What are SPAM tokens?
The term SPAM transactions refers to token deposits typically received in personal wallets (and less commonly on exchanges), that have no real value and are intended solely for marketing or promotional purposes.
These tokens often have obvious names like “CLAIM REWARD TOKEN” or “INVITATION TOKEN – PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE”, designed to attract attention or prompt user action.
CryptoBooks automatically detects and labels SPAM tokens with a high level of certainty, without requiring any action from the user.
For all other cases, please follow the procedure outlined below.
