Before We Start
This page teaches fundamentals. If you want the 7TRB operating system (wallets, treasury, tribes, merchants, circulation), go to How 7TRB Works.
Best Practice
- Test small first: send a tiny transaction before doing anything big.
- Protect the keys: store seed phrase offline. Never screenshot. Never DM it.
- Verify contracts: use the official explorer link from this website — don’t trust random DMs.
If you can’t verify it, don’t trust it. That’s the whole survival rule.
Crypto 101 — The Core Ideas
1) What is crypto?
Crypto is money on a public ledger. Instead of a bank keeping the records, a network keeps the records.
2) What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a public database of transactions. Once recorded, it’s extremely hard to change. That’s the “trust layer.”
3) What makes a coin go up or down?
- Supply + demand is the main driver.
- Thin liquidity = price can move wildly.
- Utility (real use), trust (transparency), and distribution (not whale-owned) matter long term.
4) What’s “gas”?
Gas is the small network fee to process transactions. Every chain has a gas token (ETH on Ethereum, $AKE on Alkebuleum).
How to Use 7TRB (Basics)
This is the “quick start.” The full setup (treasury rules, merchants, redemption) is in the Field Manual page.
- Install a wallet: use AmVault (Alkebuleum ecosystem) or another supported wallet.
- Add the right network: make sure you’re on the chain where 7TRB lives.
- Get gas: keep a little gas token for transactions (example: $AKE on Alkebuleum).
- Add 7TRB token: use the official contract address from the Transparency section / explorer link.
- Use it: earn, spend with merchants, or contribute to projects.

Safety & Wallet Security
Seed Phrase Rules
- Write it on paper. Store offline. Never screenshot.
- Never share it. No admin, no support, nobody needs it.
- Consider 2 copies in separate safe places.
Scam Radar
- Random DMs offering “help.”
- Fake airdrops / fake support forms.
- Clone websites — always check the URL.
Common Myths
“Crypto is all scams.”
Scams are real. The defense is verification + transparency. If you can’t verify it, don’t touch it.
“If I lose my phone, I lose my crypto.”
You recover the wallet with your seed phrase. Phone lost ≠ coins lost.
“It’s anonymous crime money.”
Most chains are public ledgers. Transactions are traceable. Don’t confuse “addresses” with “invisible.”
“Crypto is illegal.”
Rules vary by country/state. This isn’t legal/tax advice — you’re responsible for local compliance.
Glossary (Plain Language)
Wallet — An app that holds your keys (your access). Protect the seed phrase.
Gas — Network fee to run transactions.
DEX / CEX — Places to trade (decentralized vs centralized exchange).
Liquidity — How easily something buys/sells without wild price changes.
Treasury — Community funds controlled by rules + voting.
DAO — Governance system: proposals + votes = action.
Risk Disclosure
- No promises: value can go up or down.
- Not financial advice: do your own research.
- You are your own bank: security is your responsibility.
