ConsenSys, the blockchain software technology company, has acquired Wallet Guard, a crypto security app. The acquisition aims to bolster the security of MetaMask, a cryptocurrency wallet developed by ConsenSys, by integrating Wallet Guard's browser extension to protect users against potential exploits and scams. Wallet Guard's security engine will also be leveraged to enhance wallet drain detection through transaction validation and client-side heuristics. The entire Wallet Guard team is set to join ConsenSys as part of its MetaMask product safety department. This move follows MetaMask's integration with Blockaid earlier this year, which aimed to improve the crypto wallet service provider's security alerts.
