First of all i want to know if my implant is a real one or a fake on, but, regardless of what, i am a little afraid of using the dangerous NFC app, and ending up turning my implant into a fancy piercing

That’s interesting, where did you purchase it from?
What are you trying to do with the implant?

I am from Brazil, and DangerousThings stopped sending to here, but there is a guy that goes to us and brings some to here, the chip works normally, I use it as a key to my door and to pop up my linktree, and I pretend to just do those things

Hmm, well, I don’t think there’s any DT specific signature on the chip or any kind of verification I can think of, but so long as it works well for you and scans as the correct type of chip, I wouldn’t worry too much about it personally
I meant what are you trying to use DT’s NFC app for, do you want to change the link on the implant or something?

Well, I just checked with the guy, and it is actually real. Now, about the app, I wanted to make sure that the chip is secure so no one could lock me out of it.

If I remember correctly the implants may come from DT pre-protected, I believe at least the NExT comes that way
If you can still install/use DT’s NFC app on your phone, then I don’t think there should be any harm in using it
If DT’s app doesn’t work on your phone, you could also manually lock the tag, if you’re comfortable playing with raw NFC commands.
However, I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard of someone having their implant maliciously locked, though I have heard of people locking themselves out.
Generally writing to an implant, particularly an xSeries, requires someone to get close enough to you that you’d definitely notice before they really had a chance to do much
