Cautions
Tronscan is great to check any project that giving you a token on your Tronlink wallet. If you click the detail tab on the specific token that appears on your tronlink wallet interface, it will bring you to the tronscan site and show you everything about the token and the project.
When you checking the project website, do not click on any tab to swap the “free token” to get TRX or any other reputable token on Tron blockchain as it can result in you lost the TRX token that you currently have in your TRX wallet.
If you want to check their legitimacy, use your Tron account that has no valuable tokens on it, just for testing purposes. I recently lost some of my TRX by doing that, so I don’t want you to experience the same.
I hope with this information you can have some basic knowledge on how to manage your TRX token with Tronlink wallet and use the Tronscan tool to help you navigate and checking the transaction that happening on Tron Blockchain.
