What is the Trust Wallet Security Scanner and what does it do?
The Trust Wallet Security Scanner is a built-in security feature that proactively informs you of risky transactions while keeping you in full control of your assets. We strive to make your Web3 experience as safe as possible – so each transaction is assigned a risk level, and the app proactively alerts you via a warning message, allowing you to make more informed decisions.
Through our research, we found a large number of users are deterred by the associated risks of getting into crypto, so our goal is to reduce your risk of exposure to transactions that may result in a loss of funds. Your security is our top priority, so we encourage you to get the latest version of the Trust Wallet mobile app to take advantage of this feature.
Why it’s important
As with any industry, the crypto space too can attract bad actors. But that shouldn’t stop people from having a secure and enjoyable Web3 experience. We also understand that for a lot of people, especially those still learning about crypto, it can be difficult to tell the difference between a safe transaction and an unsafe transaction – as they can often look the same. So we designed the Trust Wallet Security Scanner to help you clearly identify transactions that can result in a loss of funds, while also keeping you in complete control of your assets.
