Multi-currency wallets for affiliate marketers

Electronic digital wallets are becoming more and more relevant for affiliate marketers.
They enable one to perform digital transactions or simply accumulate savings. Your funds
can't be restricted or blocked. Today we will take a look at the most popular convenience
unsecured multi-currency non-custodial wallets and their terms of use.

Metamask – the most popular wallet for managing digital finances, savings, and using
decentralized apps on various platforms, like ETH, BSC, Polygon, Fantom, Avalanche, etc.
It comes as a smartphone application and a browser extension. You can link it to
DEX, DEFI, and other protocols and platforms. Features its in-built browser. It also has
in-built networks, which you can switch. You can add your networks manually. That
said, you will need the BSC network. You need to enter the following parameters to
add it to your wallet:

Network name:
Smart Chain

New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/

Network ID: 56

Symbol: BNB

Block exporter URL: Binance (BNB) Blockchain Explorer

Add other networks using the same algorithm.

Use coinmarketcap.com to add coins to your wallet. Enter the coin in the search bar and
add its smart contract to your wallet. You will find the correct network there, too.

Trust wallet - the most multi-functional wallet yet. It offers the same services as
Metamask, plus you can hold your BTC in Bitcoin’s network. Also, Trust wallet supports
trc20. It is available as an application for smartphones and a browser extension for PCs.

1inch - regarded as the most convenient wallet app in terms of functionality. All networks
have automatical configurations. However, it does not support BTC and trc20 networks.

After downloading the wallet you need to go through the sign up process. You will
recieve a seed phrase, which is the access key to the wallet. It is recommended to write
this phrase down and keep it safe, but NOT on any electronic devices. No personal
information is required for registration.

General rules for working with wallets:
  • Always disconnect your wallets from the service;
  • Keep the seed phrase in a secure place;
  • Always create a separate wallet for AirDrop and other types of activities.
All wallets are merely shells for your convenience. You can use the same seed phrase
for all 3 applications. This way they will operate and show your balance at the same time.

Pros and cons of using SEO to promote financial offers

Affiliate marketing makes use of numerous sources to drive to offers. Search Engine
Optimization is regarded as one of the best of such sources. SEO is an array of steps
taken to optimize a website in order to gain rating in search engines. When optimization
processes are established in a smart way, SEO can provide passive leads and stable
long-term sales. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons using SEO to promote financial
offers.

Pros:
  • SEO in financial offers yields a stable stream of high-volume, high-quality organic
    traffic that you can drive to the landing page;

  • Solicitation cost is lower, since there is no need to pay for ad campaigns;

  • Good conversions - trust is higher in leads that find your website in the search
    engine;

  • If you make use of a report, there is a good chance of launching web pages and
    entire sections before your competitors;

  • Despite the contextual restrictions, Google displays many trusted financial
    resources in the top search results. It also supports Google Finance - a convenient
    platform for traders with sections, like various currencies, summarized analytics
    and headlines from Google News.
Cons:
  • SEO is not a fast way of making money. It will take some time before the website
    reaches the top search results;

  • You need a specific budget to hire specialists, provided you aren’t well informed
    on analytics, development and copywriting;

  • Rapidly changing search algorithms do not allow you to calculate the exact result
    of driving to financial offers through SEO;

  • Always need to stay on top of trends;

  • Prioritize “white hat” methods of SEO optimization. Since quicker ways, “black hat”
    and “gray hat,” increase your risk of being banned;

  • Competition in high-frequency requests;

  • Scrupulous work with analytics and content.
Conclusion

Using SEO to drive to financial offers is a growing sphere of activity. It has its risks, sure.
But, if you’re able to retain relevance in your platform and promptly respond to changes
in the niche, you will enjoy the results.

Select several offers and design websites to match their theme. Promote them until you
get a high-volume target audience. Find partners that need targeted traffic that you drive.

Types of financial offers for affiliate marketing

In affiliate marketing, the financial vertical remains one of those that have the most
potential. It is a broad sphere with a diverse target audience.

Financial offers in affiliate marketing are divided into several categories:
  1. Investments. These include deposits, trust management, and participating in
    pools, mints, IDO, ICO, IPO, and IGO. This is the most popular vector. It will suit
    both rookies and adepts. Features offer good payouts and good conversions.

  2. Crypto exchanges. Registration, deposit, verification.

  3. Crypto exchanges, wallets. Financial transactions via platforms and applications.

  4. Affiliate marketing. Presumes selling bundles or participation in pools, or
    information support.

  5. Trading, scalping. Unassisted or supervised trading on the exchange. Conversions
    don’t come easily, as this category presumes to sell theoretical and practical
    information.

  6. Autotrading, copy-trading. Trading with the use of specialized software and bots.
    Driving to foreign Internet sources has more potential.

  7. Training, info business. Courses, info club memberships, VIPs. The offer intends to
    sell informational services. How well the target audience is gathered determines
    how easy or difficult sales will take place. Usually, this category features high
    payouts with difficult conversions.

  8. Mining platforms. Content on mining is promoted through various requests.
    Usually, this implies selling hardware and software for mining, as well as services
    for renting PoW platforms. One often comes across links that lead to exchanges
    and coining services.
You should present beginners in the digital finances vector offers on training,
investments, auto trading or trust management, or pool participation. Ad creatives
must feature income with little effort and a luxurious life. A push could lead to an
expert’s blog. Make sure to place an FAQ section with reviews on your landing page.

People with experience in this sphere need to see investments and trading. Ad
creatives can display advantages and bonuses. They can lead right to the
registration page. On the other hand, the creatives can navigate the potential client
to a preland with trending industries, expert articles, and bonuses.

The financial market and industry are constantly fluctuating. That’s why affiliates need
to adapt promptly to the new environment. Change up creatives, the GEO, and offers.
And don’t use the same bundle over long periods.

Aivix is an affiliate program that can provide you with a quality selection of offers.

Moderation and bypassing bans for financial offer

One of the difficulties of working with financial offers is a large number of restrictions.
Direct advertising of financial offers is banned by social media and search engines.

The finance vertical is quite narrow. Traffic quality is scrutinized, so fraud is eliminated.
There is no point in working dishonestly, as this carries many reputational risks.
However, white-hat offers also occasionally encounter bans.

It is recommended to use cloaking tools, PWA apps, anti-detect browsers,
proxies, and quality account farming to bypass moderation complications and
the risk of bans.
This is especially relevant for traffic sources with strict moderation,
like FB, IG, and Google.

Cloaks – these are programs that distribute traffic. They display the whitepage to
moderator bots, and the necessary financial offers to target users. They also help
to conceal the page contents from spy resources.

Trackers – services that compile statistics from advertising and CPA networks that
distribute traffic to various prelands, offers, and affiliate programs. This takes place
in real-time and in one place, without altering the link.

PWA apps – a technology that enables one to install a website under the disguise of
an application onto a smartphone. By tapping the PWA app button, the user
navigates to the necessary website without opening the browser.

Anti-detect browsers give the option of working from different accounts within the
same application, but the traffic is seen as coming from different sources. Features
the following functions: multi-accounting, bypassing anti-fraud systems, access of
numerous users to a single account, anonymity, an artificial increase of
likes/shares/views, and farming referrals.

Proxy – an app or device that acts as a gateway between you and the Internet. It
provides every profile with a unique IP address. This helps avoid suspicion of
breaching regulations and safeguards you from being banned. Also, it is used for
account security and to bypass fraud-protection systems.

Account farming – imitates activity on the page of an account. It is used to bypass
anti-fraud systems and increase trust from social media bots. This allows you to
avoid manual moderation of an account and go through bot moderation quicker.

Instead of testing a multitude of hypotheses, it is more profitable to get access to
the necessary services and check out different approaches to creatives and landing
pages: Aivix - chat [ENG]

Traffic through mobile apps

Mobile apps for affiliate marketing are a trendy way of driving traffic to any vertical.

There are 4 ways of getting mobile apps:

1.Creating and promoting your apps. Types of mobile apps for affiliate marketing:
  • A PWA website turned into an application;

  • Webview - an app that opens a website inside;

  • Native apps - installed and launched without links to the browser;

  • Hybrid apps - a combination of web and native apps.
2. Purchasing an application.

3. Renting software.

4. Using the software of an affiliate program is the best option.

Features of mobile affiliate marketing:
  • The user has a rather neutral attitude toward ads when they are seen through
    an app. The same goes for offers that are integrated into the app, contextual
    banners, and targeted ads;

  • No AdBlock and other browser ad blockers;

  • No banner blindness and increased trust levels in users;

  • Fewer ads in mobile search;

  • Testing mobile ads are more expensive than desktop ads;

  • The ad text needs to be shorter, images smaller, and an action button is a
    must-have;

  • Moderation trouble and risk of bans can be bypassed using a cloak or PWA
    applications;

  • It is advised to track statistics of every single offer and disconnect traffic with
    the parameters that do not sell;

  • Ad networks have a lot of bots. To filter them out, you need specialized
    anti-fraud systems, like Forensiq or FraudScore;

  • You need to drive traffic through the same channels and platforms that are
    displayed with no errors and are user-friendly on mobile devices;

  • Lots of traffic from in-app ads.
You can use Appsflyer stats to find out which traffic sources for mobile apps are
popular in various GEOs. Also, their report provides numerous resources for
generating traffic breaking them down by region, application type, and operating
system.

Summing up

The large part of the world’s traffic falls to mobile devices. The mobile app market
is growing every year, so are income levels.

Main advantages of driving traffic through apps are long-term communication with
the user, a loyal attitude of users, and a large selection of traffic sources.

Virtual phone numbers service for receiving SMSs

Virtual phone numbers are special numbers with codes of existing service providers.
They can be used to receive SMSs from various websites and services, without having

several accounts, registering from different countries, bypassing GEO restrictions and
protection from scammers.

KYC verification and why do you need it

Greetings to all affiliate marketers. The Aivix affiliate network decided to launch a range
of educational articles on topics that are absolutely necessary to know for affiliate
marketing in the financial vertical. This is necessary to better understand and choose
financial offers, design relevant creatives, productively use financial platforms and avoid
errors, in regard to fine technicalities of digital finances.

Today, you will find out what KYC verification is and why you need it.

KYC (know your customer) is a required verification of personal information. In this
procedure ID is used. As a rule, clients need to provide information for KYC during the
registration process, or when personal data is changed. The main stages of the
procedure consist of gathering and verifying data and a further comprehensive
verification process with a constant monitoring of users.

The verification procedure looks as follows:
  • Registration on the platform (login, password, place of residence);
  • Verification of documents;
  • Identity verification (face recognition).
In affiliate marketing, especially when working with financial offers, one
confronts KYC on various financial platforms, payments systems and other
services.


Many people try to avoid KYC and use drops. They believe that KYC verification is
created to collect user data, track their financial transactions and charge a possible
future tax. This view is partially correct, since the regulation of digital finances is
only starting to implement a single set of rules and regulations.

Nonetheless, KYC has a number of other useful functions. This proves that the
platform is secure, and the more thorough the verification of the user, the higher
the level of reliability. In this way, financial verification of users is not deemed as
“money laundering”. Also, the financial platform acts as a guarantee of the safety
of your funds and the success of financial operations, unless you make a mistake
(e.g. you select the wrong network or specify the wrong address for transactions, etc.
Read more on the matter in the following articles). It also provides a certain
level of security for your account and enables you to use the platform’s services
with no restrictions.

Smart contracts. Working algorithm

Greetings, financial vertical affiliates! In continuation of our study of digital finances, today
we have in store for you an article by Aivix about smart contracts and the algorithms
behind them – something one should be aware of to secure results when working with
financial offers.

A smart contract is a specific algorithm recorded within the blockchain that’s used to
conduct transactions, for example, to exchange assets through decentralized applications.
They basically serve as paper contracts, just in a digital form.

When concluding a smart contract, the parties:

1. Prescribe the terms of the transaction.

2. Provide for non-compliance penalties.

3 Put their digital signatures.

The smart contract itself determines the fulfillment of all conditions, and makes a
decision:
to complete the transaction, impose a fine on the participants, or even close
access to the assets in question. Participants in the process can be sure that
non-compliance with the terms of the contract can lead to its cancellation.

Example:

You promise your friend a million after they create a mobile app. This can be turned
into a smart contract and grant it access to your account. As soon as the contract
sees that your friend has indeed created the mobile app, or rather, a smart contract
has been added, it will transfer the money to them directly and automatically
without your participation in any way.

Working algorithm

Just like with a paper contract, the terms are subject to mandatory implementation.
Only then will the transaction be finalized, with the users each obtaining the
pre-negotiated result.

After the algorithm is complete and the transaction successfully carried out, the
smart contracts turn into part of the registry, becoming embedded into the
blockchain.

The key feature of a smart contract is the complete execution of a conditional
algorithm of sequential actions, with the main purpose being securing the safe
conduct of various transactions and providing the ability to track them.

Advantages of smart contracts:

- No interruptions due to a lack of intermediaries.

- Transactions carried out with the help of smart contracts boast of having a
high level of security and allow for tracking.

- Smart contracts eliminate the need for 3rd parties, significantly cutting down
the costs of intermediate operations. No one can hack, manipulate or
reverse the algorithm.

- Speed – transactions are automatically executed on the blockchain
application network.

- No room for human error. The digital contract eliminates such risks.

Digital finance ecosystems

Welcome, affiliates. The Aivix affiliate network continues to analyze useful topics with
info vital to anyone looking to turn a profit driving traffic to financial offers.

Today you will learn about the blockchain ecosystem and its components.

A digital finance ecosystem is a system built upon a common code base, taking into
account the principles adopted within the system. Projects take the main code and
add the needed features to it. In addition to the code base, projects also attempt to
duplicate the universal ecosystem principles as well: a focus on decentralization,
honesty and protocol transparency.

What does the blockchain ecosystem consist of currently:

● Exchanges – these serve as a platform for listing all kinds of tokens, as well as swap
services, providing liquidity, P2P exchanges, etc.;

● Wallets – digital asset storage tools;

● Blockchain Platform (networks) – the main layers, serving as the foundations for
economies and apps as well as the basis for the previously mentioned tools;

● Stablecoin – a selection of large and widely-accepted coins and tokens
(USDT, USDC, BUSD), pegged to $1 and therefore devoid of volatility-related risks

● Tooling – utilities and trackers that market participants use to track exchange rates
and other market developments;

● DeFi (decentralized finances) – a layer of public financial applications (dApp’s)
that interact with each other and do not have a central management point
(node), government affiliation or geographic restrictions;

● Gaming + NFT (unique tokens) – tools and apps that are linked to GameFi or the
NFT sectors: play-2-earn games, NFT marketplaces, game economy tools and
metauniverses.

Ecosystems within the same network are blockchain-based apps and services that
create an ecosystem for a specific digital currency. The more projects present in
the ecosystem, the more stable and reliable it is.

Let's look at the example of the Chiliz fan token ecosystem, which is especially
relevant in connection with the upcoming World Cup. This is a project for fan
interaction that offers them blockchain-based goods and services – fans can vote
for product designs, the song that’ll play when their club scores or even pick which
players will be fielded for a specific game.

What are blockchain transactions?

Greetings to all affiliate marketers in the financial vertical and others, too. Every marketer
who drives traffic to finances must know how to use blockchain transactions and be
well-acquainted with the relevant networks. Otherwise, you risk losing funds during the
transaction.

Let’s start with the terminology:

Transaction
– this is an operation in the blockchain. For example, transferring coins
between wallets or using a smart contract. When people transfer digital assets to
each other is also an example of a transaction.

Blockchain – is a distributed database that contains information about all the
transactions conducted by members of the system. The information is stored in the
form of a consecutively laid-out chain of blocks. Each one contains a certain
number of transactions.

Digital wallets – is a tool for storing, transferring, and receiving digital assets.

How does blockchain work

When we conduct any transaction we transfer certain data in the blockchain
network. To transfer this data, we first need to encrypt it. We use a public key
for encryption. Once the data is on the receiving side, the person can use a
private key to decrypt the data and see the text we are all familiar with.

How do digital wallets work

The address of a digital wallet is a public key. It is what we state to conduct
the transaction.

A private key – this is a key that is required to access a digital wallet. It has
the function of a signature, thanks to which you (the private key holder) will
be sure that a certain transaction was created by you, and thus you approved
it. It is not recommended to share this key with anyone.

Features of transferring digital assets
  1. The wallet must contain the main network coin to pay commission. For
    example, Cardano works with ADA, Cosmos – ATOM, Polkadot – DOT,
    BSC – BNB, ETH – Ethereum, Polygon – MATIC, Avalanche – AVAX,
    TRON – TRX, Solana – SOL, etc.

  2. A transfer is conducted within one’s network. You can find out about
    the network by visiting CoinmarketCap or CoinGecko and viewing your
    contract number.
Which network should you choose?
  1. First, make sure that the networks are the same.

  2. If the service requests that you make a transfer using ETH, then you
    will either have to cancel the transaction or pay a high commission.

  3. If you are transferring to yourself, then choose the network with the
    lowest commission.

  4. You need to keep in mind the wallet you are transferring to. For
    example, you can only use the Cardano network to transfer to
    NAMI, Yoroi, and Eternl.

What is Airdrop?

Greetings, marketers. We continue to explore digital finance tools that every affiliate
marketer will find helpful and can use them to promote financial offers with Aivix. Today
we will take a look at Airdrop.

AirDrop (like dropping cargo from a plane) is a popular tactic in digital finances. It is
aimed at drawing attention to a project by handing out free assets (tokens or coins).

How does Airdrop work

Developers send free coins based on certain criteria and provided one completes
certain actions, like registration on a platform or referring others to register.

Airdrop campaigns presume rewarding a user for getting acquainted with information
on the project. Airdrop can easily help you raise awareness about your ICO and
crypto currency.

Airdrop campaigns are a form of profitable marketing that is used by numerous
projects in the past 3 years.

Quite often, Airdrop campaigns increase the value of your coins without your direct
participation. Stick to the following guidelines to maximize your Airdrop
campaign’s success:


1. Attain maximum trust levels from buyers by creating a quality website and being
active on social media.

2. Don’t overdo it with the number of coins that you give away. It could cause more
harm than good.

3. Set a goal you want to achieve using the Airdrop campaign and gradually move
towards it.

Types of Airdrop

They vary according to participation rules and conditions.

1. Regular Airdrop. Giveaway on no terms, or minimal terms.

1.jpg


2. Bounty Airdrop. Coins are given to users who met certain requirements. For
example, the developers can request a community message to be reposted.

2.jpg


3. Limited Airdrop. The giveaway is limited to a specific group of people, e.g.
previous investors.

3.jpg


4. Airdrop for the audience. The giveaway is relevant to users who are already
using the project’s services.

  • Do not download suspicious software.

The psychology of users of financial offers

Greetings to all our affiliate marketers. Today, the Aivix affiliate network decided to
break down the topic of user psychology in financial offers. We collected some content
that will facilitate selecting creatives and increase conversion.

Psychology is one of those essential factors that have an impact on financial decisions.
An investor’s behavior is affected by the individual’s personality, the way of interpreting
information, risks,income, and market dynamics.

The beginner’s mindset

1. They are looking for a quick way to solve problems. It’s boring to accumulate capital
for years, but going into trading with leverage of 100 is cool and intriguing.

2. They tend to pass the buck when it comes to liability. An investor has more trust when
they are protected by a third party, e.g., using the logo of a famous exchange. In that
case they can avoid responsibility.

1.jpg
2.jpg


The mindset of experienced users

1. There is no certainty in markets, and noone is sure of anything.

2. Noone can be trusted.

3. Your strategy works for you and instead of you.

3.jpg
4.jpg


5.jpg
6.jpg


Approaches that work on a broad audience

FOMO
(Fear of Missing Out) - a syndrome of lost profit. This is an emotion that
investors feel when they rush to purchase an asset out of fear of losing out on an
opportunity to get income.

8.jpg
9.jpg


The illusion of an alternative - a good strategy is to offer your user a choice.

10.jpg
11.jpg


The basic options for creatives from the user psychology perspective

1. Using the urgency trigger. For example, a temporary registration bonus or free
entry into a private community, additional interest rate under the disguise of a
limited promotion that will end in a few hours.

12.jpg
13.jpg


2. The success story of a regular person. In the past he had a low-wage job, but now
he has a high income. The trigger seems simple, yet it works well, especially when the
user is separated from his income by a single click.

13.jpg
14.jpg


3. Well-designed website ads. A tried-and-tested model is a bundle where the heading
goes along the lines of “new message,” and the “body” contains a short description of
the offer.

15.jpg


4. Offer immediate money (e.g., a deposit to the balance) after filling in a short
application. Specify the possible amount. The specific sum may differ depending on the
GEO.

15.jpg


5. Useful content allows you to cover a larger part of the audience, even the part that
wasn’t interested in financial offers. Offers new ways of making money, analyze the
latest news, etc. We can guarantee high click rates for this type of ad.

Differences between DEX and CEX

Welcome, affiliates. Each of you has heard about centralized and decentralized exchanges.
In continuation of studying digital finance, Aivix has prepared an article about
CEX, DEX, and their differences. Let’s get to the bottom of it

CEX (centralized crypto exchange) – a platform that brings together buyers and sellers.

Its key-feature implies that a certain managerial body is responsible for your assets. But
remember that currency stored on the CEX belongs to the latter, not you. Examples of
centralized crypto exchanges: Binance, Coinbase, Huobi and others.

DEX (decentralized crypto exchanges) – a platform that connects buyers and sellers who
want to buy/sell digital coins.

Unlike CEX, transactions and trading are automated on such platforms because of smart
contracts and dApps usage. Examples of decentralized crypto exchanges: Uniswap,
Pancakeswap, 1inch, Minswap and others.

Transactions

CEX
acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller. It charges a commission
for the transaction, and, in return, users get a user-friendly interface and additional
services.

DEX links market participants, not buy and sell orders. The holder engages directly with
the other holder.

Available assets

CEX
supports both digital and fiat assets. It also allows users to deposit and withdraw
funds using credit cards and other payment options.

DEX – fiat currencies are not available. To withdraw funds, users have to contact either
third parties or CEX services.

User experience

CEX
– a variety of services and tools are available, including margin trading – a trade
loan against the security of a specified amount.

The DEX interface is pretty limited and harder for newcomers to figure out.

Legal aspects

CEX
complies with the law and forces users to comply with the KYC verification policy
and AML, a procedure for the bank to check customers for suspicious financial
transactions.

DEX does not require verification or personal information.

Business model

The СEX business model is similar to that of banks, since the exchange stores funds
and private keys, assuming responsibility for their security.

DEX – no servers for storing users' private keys, and the owners manage their
logins, passwords and funds themselves.

CEX and DEX each have their pros and cons. Feel free to use both types, but just
follow the rules of basic digital security.

together with Aivix, will look at digital finance loans, namely – lending и borrowing.

Main concepts

Lending
– coin or token holders can lend digital currency to others through a smart
contract and receive income from the interest paid on the loan.

Borrowing – holders can use one token as collateral while borrowing another one. After
that, the user can put the borrowed coins into farming. It enables them to preserve their
initial investments, which can increase in value over time. While at the same time
receiving income from the borrowed coins. For example, say you have 1 ETH. You want
some USDT; but you don’t want to sell your ETH. In this case you put your ETH up as
collateral and borrow a USDT. And once you’re done, you pay off your debt.

Farming (Yield Farming) – the practice of depositing or lending crypto assets in order
to receive high interest or crypto income in return.

How digital finance lending works

The way it works
is you take some user’s cryptocurrency and redirect it to someone for
a fee. The exact way the debt is managed varies from platform to platform. You can
find crypto lending services on both centralized and decentralized platforms, with the
basic universe principles.

In addition to borrowing currency, you can also passively earn income and interest
by putting your own cryptocurrency into a pool that manages your funds.

Depending on the strength of the smart contract you are using, the risk of losing
funds is usually low. It may be because the borrower has provided collateral. Or the
CEFI (centralized finance) platform is managing the loan.

There’s usually 3 parties involved in any loan: the lender, the borrower, and the DEFI
(decentralized finance) platform or crypto exchange.

In most cases, the borrower is required to post collateral before being given the
ability to borrow digital currency.

You may also resort to fast loans without any collateral. On the other side of the
loan, you might have a smart contract that mints stablecoins, or a platform that
issues funds to another user. Lenders add their cryptocurrency to the pool, which
then manages the entire process and sends them a portion of the interest procured.

Types of scams in digital financing

Welcome, affiliates.Today, Aivix prepared a list of the most common scams encountered
in digital financing. Know how to protect yourself when working with financial offers
and using digital currencies.

Main types of scams

1.
Websites that ask you to enter your private wallet key. For example, you get an
email that claims you won 1 ETH, but to claim it - you need to enter your seed phrase.

2. Comments under videos of popular bloggers. Comments may contain responses
from scammers with a name similar to the channel owner, advertising various offers
to the audience. Don't get fooled, it’s a trick.

3. Scam tokens. You buy a token but can’t sell it. Token smart contract contains a
condition that prohibits the sale of the token to anyone except the creator.

4. Fishing websites and apps. Scammers make a perfect copy of a website but with
a barely noticeable difference in the domain name. As soon as you connect your
wallet to such a site, kiss your money goodbye. A lot of fishing apps imitating DEX
services have been popping up in app stores lately.

5. Covert whales. If a new project’s token has only been listed on a DEX, first check
the former’s first transactions in the blockchain. If you notice large transfers of the
token to several wallets, run, because the whales will turn a profit on you and then
proceed to plunge the coin’s price to zero.

6. Scam Play-to-Earn games. A game project is created and promoted on social
media, showcasing its tokenomics and roadmap. You’re then offered to mint the
game’s NFTs or purchase an in-game token. After a while, the website goes
down, permanently.

7. Account brute-forcing. If you’ve saved your wallet’s private phrases in
messengers, social networks, device notes, browser bookmarks, or other apps, you
may fall victim to special software that hijacks keys to e-wallets.

8. Randomly appearing tokens. Scammers send copies of real tokens to your wallet.
You may lose the remaining funds on your balance if you attempt to move or sell
these new tokens. Or the button that launches the smart contract can be disguised
as the icon of the token itself. Once you attempt to click it to view or remove it,
you’ll launch a smart contract that will transfer your digital currency to the accounts
of the scammers or will upload phishing software to your device.

In one of the following articles, we will talk about digital finance safety precautions.

What's an NFT

We welcome our arbitrage traders. Today with the Aivix team, we will discuss NFT – get
the essence of the technology, find some practical application and figure out how to
make a profit.

NFT (Non-fungible token) is a digital asset built on blockchain technology and is used to
certify ownership of some digital assets. With NFTs, you can buy and sell any digital
asset like images, music, video, text, 3D model, animation, etc. The main point of NFT
is its value and rareness. Some NFTs are crafted by notable artists. Many NFTs are
tokenized assets from the real world.

Types of NFT

NFT artworks by artists and designers. They are bought and sold by art collectors. For
the most part the price depends on how famous the artist is.

Utility NFTs – providing holders with real-world rewards. They are used for a variety of
practical applications, like acting as a ticket to an event or providing a holder with
long-term membership to a club, sharing access to software, receiving bonuses from
brands, and so on. Utility NFT focuses on providing exclusive collectibles only available
to holders.

Game and metaverse NFTs – various items, tools, game characters, etc.

Celebrity NFTs – are created, promoted, or owned by musicians, athletes, sports
clubs, or brands. They can be collectible or provide various benefits like access to a
fan club, fan meetings and others.

HYPE NFTs – dozens of collections that are released into the web daily and carry
almost no value.

Other NFTs - domains, Internet codes, tokenized documents, and other digital stuff.

Buying an NFT gives you a digital certificate of ownership. It stays on the web forever.
With each successful transaction, you'll receive the very token that holds all data about
the transaction, seller, buyer, and the price.

You can buy and sell NFT in exchange for digital currency.
NFTs provide digital ownership and solve an issue of plagiarism and fraud.

Everything You Need to Know About Blockchain

1.jpg


Welcome to our arbitrage traders - we keep exploring the fundamentals of digital finance.
Today Aivix will share everything you need to know about blockchain.

Blockchain – just like the name indicates, is a chain of blocks which stores information
about transactions within the entire system.

Blocks are data structures within the blockchain database, where transaction data in a
cryptocurrency blockchain is recorded.

Blockchain is mades of data blocks linked together to form a continuous chain of
information records that follows some rules.

2.jpg


Let's take a look at a banknote. The moment when the note was printed indicates the
beginning of its history. Imagine if every wallet-to-wallet transaction in the entire history
of this note was recorded on the note itself. Digital currency is exactly the same, but with
recorded transactions in a digital form. It becomes the blockchain measuring unit. For
example, in the Bitcoin blockchain (BTC), the unit is bitcoin. In the Ethereum
blockchain - Ether and so on.

Blockchain technology works as a decentralized system. The rules are decided ahead
of the launch; and no one can change them. All transactions are autonomous, requiring
no human intervention. All work is done by mathematical code.

Only the owner has access to the blockchain wallet. All wallet's transactions are visible
in the public domain. This domain shows the transaction history: every input, withdrawal
and transfer. Even though the transactions are easily traceable, they do not reveal the
identities behind the wallets. Therefore, the blockchain is considered to be trustworthy
and transparent system.

Blockchains can be divided into three types:


1. Public/open.
2. Private/private.
3. Exclusive.

Blockchain allows complete strangers to use this technology and complete transactions
with reliance. Blockchain is recognized to be useful in corruption prevention as it is
impossible to secretly forge data inside the network.

5.jpg


Blockchain is an unbreakable digital storage of actions. Network's reliability made it
applicable in improving the monetary transaction efficiency and to exchange information
among individuals, corporations and even the public sector.

Advantages of blockchain transactions:

• Fast international money transfers.
• High liquidity.
• High anonymity and privacy.

7.jpg


• Smart contracts.
• Making of public registers.
• Proof of ownership and copyright.

Cybersecurity for Digital Finance

We welcome our arbitrage traders. We have already covered the types of digital finance
fraud, so today, we will talk about safety regulations.

The basis for safer digital finance:

1. Connect your wallet only to trusted sources. Beware of scam apps and websites.

2. Check the website's authenticity. You can check real decentralized exchange links on
CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko.

3. Choose the correct transfer network. Make sure to know the network before
confirming the transfer. Be mindful to check whether the end-exchange works with
the network you use. Otherwise the funds can get lost. Make sure that the transferred
coin's network has been added to your wallet. If you complete the transfer before
adding the token's contract, it will be displayed in your wallet after adding the contract.

4. Check all the characters of the wallet address before each transaction.
Some viruses can replace your copied wallet's number with a fake wallet's digits.

5. Do not be fooled by offers of trust management and other offers of
help, advice, etc., from strangers. Do not click on any unknown links.

6. Discover new coins on similar sites: honeypot.is and check first project transactions
in blockchain. If you see massive token overflows to several wallets, do not buy. Review
listing information only in official sources.

7. Never share your usernames, passwords and private keys with anyone. Do not
mention your main wallets in the public and media spheres. Check the wallet's balance.
To diversify, use multiple wallets for different purposes.

8. Do not interact with coins whose origin you do not know. If they appear in your
wallet – do not click on any buttons. It is better not to touch it and forget about their
existence.

9. Never tell your seed-phrase to anyone. Do not enter it anywhere on the web besides
the original exchange website. Always disconnect the wallet from the service. Always
create a separate wallet for AirDrop, new games and other stuff. Keep the seed-phrase
in a safe place. Do not keep it in chats, apps, or any electronic devices in general.
