🛡️ Anti-Scam Checklist

Before every transaction, verify ALL of the following:

⚠️ Red Flags - STOP if you see these:

  • Token mint address doesn't match exactly
  • Website URL is slightly different (typosquatting)
  • Someone DM'd you a "better" bridge link
  • Token shows different decimal places (e.g., 9 or 18)
  • Price seems too good to be true (likely honeypot)

💱 Buying wRTC on Raydium

Prerequisites

  • Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack recommended)
  • SOL for transaction fees (~0.001 SOL per swap)
  • SOL or USDC to swap for wRTC

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open Raydium

Navigate to the official Raydium swap URL:

https://raydium.io/swap/?inputMint=sol&outputMint=12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4X

Step 2: Verify the Token

CRITICAL: Check ALL of these before proceeding:

  1. Look at the URL - confirm outputMint is 12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4X
  2. In the Raydium UI, click the output token dropdown
  3. Verify the mint address displayed matches exactly
✅ Correct: 12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4X
❌ Wrong:   12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4Y (different last char)
❌ Wrong:   Any other address

Step 3: Connect Wallet

  1. Click "Connect Wallet" in the top right
  2. Select your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
  3. Approve the connection in your wallet popup

Step 4: Enter Swap Amount

  1. Input: Select SOL (or USDC)
  2. Output: wRTC (should auto-populate)
  3. Enter the amount of SOL you want to swap
  4. Review the estimated wRTC you'll receive

Step 5: Adjust Slippage (Optional)

  • Default: 0.5% (recommended for stable pairs)
  • Volatile markets: 1-2%
  • Never exceed 5% - high slippage increases MEV risk

To adjust: Click the gear icon → Set slippage tolerance

Step 6: Execute Swap

  1. Click "Swap"
  2. Review the transaction details in the confirmation modal
  3. Click "Confirm Swap"
  4. Approve the transaction in your wallet
  5. Wait for confirmation (~2-5 seconds)

Step 7: Verify Receipt

  1. Check your wallet balance for wRTC
  2. View transaction on Solscan or SolanaFM
  3. The token should appear automatically in most wallets

If wRTC doesn't appear:

  • Phantom: Click "Manage token list" → Search wRTC → Enable
  • Solflare: Click "+" → Paste mint address → Add

🌉 Bridging RTC to wRTC

Bridge your native RTC (earned from mining) to wRTC on Solana.

Prerequisites

  • RustChain wallet with RTC balance
  • Solana wallet address (destination)
  • Both wallets ready and accessible

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Navigate to BoTTube Bridge

Open the official bridge URL:

https://bottube.ai/bridge/wrtc

Always verify the URL:

  • ✅ https://bottube.ai/bridge/wrtc
  • ❌ Any variation (bottube.com, bottube-bridge.xyz, etc.)

Step 2: Select Bridge Direction

Choose "RTC → wRTC" (RustChain to Solana)

Step 3: Connect RustChain Wallet

  1. Click "Connect RustChain Wallet"
  2. Enter your wallet address or connect via available method
  3. Verify your RTC balance displays correctly

Step 4: Enter wRTC Destination

  1. Enter your Solana wallet address (where wRTC will be sent)
  2. Double-check this address - transactions are irreversible
  3. Verify the address starts with a letter/number (base58 format)
✅ Valid:   7nx8QmzxD1wKX7QJ1FVqT5hX9YvJxKqZb8yPoR3dL8mN
❌ Invalid: 0x... (Ethereum format)
❌ Invalid: Any non-base58 characters

Step 5: Enter Amount

  1. Enter the amount of RTC to bridge
  2. Review the bridge fee (usually 0.1-0.5%)
  3. Ensure you have enough RTC after fees

Step 6: Review and Confirm

Final Checklist:

  • Source RTC wallet has sufficient balance
  • Destination Solana address is correct
  • Amount + fees are acceptable
  • You understand this may take 5-30 minutes

Click "Bridge" or "Confirm"

Step 7: Wait for Confirmation

Bridging involves two transactions:

  1. Lock on RustChain (~1-5 minutes)
  2. Mint on Solana (~1-5 minutes)

Monitor the bridge UI for status updates. You'll see:

  • "Pending" → "Confirming" → "Completed"

Step 8: Verify wRTC Receipt

  1. Check your Solana wallet for wRTC balance
  2. View transaction on Solscan
  3. The wRTC should appear automatically

🔄 Withdrawing wRTC to RTC

Bridge your wRTC back to native RTC on RustChain.

Prerequisites

  • Solana wallet with wRTC balance
  • RustChain wallet address (destination)
  • SOL for Solana transaction fees (~0.0001 SOL)

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Navigate to BoTTube Bridge

Open: https://bottube.ai/bridge/wrtc

Step 2: Select Bridge Direction

Choose "wRTC → RTC" (Solana to RustChain)

Step 3: Connect Solana Wallet

  1. Click "Connect Solana Wallet"
  2. Select your wallet provider (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)
  3. Approve the connection
  4. Verify your wRTC balance displays

Step 4: Enter RTC Destination

  1. Enter your RustChain wallet address
  2. Double-check this address
  3. Ensure it's a valid RustChain address format

Step 5: Enter Amount

  1. Enter the amount of wRTC to bridge
  2. Review the bridge fee
  3. Click "Max" to bridge entire balance (minus fees)

Step 6: Review and Confirm

Final Checklist:

  • Source wRTC balance is sufficient
  • Destination RustChain address is correct
  • Amount + fees are acceptable
  • You have SOL for transaction fees

Click "Bridge"

Step 7: Approve Solana Transaction

  1. Your wallet will prompt for transaction approval
  2. Review the transaction details
  3. Click "Approve" or "Sign"

Step 8: Wait for Confirmation

Bridging process:

  1. Burn on Solana (~5-15 seconds)
  2. Release on RustChain (~5-30 minutes)

Monitor the bridge UI for updates.

Step 9: Verify RTC Receipt

  1. Check your RustChain wallet balance
curl -sk "https://rustchain.org/wallet/balance?miner_id=my-miner-id"

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: "Insufficient SOL for transaction fees"

Solution:

  • Ensure your Solana wallet has at least 0.001 SOL
  • Buy SOL on any exchange and transfer to your wallet
  • Even small amounts (0.01 SOL) are sufficient for many transactions

Issue: "Token mint not found" or wrong token showing

Solution:

  1. Verify you're using the correct mint: 12TAdKXxcGf6oCv4rqDz2NkgxjyHq6HQKoxKZYGf5i4X
  2. Clear your wallet's token cache (settings → clear cache)
  3. Manually add the token using the mint address

Issue: Bridge transaction stuck on "Pending"

Solution:

  1. Wait up to 1 hour (network congestion)
  2. Check Solscan for your Solana transaction status
  3. Check RustChain explorer for the corresponding transaction
  4. Contact support with transaction hash if >1 hour

Issue: "Slippage tolerance exceeded" on Raydium

Solution:

  1. Increase slippage tolerance (gear icon) to 1-2%
  2. Try swapping a smaller amount
  3. Wait a few minutes and retry (price may be volatile)
  4. Check DexScreener for current pool liquidity

Issue: Bridge shows "Failed" or "Rejected"

Solution:

  1. Verify you have enough balance for the amount + fees
  2. Check that both wallet addresses are correct
  3. Ensure you're on the correct network (Mainnet Beta for Solana)
  4. Clear browser cache and try again
  5. Try a smaller amount first

Issue: wRTC not appearing in wallet after purchase

Solution:

  • Phantom: Settings → Preferences → Manage token list → Search "wRTC"
  • Solflare: Portfolio → Click "+" → Paste mint address → Add
  • Backpack: Tokens → Search or paste mint

Issue: "Invalid address format" when bridging

Solution:

  • RustChain addresses: Alphanumeric, case-sensitive
  • Solana addresses: 32-44 characters, base58 encoded
  • Never use Ethereum (0x...) addresses for Solana transactions
