MetaMask Rolls Out New Security Alerts to Detect Malicious Transactions
-
MetaMask partners with Blockaid to launch new security alerts feature that detects malicious transactions.
-
The feature uses Blockaid's offline security engine PPOM to validate transactions locally before signing.
-
Alerts will rollout first on desktop, then to mobile app in November, and default for all users by 2024.
-
Goal is to avoid false positives and build user trust before making alerts default.
-
Estimated to prevent billions in losses from unintended transactions and asset theft based on prior OpenSea experiment.
