We’ve been really busy with researching, designing, and coding in the past month to bring you a host of exciting new features and improve the existing functionality. So, let’s dive right into the new improvements.<h2 id="header-0">More scams on W3A radar</h2><img src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1105/1*cb4Eas7EBY5Sxo5puWlcqQ.jpeg" />Fresh arrivals to the list of scams that W3A spots and promptly warns you about!Direct transfersThe extension instantly detects direct transfers of ETH and ERC-20 tokens. These are highly risky transactions since they are neither recorded on blockchain nor regulated by smart contracts. There are zero guarantees that you will get anything in return but almost a 99% chance of gifting all your tokens to scammers.eth_sign signaturesPhishing websites think they are smart, but we made sure W3A is way smarter. They can initiate as many malicious sign requests as possible, yet the extension will сatch eth_sign signatures and ruin all their thievish ambitions.Permit attacksNowadays, fraudsters started exploiting the vulnerabilities in the Permit and Permit2 signatures to make you grant approvals to all your ERC-20 tokens to them. But don’t worry — W3A gets you covered. Anytime you come across Permit attacks, we will show you a warning and indicate the risk level.Phishing contractsScammers often rely on our carelessness and shove us harmful transactions whose only function is to drain our wallets to the last token. Luckily, Web3 Antivirus never gets distracted, so such maneuvers are useless — you will get notified immediately.Phishing swapsWeb3 Antivirus keeps an eye on your swapping transactions and signals if scammers try to squeeze into your swapping transaction and receive tokens meant for you.HoneypotsWe’ve significantly elevated the precision of honeypot scam detection. Now, W3A will specify the exact type of honeypot you encounter: no transfer, high sale fee, or high purchase fee.Be attentive to our scam alerts and never let fraudsters play tricks with you.<h2 id="header-1">Contract suspicious activity unmasked</h2><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/79886bbf3df04ce4b457965c8f4e8401.png" />No way for hiding suspicious activity — W3A sees all the sketchy moves not only of a contract you interact with but of all the contracts linked to it. The extension detects a contract’s involvement in terrorist financing, rug pulls, Ponzi schemes, theft, spam, and other illegal or harmful activities.So, that address better be reputable to transact with you. Otherwise, there is no deal.<h2 id="header-2">Easy Dashboard navigation with Help section</h2><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/1a62128eb7644eacad3177f84eeb434d.png" />Explore Dashboard functionality to the fullest with our Help section.
