<a href="https://coingape.com/nfprompts-partnership-with-google-cloud-spurs-9-jump-in-nfp-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFPrompt</a> has issued a series of precautionary measures to safeguard users’ assets. These include urging users to only engage in NFP transactions through reputable CEXs, cautioning against interaction with unofficial NFP contracts or private over-the-counter channels, and advising vigilance against phishing attempts and scams.
Meanwhile, as the investigation unfolds, NFPrompt remains steadfast in its commitment to fortify the security infrastructure of its smart contracts, wallets, and user assets. However, this breach serves as a poignant reminder for the entire crypto community to prioritize cybersecurity measures to ensure the integrity and safety of the evolving AI and <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/web-3-0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3</a> ecosystem.
Notably, the NFPrompt price declined 14.80% to $0.7866, with its trading volume soaring 62.63% to $131.21 million. However, the decline is partially attributed to the significant sell-off witnessed in the broader crypto market today.
