- It checks blocklists to see if the domain and/or contract an end-user is interacting with is dangerous or flagged by Blowfish’s risk engine.
- It uses transaction analysis and machine learning to provide crucial information to the user before signing a transaction without ever having access to your on-chain assets or private keys.
- It will help users stay safe whilst transacting with DApps
- Using Blowfish’s risk scoring and domain intelligence, we can provide extra warnings to users before they sign a potentially risky transaction
- Much better UI for the majority of transactions as the ‘Safe Sign’ UI is only used with Brave Swaps and Matcha.xyz
Blowfish receives and analyses what website is prompting an end-user to sign a transaction, together with the wallet address and destination address that are part of the Ethereum transaction. This data is necessary to accurately simulate a pending transaction and help safeguard end-users against fraud.
The service is provided by Blowfish and is subject to their Terms of Service and Privacy Policy which you should read.
