Hi, I ran through the first half of the tutorial (the localhost example greeter) yesterday and stopped. Today, the imported metamask wallet shows some coins (DANK and MATIC) in the wallet. This might be a very silly question since the localhost server that it was connected to is not even running anymore, so now metamask has the network set to ethereum mainnet. So apologies if my question makes no sense. But I clicked on the coins, and then read after some googling that this is commonly how metamask scams work !!! (random stuff appearing in a wallet). Can anyone explain why this happens with the test wallet?
Thanks! And thank you Nader for the great tutorial!
