CoinMarketCap.com or CoinGecko.com
2. Search for the token by name
3. Find the "Contract" address on the token's page
4. Compare that address character by character with what the exchange shows you
5. If they don't match exactly — do not buy

💧
Airdrop Scams — Random tokens appear in your wallet. Never interact with, approve, or try to sell them. Just touching these tokens can trigger approvals that drain your wallet. Ignore them completely.
-
🪤
Honeypot Tokens — You can buy them but can't sell. Looks like the price is rising, but once you buy, you're trapped. Always check a contract before buying using the contract checker on this site.
-
🎭
Fake Token Same Name — Scammers create tokens with the exact same name and ticker as real projects. LCAI is not on Coinbase — any "LCAI" there is fake. Always verify by contract address.
-
🌐
Phishing Sites — Fake versions of Uniswap, MetaMask, Lightchain, etc. run Google ads. The site looks identical. Once you connect and approve, your wallet is drained. Always bookmark official sites.
-
💬
Fake Support DMs — Someone messages you on Discord or Telegram offering to help with a wallet problem. They will ask for your seed phrase or private key. This is always a scam. Real support never asks for these.
-
🔑
Seed Phrase / Private Key Requests — Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, ever, for any reason. Anyone asking for it is a scammer. Your seed phrase = complete control of your wallet.
-
📋
Clipboard Hijacking — Malware replaces wallet addresses you copy with the scammer's address. Always check the first and last 6 characters of an address after pasting before confirming any transaction.
-
💸
Send Crypto to Receive More — "Send 1 ETH and get 2 back." "Send LCAI to unlock your reward." This is always a scam. Legitimate projects never ask you to send crypto to receive more.

✅
Unlimited Token Approvals — A dApp asks to approve spending of unlimited tokens. This gives the contract permission to take everything in your wallet at any time. Only approve the exact amount you need, or use a trusted revoke tool to cancel old approvals.
This is one of the most common issues, especially on mobile. Desktop browsers handle wallet connections differently than phones, and some sites don't support all methods equally.
The most reliable fix. In Trust Wallet: tap the browser icon at the bottom → type the site address. In MetaMask mobile: tap the menu → Browser. These browsers connect automatically because the wallet is already built in.
If MetaMask isn't connecting in Chrome, try Firefox (or vice versa). Sometimes browser extensions conflict. Also try disabling other extensions temporarily.
In your wallet app, go to Settings → Connected Sites (or Wallet Connect) and disconnect from the site. Then try connecting again from scratch. A stale connection is a very common cause of this problem.
Lightchain dApps (bridge, governance, workers) require Lightchain Mainnet. Uniswap requires Ethereum Mainnet. If your wallet is on the wrong network the site will either refuse to connect or show strange errors. Switch networks inside your wallet before connecting.
Sometimes old cached data causes connection failures. In Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Cached images and files. Then reload the page and try again.
Gas is the fee you pay to the network to process your transaction. Think of it like a tip to the validators who keep the network running. On Ethereum, gas is paid in ETH — and it can get expensive.
Gas prices change constantly based on network demand. During busy periods (big news, market moves, NFT drops) fees spike dramatically. A simple token swap that costs $3 one day might cost $40 the next.
There's no rush. Gas fees are usually lower on weekends and late at night (US Eastern time) when fewer people are transacting. Check current fees at etherscan.io/gastracker before you transact. If the fee seems high, come back in a few hours.
Once you bridge your LCAI to Lightchain Mainnet, transactions there cost a tiny fraction of a cent in native LCAI. Bridging itself (on Ethereum) still costs Ethereum gas — but after that, you're on a much cheaper network.
Some wallets let you manually set gas. If you set it too low, your transaction will sit pending forever or eventually fail — and you may still lose the gas fee. Stick with the wallet's recommended setting unless you know what you're doing.
Slippage is the difference between the price you expect to pay and the price you actually pay when your transaction goes through. Crypto prices move constantly, so by the time your transaction is confirmed, the price may have shifted slightly.
On Uniswap, click the gear icon (⚙️) and set slippage to 1% or 2%. This means you're OK paying up to 2% more than the quoted price. If the price moves more than that before your transaction confirms, it will automatically cancel (protecting you from a bad fill).
If your swap transaction keeps failing or reverting, the most common fix is to increase slippage to 3–5%. This gives the transaction more room to go through even if the price moves. Just know that higher slippage means you might get a slightly worse price.
Very high slippage leaves you vulnerable to "sandwich attacks" where bots see your pending transaction, buy the token first to push the price up, let your transaction fill at the worse price, then sell. Keep slippage reasonable.
After Trust Wallet updates, tokens sometimes get hidden. Tap the icon in the top right to manage your token list. Look for a show/hide toggle next to LCAI and make sure it's visible. If you don't see it, search by the contract address: 0x9cA8530CA349c966Fe9ef903Df17a75B8A778927
In Trust Wallet settings, make sure transaction signing is required — meaning the app asks you to confirm before any transaction goes out. This is your last line of defense against a bad approval. Never approve a transaction you didn't initiate.
As mentioned above — if you're having trouble connecting on mobile, the Trust Wallet browser (tap the compass/browser icon) will connect to Lightchain sites reliably without any extra setup.
Every transaction your wallet asks you to sign is a request to do something with your money or permissions. Most wallet drains happen because someone signed something without understanding what it was.
• The transaction shows a specific token amount — not "unlimited"
• The gas fee is reasonable (a few dollars or less on Lightchain, variable on Ethereum)
• The destination address matches what you expect
• The transaction popped up without you clicking anything
• It's asking you to setApprovalForAll (gives complete control of your NFTs)
• The gas fee is extremely high for something that should be simple
• The site URL has anything suspicious — even one wrong character
• Someone told you to approve this in a chat message or DM
These give a smart contract permission to spend your tokens. Legitimate DeFi apps (like Uniswap) need a one-time approval before a swap — that's normal. But always set the approval amount to just what you need for that transaction, not unlimited. After the trade, that approval stays active forever unless you revoke it.
Have I Been Pwned is a free service run by respected security researcher Troy Hunt. It aggregates billions of records from hundreds of real-world data breaches — including leaked passwords, email addresses, and personal data from hacked databases around the world.
If your email shows up in a breach, change that password immediately — and anywhere else you've reused it. Password reuse is one of the most dangerous habits in online security.
Log in to the breached service and update your password to something strong and unique — a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, at least 12 characters long.
Attackers take leaked passwords and try them on other services (called credential stuffing). If you used the same password on your email, exchange, or wallet — change those now.
2FA means even if someone has your password, they can't get in without also having your phone. Enable it on your email, crypto exchanges, and any financial account.
