For any issues or concerns you've encountered, please feel free to provide us with detailed information through our [Bug Bounty Program](https://hackenproof.com/near). Your cooperation and additional details will assist us in addressing and resolving any potential vulnerabilities effectively. We appreciate your proactive approach in helping us maintain the security and integrity of the NEAR ecosystem. As we embrace a more decentralized future, wallet.near.org will be discontinued. This change invites you to discover a variety of new and secure wallet options within our ecosystem. Your funds are safe! Accounts exist on the blockchain, not in a wallet. Wallets are just an interface into using the blockchain with your account. [Learn more](https://wallet.near.org/) For issues relating to a third-party exchange, such as Binance or Coinbase, we're unable to investigate issues on external platforms. To address your concern effectively, we recommend contacting the customer support team of the specific exchange where you're experiencing issues. They are most equipped to assist you in resolving the matter.
