Heads up — using your own wallet

The recommended option is a Scout Wallet (one tap, dedicated to REKT Scout, separate from anything else you do). If you want to use a wallet you already have, read this first.

1. 1. Every submission is public, forever.REKT Scout writes a signed record to a public ledger (Hedera Consensus Service). Your wallet — in a hashed, rotating form — is on that record. Anyone running a Hedera mirror node can read it. You can't delete it.
2. 2. Your wallet's history becomes part of the picture.If you trade, hold NFTs, or use DeFi with this wallet, that public history can be linked to your in-store activity by anyone willing to look. Tools like Nansen, Arkham, and Etherscan already index your wallet — REKT Scout adds physical-world data points to that profile.
3. 3. Wallet × store × time is a doxx vector.Submitting from your local Tesco every Saturday gives away your neighbourhood. Combining several submissions narrows the home/work pattern. Adversaries with patience can do this.
4. 4. Holdings are visible.If your wallet holds large $REKT, ETH, or NFT positions, anyone who sees a submission knows which wallet did it. This is a real risk for high-net-worth scouts.
5. 5. We can sever the link, but the record stays.If you change your mind later, we can rotate our daily pepper to break the public-readable connection between your wallet and our records. The underlying ledger entries themselves are permanent.

Recommendation: Use a fresh wallet for scouting — not your trading or vault wallet. Or just use a Scout Wallet, which keeps your scouting completely separate from anything else.
