A familiar logo or a message from someone claiming to be support is not proof that a website is genuine. Use the full address, start from a trusted source, and pause before signing anything.
1. Start with the official app directory
The safest starting point is the verified-app directory in the official Explorer ↗. Open the link yourself, compare the complete domain name, and use the directory as your reference instead of clicking an unexpected message.
2. Check the whole domain
Look beyond the logo and the first words in the address bar. Small changes such as an extra hyphen, a different ending, a misspelling, or a look-alike character can lead to a different website. The community dashboards are hosted at:
aptmdao.com— community hubaffdashboard.aptmdao.com— affiliate dashboardminedashboard.aptmdao.com— miner dashboard
These are independent tools. The official Apertum destinations are maintained separately, including apertum.io ↗ and aptmdao.io ↗. Always compare them with the Explorer directory because addresses can change.
3. Treat support messages as untrusted
People may imitate support staff on Telegram, email, social media, or messaging apps. A genuine support process should never need your seed phrase, private key, password, or a screen-share of your wallet. Never send funds to “unlock” an account or to fix a supposed error.
4. Read the wallet prompt
Before approving anything, check the network, destination address, amount, and the action requested. If a website asks you to connect or sign when you expected a read-only lookup, close it. The community dashboards do not require a wallet connection and never submit a transaction.
5. Verify important results independently
Use the official Explorer to inspect a transaction or address when the result matters. These dashboards make public information easier to read, but they cannot replace the source record or official application.
