🔥Hot off the press! Consensys, the Ethereum-focused software developer, has acquired Wallet Guard, a cryptocurrency security firm. The Wallet Guard team will now join forces with the MetaMask Product Safety Team at Consensys. 💼

This move follows the integration of Blockaid security alerts into MetaMask, enhancing scam and drainer detection through transaction validation and client-side heuristics. 🛡️

MetaMask's unique approach offers not only robust default security features but also security-boosting plugins through their Snaps extensibility platform. 🚀

Consensys is on a roll, with previous acquisitions including blockchain microstructure designer SMG, blockchain notifications service HAL, and wallet firm MyCrypto. 💪
