Top of the morning to all.
Some newer investors may not know this (I know...I've seen it mentioned in Discords) but we don't actually HAVE to interact with #smartcontracts using a website.
We can use the #blockexplorer. Here's a thread for newbs on how.

First...why would you do this?
Well, #crypto is full of paranoid skeptics (understandable given all the rugs) so when a site goes down and people can't access the buttons for claiming rewards it's INSTANT PANIC 🚨

The thing is, smart contracts are immutable, and unless the developer uses a kill function, it's still going to function, with or without a website.
And you can access those functions from the appropriate block explorer (based on the chain the contract is on).

You just need the contract address.
So Step One: Look up the contract address on the block explorer (#Etherscan, #Snowtrace, #BSCscan, etc)
In this example I'm using @NODACOfficial on #FTMscan

You do have to make sure you have the CORRECT contract address though. Some protocols have multiple contracts, and you'll need the one that has the functions you're looking for (claim rewards, stake, create node, compound, etc).

Step two: Go to the Contract tab, then click Write and connect your wallet.
You may have to click this twice until the light turns green.

Look for the function that want.
Sometimes they are easily named (compound, claim, hatch eggs, sell, etc)
Other times you'll have to do some digging (or ask the protocol devs).
In Nodac, I want to claim...the function is called "giveMeWelfarePlease"

When you click the "Write" button under the function, it will trigger the function in your wallet.
The last step is to do like with any other contract interaction and approve the gas.

That's it. That's how you interact with a protocol's smart contract without using their website frontend UI.
Never again will you have to let UI issues stop you from doing important #DeFi activities.
I hope you found this helpful. Please consider liking/following, etc.
