@chrismessina Thank you for the shoutout and support! We're thrilled to be back with an update and remain dedicated to enhancing Web3 security. Cheers to making the Web3 space safer together!
Hi Product Hunt! Alex from Web3 Antivirus here. đź‘‹
Big shoutout to @chrismessina for featuring our latest update!
Launched 14 months ago, our mission with Web3 Antivirus has been to make Web3 safer and more transparent for newcomers and OGs alike. Our tool aims to give transaction and website insights in plain language, alerting users to potential risks and ensuring their crypto remains secure.
We've poured our efforts into developing a real-time transaction simulation and validation engine. Some thought it was overkill, that a simple scam domain database would suffice. But our approach has proven its worth, especially during the Ledger Connect Kit hack on December 14th. We were able to alert our users right away, preventing losses. Over $600K was lost that day, but not by our users - a fact we're incredibly proud of.
So, what's new in this release?
- Scam detection is now 4X stronger, covering over 60 risks, such as wallet drainers, honeypots, poisoning attacks, scam tokens, and many more.
- We’ve introduced suspicious activity insights to help you recognize if an address is involved in scams, rug pulls, or theft.
- We’ve upgraded our anti-phishing tech. It’s LLM-based and proactively blocks websites that may be stealing your creds or your money.
- Transaction simulation was fast but is faster now—from 3 seconds to <1 second.
Over 20,000 people now rely on us for safe Web3 transactions and browsing. That's huge, and we don't take it lightly. We're committed to staying one step ahead of scammers ensuring our users can focus on creating, not just avoiding traps.
A huge shoutout to our dedicated Web3 Antivirus team and the incredible support from this community—it's crucial to us!
Please feel free to ask any questions. We're here to chat throughout the day!
Cheers,
Alex

@chrismessina@alex_dulub The new release features are fantastic, particularly the 4X stronger scam detection and upgraded anti-phishing tech. Your commitment to staying ahead of scammers and ensuring a safe user environment is evident.

No doubt wallet drainers are a problem in Web3. If this is all-inclusive (includes attacks outside of Web3), I think that’s a strong differentiator and sets it apart in the market, to my knowledge.
@metadavid Thank you for your support and insight! You're absolutely right about the menace of wallet drainers in the Web3 space. Our extension specifically targets these and other Web3 scams, offering comprehensive protection. And while our main focus is on securing Web3 transactions, our phishing detection feature benefits both Web2 and Web3 users alike. Your point about our broader application is well-appreciated—thanks again for bringing it up!

I've been following this project since it just started and I'm really impressed with how much it has grown and improved. The team's hard work really shows. Also, huge thanks for adding a dark mode to the extension. As someone who uses all their apps in dark mode, I truly appreciate it:D
@anna_erst Thank you so much for sticking with us from the beginning! It's been a journey, and your support means everything. As for the dark mode, we're glad to light up (or should I say dim down?) your experience 🌙
I have been using your extensions since the very launch. And I’m super pleased with its functionality, and the way it evolves. Even though I consider myself tech savvy and crypto OG, still, sometimes it’s hard to understand what’s beneath the transaction. Luckily, you have got my back! Thanks @alex_dulub and Web3 Antivirus team!
@ivan_tsikota Thanks so much for your ongoing support and trust in our extension! I'm thrilled to hear it's been valuable to you, even as an OG. Our goal is to make the complexities of Web3 transactions transparent and safe for everyone.

What’s new within the project? Been out of crypto for a few months, not using the extension.
@nata_rusia Welcome back to crypto!
By our latest release, we've quadrupled our scam detection list to identify not just the popular threats but also the lesser-known, equally nasty ones. Let's face it, losing money to a scam, known or obscure, is just as painful.
We've also added insights about address suspicious activity so that you can check what you are interacting with and enhanced our anti-phishing engine.
It's safer and faster than ever to protect your crypto so I'd reckon it's a good time to be back!
