⚠️ Important Notes

Devnet Only

All SOL on BasedRaid is test currency with no real value. This is for testing purposes only.

Non-Custodial

BasedRaid never controls your funds. Everything is held in on-chain vaults (PDAs) controlled by immutable smart contract logic.

Do Your Research

Always verify raid creators before donating. Check their history, trust badges, and linked socials.
