DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is financial services built on blockchain without traditional intermediaries like banks. It includes:

• Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Trade tokens without intermediaries
• Lending Protocols: Earn interest on your crypto
• Yield Farming: Earn rewards by providing liquidity
• Staking: Lock tokens to secure networks

For a complete guide, see our DeFi Guide.

Currently, you can earn rewards with IDIOT Token by:

• Liquidity Provision: Provide liquidity to IDIOT/ETH pools on Uniswap
• Staking: Coming soon - lock tokens for rewards
• Governance: Participate in community decisions

Remember that providing liquidity involves risks like impermanent loss.

Impermanent loss occurs when providing liquidity to trading pairs where the token prices diverge significantly. For example, if you provide liquidity to IDIOT/ETH and IDIOT price goes up while ETH stays the same, you might end up with less IDIOT than if you had just held the tokens.

This loss is "impermanent" because if prices return to their original ratio, the loss disappears. However, if prices don't return, the loss becomes permanent.

To keep your crypto safe:

• Use Hardware Wallets: For large amounts, use Ledger or Trezor
• Keep Seed Phrases Safe: Write them down, never store digitally
• Verify Addresses: Always double-check before sending
• Use Official Sources: Only use official websites and apps
• Enable 2FA: Use two-factor authentication where possible
• Keep Software Updated: Regular updates include security fixes

If you think you've been scammed:

1. Stop all transactions immediately
2. Move remaining funds to a new wallet
3. Change all passwords and enable 2FA
4. Report the scam to relevant authorities
5. Warn others about the scam
6. Learn from the experience to prevent future scams

Remember: legitimate projects will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys.

To verify a smart contract is safe:

• Check on Block Explorer: Look for "Verified" status on BaseScan
• Read the Code: If you can, review the smart contract code
• Check Audits: Look for security audits from reputable firms
• Community Reviews: See what others say about the contract
• Start Small: Test with small amounts first
• Use Established Protocols: Stick to well-known, audited protocols

Gas is the fee paid to execute transactions on the blockchain. It's like paying for postage to send a letter. Gas fees:

• Pay for computation: Cover the cost of processing your transaction
• Prevent spam: Deter malicious actors from flooding the network
• Vary by network: Base has very low gas fees compared to Ethereum
• Depend on congestion: Higher when network is busy

On Base, gas fees are typically $0.01-0.10, much cheaper than Ethereum.

Slippage is the difference between the expected price and the actual price you get when trading. It happens because:

• Price changes: Token prices move between when you submit and execute
• Low liquidity: Not enough tokens in the pool
• Large trades: Big orders affect the price more

You can set a maximum slippage tolerance (e.g., 0.5%) to protect against large price changes.

Common reasons for failed transactions:

• Insufficient gas: Not enough ETH to pay gas fees
• Low slippage tolerance: Price moved beyond your limit
• Insufficient balance: Not enough tokens to complete the trade
• Network congestion: Too many transactions at once
• Contract issues: Problems with the smart contract

Try increasing gas limit, adjusting slippage, or waiting for less congestion.
