I'm super worried about xen.network or the xenon frontend being hacked or unavailable when it's time for me to claim. And honestly frontends should never be trusted because they can always be compromised:

This is a lesson that DeFi has failed to learn from time and time again. Yes etherscan.io is technically a frontend but I imagine it could be safer and is definitely an alternative when xen website is down for any reason. I suppose you could also use something like Alchemy Web3 to bypass frontends entirely but I'm ok with a video tutorial on etherscan.
Can someone technical like Jack or Raz make a video tutorial on how to claim through xen.network, xenon, and dbxen on etherscan? It would be good for the community to know how to do this.
So basically, I am requesting video tutorials for
- Claiming a XENFT using xen.network's contract via etherscan.io
- Claiming a XENFT using Xenon's contract via etherscan.io
- Staking DXN/unstaking DXN/claiming fees using DBXen's contract via etherscan.io
I've emailed a couple of influencers and seen it asked in the discord but haven't gotten a response. I also noticed Xenon is on Mumbai testnet but XENFTs can't be minted on Mumbai, so how could anyone have tested the contract for themselves on testnet?

Nobody seems to know how to do this or cares enough yet, but believe me when frontends get hacked (and when XEN becomes popular enough, they WILL be), people are going to wish they knew how.
This has been on my mind for a long time now, thanks Jozef for creating this forum.
