​
Security Considerations

Deposited funds are held in audited smart contracts. However, no code is 100% risk-free. Only deposit funds you can afford to lose.
Only approve tokens for the official Limora contract. Verify contract addresses on the Addresses page.
Always access Limora through the official URL. Never approve transactions from links in DMs or emails.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Ensure you have ETH for gas - Try increasing gas limit - Check that you haven’t already approved
  • Wait for transaction to confirm on Base - Refresh the page - Check transaction status on Basescan
  • Verify you have enough USDC in wallet - Account for gas fees (need ETH) - Try depositing a smaller amount
