👿 Don’t fall for scammers!

We have seen an uptick in reports of scammers DM-ing users on Discord, Twitter and other channels advertising fake HBOT token sales, as well as bot spammers that impersonated the names & profile of Hummingbot Foundation team members.

If you see anyone trying to scam you or other Hummingbot users, please report it in the #scam-reports Discord channel.

Hummingbot Foundation has never conducted any pre-sale or sale of HBOT tokens, and anyone purporting to offer HBOT tokens is a scammer.

The only way to get HBOT tokens from the Foundation is to earn them via Bounties!
