Status Updates:

For live endpoints, caps, and incident updates, always check the Inception Status page: https://inceptionera.com/status

Security Warnings (all validator pages):

Never expose the Engine API (port 8551), HTTP RPC (8545), or WS RPC (8546) to the public internet. Bind them to 127.0.0.1 and use a shared jwt.hex file for EL↔CL authentication.

Disclaimer (tokenomics, get-incp):

Information only. Not financial advice. Cryptocurrency prices are volatile. Only risk what you can afford to lose. Governance parameters and allocations may evolve via community votes; always verify on the Transparency & Addresses page and Status.
