Why we tell you this

Scammers often impersonate crypto teams to trick people. Knowing the real company and the real founders, and their verified accounts, helps you tell the genuine Celia from an impostor. If someone claims to be a different "founder" or "CEO" of Celia and asks you for money or your recovery phrase, it is a scam. See "Official Celia links, and how to spot scams."
