 <p>Crypto wallet application MetaMask is enhancing user safety with Blockaid-backed <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="security" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/security.html">security</a> notifications. The popular cryptocurrency wallet has implemented an innovative <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="alert" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/alert.html">alert</a> system designed to combat scams and cyber threats.</p>
 <p>Originating from the prestigious cyber intelligence Unit 8200, Blockaid is a security startup that recently secured $33 million in funding. In fact, Blockaid’s funding was secured on the back of naming MetaMask as one of its first clients.</p>

 <p>Effective immediately, users of the MetaMask desktop application can activate the enhanced security mechanism. To implement this upgrade, users need to navigate to MetaMask’s experimental settings and enable the Privacy Preserving Offline Module (PPOM). This feature will simulate and validate transactions before confirming them using an offline security engine.</p>
 <p>Blockaid’s technology can scan any dApp and simulate all possible user interactions to detect any anomalies. This can be a significant measure in ensuring that users don’t fall into scams or malicious transactions.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>Recently, MetaMask has renewed with a focus on user experience, with a keen emphasis on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="security" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/security.html">security</a>. Earlier in October, the platform collaborated with Stripe to offer U.S. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a> a seamless way to transition between fiat and digital currencies.</p>
