  Using a QR code as an authentication method for cryptocurrency transactions does come with certain risks. One of the main concerns is the possibility of QR code tampering. Malicious actors can create fake QR codes that lead to phishing websites or malware downloads. It's important to always verify the source of the QR code before scanning it.

  There is a risk of QR code interception when using it for cryptocurrency authentication. Hackers can intercept the QR code and replace it with their own, redirecting the transaction to their own wallet. To mitigate this risk, it's recommended to double-check the receiving address before confirming the transaction.
