Frequently Asked Questions
We stop scams affecting your organization through a combination of two mechanisms:
-
Blocking scams at the wallet - Our data is integrated into Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Pontem Wallet, and many more. That means that when a user of one of these wallets tries to perform a transaction on a domain that is known to be a scam, they will be warned and prevented from sending their funds to the scammer.
-
Takedowns of scam websites & social profiles - We work with domain registrars and hosting providers to take down scam websites. This prevents users from being able to access the scam website even if they are not using a wallet with our data integrated.
Together, these two mechanisms ensure that your users are protected from scams no matter the surface area your community interacts with.
We use a combination of automated and manual processes to verify that a domain or contract address is a scam. We look at details like the domain name, the content of the website, the social profiles associated with the domain, the presence of wallet drainer code, and many more features.
We also have a team of analysts who manually verify a small portion of submitted reports before they are added to our database. By combining these two approaches, we are able to reduce the risk of false positives and ensure that our data is as accurate as possible.
