Tools For Preventing Scams

In our other post, we covered 5 common crypto scams & exploits to watch out for:

  1. Phishing Attacks & Fake Websites
  2. Airdrop Scams & Fake Tokens

  3. Fake Employment or Meeting

  4. Fake Tech Support & Recovery Scams

  5. Telegram Scams

We recommend visiting that page to familiarize yourselves with them.

That being said, some tools can be implemented to prevent these attacks in the first place, providing benefits such as the ability to analyze websites, transactions, and contracts in real time.

A few that we like include:

  • WalletGuard: Detects phishing links, warns about malicious transactions, and protects wallet approvals.
  • Fire: Alerts users of malicious smart contracts before they confirm a transaction.
  • Blockfence: Warns users about scam tokens, honeypots, and fake airdrops.
  • Web3 Antivirus: Flags high-risk transactions, phishing sites, and scam contracts.
