Since yesterday there has been a lot of discussion within the community about the recent marketplace incident. We understand users’ concerns and want to openly explain what happened and what steps we’re taking moving forward.

Malicious activity involving the use of a fake token in NFT transactions was identified. The attacker took advantage of a combination of factors, including victims approving transactions without noticing the token details, as well as insufficient restrictions around third-party tokens.

The issue was quickly contained and fully resolved. The attack vector has been closed, and marketplace activity is operating normally.

According to our data, the incident affected four transactions. We will absolutely do everything within our power to support the affected users.

We would also like to get in touch with the current holder of the NFTs connected to this incident to discuss the situation and possible ways to resolve it. We are open to a constructive dialogue through any communication channel convenient for him including support inbox, anonymous messages to wallet, or any other.

Additional security changes are now being rolled out:

• disabling support for third-party tokens outside of relevant collections;
• strengthening warnings and additional security checks during transactions;
• keeping USDT trading available while adding extra layers of protection;
• working with wallet teams to ensure suspicious or potentially dangerous transactions are flagged more clearly and obvious before a user signs them.

Getgems is a decentralized application. We do not hold custody over user assets and cannot reverse blockchain transactions once they have been signed. That’s why it’s especially important to carefully review every transaction before confirming it — including the token, amount, recipient address, and transaction terms — especially when high-value assets are involved.

As more attention returns to the TON ecosystem, we are also seeing increased activity from scammers, fake tokens, and other malicious schemes. We strongly encourage users to stay vigilant and carefully verify any suspicious offers or transactions.

User safety remains our priority. We will continue strengthening platform protections, closing additional risk areas, and improving safety wherever possible.

With respect to the community,
The Getgems Team
