The fine print, in plain English
Terms and privacy
Last updated 25 September 2026. By using Trench Academy you agree to these terms.
Education only
Trench Academy teaches how memecoin trading works and how to spot common traps. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, and nothing here tells you to buy or sell any coin.
Scanner ratings describe what we can see on-chain at one moment. A low rating means we found no major warning signs, never that a coin is safe. Scammers can hide things no scanner can see.
Paper trading is not real trading
The terminal uses real coins and live prices, but the money is fake. Simulated results do not predict what would happen with real money: real trades can fail, fill at worse prices, or be front-run.
Real memecoin trading is extremely risky. Most coins go to zero, and you can lose everything you put in.
Who can use it
You must be 18 or older, and allowed to use crypto-related services where you live.
What we store
If you sign in with your wallet, we store your public wallet address, your paper trades and holdings, your own coin checks, your quiz results and your level. Signing in only signs a message: it never moves funds and we never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
Signed-in students appear on the public leaderboard with a shortened wallet address (like 49eH…ntyf), their Trench Score, level, counted profit and number of trades.
Every signed-in student has a public profile page that anyone can see: the username and profile picture you choose (if any), shortened wallet address, join date, rank, Trench Score, level, paper balance, coins held and paper trade history. Pictures are cropped, shrunk and stripped of hidden data (like photo location) before they're stored. Don't use a picture or name you don't want public. We can remove names or pictures that are offensive, impersonate someone or break these terms.
If you don't sign in, your paper portfolio stays in your own browser and passed quizzes are saved in a signed cookie. Clearing your browser data erases them.
Account data is stored with our database provider (Supabase) and the site runs on Vercel. We count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which is anonymous and uses no cookies. Coin addresses you look up are sent to our data providers (Helius, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, Birdeye, GoPlus, pump.fun) to get their data. We don't sell your data.
Never share your keys
Trench Academy will never DM you, never ask for your seed phrase or private key, and never ask you to send crypto. Anyone who does is a scammer.
No guarantees
The site is provided as is, in beta. Data comes from third parties and can be wrong, late or missing. We may change or remove features, and we're not responsible for losses from decisions you make.
