# How to verify Timelock contract

Many other projects only pretend to use Timelock, their contract is deployed, address provided, but it doesn't really do anything. It is very important that the Timelock contract has the control over the MasterChef contract, otherwise deposit fee can be instantly changed to 100% and you can lose all your funds!

Follow the steps below to verify that the Timelock contract is controlling the Masterchef.

1. Open contract's bsc scan:
2. Navigate to **Contract** tab
