Drainer
Also written or said as: wallet drainer, drained, drainer link, drainer site
A malicious site or transaction that empties your wallet once you sign.
Drainers hide behind fake mints, fake airdrop claims, fake 'verify your wallet' bots and lookalike sites. You connect, a pop-up asks you to approve something, and one signature hands over your tokens and SOL. Read every wallet pop-up, use a separate wallet for unfamiliar sites, and never sign anything on a page you reached from a DM.
