Yesterday, I shared my experience with Solpick.io , a site that presents itself as a Solana faucet. I had deposited 1.6 SOL to the wallet address provided on their platform, yet my Solpick account reflected only 0.00001 SOL — the default faucet claim amount.

My Complaint
I submitted a complaint via their contact form. Initially, there was no response, and I began to suspect this might be a soft scam.
To warn others, I shared my experience publicly — on Wubits, Publish0X, and X (formerly Twitter). I was preparing for more forum posts.
The outcome?
Within 13 hours of publishing my post, my Solpick account was credited with the full 1.6 SOL.
The admin reached out via a support ticket, apologised for the delayed action, and requested that I update the status. I did so and thanked them in return.
Whether it was a direct result of the public post or mere coincidence, I can’t say for certain — but it does highlight the power of speaking up.
My Perspective
Lessons learnt:
- Always verify platforms before making any deposits.
- Don’t remain silent — if something feels wrong, document it and raise your voice.
- Public pressure can compel even questionable platforms to act responsibly.
I'm grateful to have recovered my SOL. Many thanks to those who supported me, and to the broader community that stands up for one another.
Stay alert, stay informed. Web3 has great potential — but only if we hold it accountable together.
