Let’s Eradicate These Poison Scams
I’ve been fighting a cold — hit 38.9°C a couple of hours ago. First time getting sick after prison. This issue has been stuck in my head for days, even through the fever.
Our industry should be able to completely eliminate these poison attacks and properly protect users.
Wallets can simply check whether a receiving address is a “poison address” and block or warn the user — this is just a blockchain query.
On top of that, security alliances across the industry should maintain a real-time blacklist of such addresses, allowing wallets to verify destinations before sending any transaction.
Binance Wallet already does this.
Users receive a clear warning if they attempt to send funds to a poison address.
Lastly, wallets shouldn’t even display these spam transactions. If the transaction value is negligible, just filter it out.
Protect users. That should be the priority. 🛡️
