Have you or your friends ever encountered phishing attacks, accidentally authorized high-risk contracts, or interacted with blacklisted addresses under unknown circumstances?
For most ordinary users, every address on-chain is essentially 'naked' without security protection. Risks such as phishing and contract traps are everywhere, and one careless move could turn us into a free 'ATM' for hackers.
The GoPlus on-chain security protection network has launched a brand new browser security plugin that starts with protecting every transaction, helping users eliminate various risks on-chain and create a personal 'on-chain security center'.
How does the GoPlus plugin protect each transaction?
As a Web3 user, we may have become accustomed to the anxious moments of clicking unfamiliar links and authorizing unknown signatures. In fact, whether for old users or new players, how to identify and avoid on-chain risks is always a repetitive yet troublesome issue.
This is also why the GoPlus plugin is worth a try - compared to other security plugin products on the market, it is not just a tool but more like a dedicated on-chain security assistant that adds a layer of comprehensive risk protection to every transaction and operation.
It integrates five core functions: wallet security inspection, active pop-up warnings, custom detection of transaction environments, AI Bot, and security to-do, which can monitor on-chain risks in real time and accurately identify them, helping users avoid phishing attacks, blacklisted addresses, high-risk transactions, and other Web3 security threats.
Currently, the GoPlus plugin supports major browsers like Chrome and EDGE (click here to download) and covers seven public chain networks including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Solana.
1. Wallet security inspection
When operating on-chain, have you ever worried about potential toxic tokens/NFT assets in your wallet or lingering risky authorizations?
If you are unsure about the security risks of your wallet, you can regularly conduct self-checks through GoPlus's 'Wallet Security Inspection' service - it allows us to connect our wallets and automatically check the assets and recent transaction activities in the wallet to detect potential asset risks, interaction risks, and other potential risks, keeping us informed about the wallet's security status in real-time:
Asset risk: Automatically detects whether you hold risky tokens/NFTs, whether you have received malicious transfers from unknown addresses, and whether there are tokens you hold that have plummeted in price in a short period.
Interaction risks: Checks for transactions during abnormal time periods not initiated by the user, checks for transactions with black addresses, recent large fund transfers, whether the gas fees consumed during recent transactions are within normal ranges, whether there are high-risk authorizations in the wallet, whether any NFTs have been stolen, and whether there have been interactions with fraudulent phishing contracts recently, etc.;
Potential risks: Checks whether the wallet address has been exposed on social media like Twitter, whether the stablecoins held have decoupled significantly from fiat currencies, etc.;
2. Active pop-up warnings
Whenever we initiate a transaction on-chain, the GoPlus security plugin also conducts real-time monitoring, scanning transaction or website access behaviors in the Web3 environment and proactively identifying high-risk transactions and websites.
Once a potential risk is detected, the GoPlus security plugin will automatically pop up a warning and a brief explanation of the risk type, reminding users to take timely precautions.
Currently, this service actively detects the security status of each transaction or operation and categorizes it into three risk levels:
Low risk (green): No significant threats, users can safely continue operating;
Medium risk (yellow): There may be abnormal behaviors or no historical interaction records, reminding users to operate with caution;
High risk (red): Detected obvious malicious actions, such as interacting with phishing addresses or high-risk smart contracts, strongly advising users to cease operations;
Moreover, the pop-up not only displays the risk level but also includes risk details such as address transaction history, whether it is associated with blacklisted addresses, and records of abnormal behaviors, helping us quickly understand the source of potential threats.
3. Custom detection of transaction environments
At the same time, each of us can flexibly customize security protection strategies based on personal needs, including signature checks, transaction checks, phishing website detection, and Twitter phishing alerts, providing a tailored security protection experience.
Taking 'phishing website detection' as an example, when the plugin detects that we are about to enter a phishing website, it will automatically pop up a risk warning stating 'This Url is phishing risk' (the example shows a previous phishing link from DefiLlama 'defilllama', which would lure us to connect our wallets and trick us into signing, thereby stealing assets).
4. AI Bot
Additionally, while surfing on-chain, are you unclear about which authorization actions may involve risks? If you encounter a problem, do you not know how to quickly revoke high-risk authorizations?
When we encounter these security concerns on-chain, GoPlus's AI Bot is our 7×24 hour on-chain security assistant. Whether we face security issues during transactions, accessing DApps, signing operations, or other on-chain activities, the AI Bot is able to respond instantly, providing professional advice and real-time support around the clock.
5. Security To-Do
Do you often overlook the need to regularly check the security of on-chain interactions or miss key security alerts due to information overload?
To address this, the GoPlus plugin will periodically push personalized security suggestions based on on-chain behaviors and environments, helping users keep track of the current security status of on-chain interactions in real-time while providing specific optimization guidance to ensure that every user remains protected.
In addition, we can also participate in various security activities and tasks to earn rewards, further enhancing our security awareness and protection capabilities.
Why is it necessary to have an on-chain security plugin?
In the face of an increasingly complex on-chain environment, relying on users to judge risks has become increasingly difficult, so the significance of security plugins lies in providing users with a layer of real-time protective barrier, especially in scenarios of frequent transactions and complex interactions. However, since the plugins themselves require certain authorization permissions, it is crucial to choose a trustworthy tool.
Among the important standards for ensuring the reliability and long-term stability of the plugin are brand reputation, institutional endorsement, and comprehensive protection capabilities. GoPlus's advantage lies in its ability to provide a seamless, one-stop security solution for the entire process, along with investment from top institutions like Binance Labs and OKX Ventures.
Moreover, many users may have been using GoPlus's security services deeply without realizing it, as GoPlus has been widely integrated into various mainstream on-chain tools and ecosystems.
Wide coverage: Already supports over 30 public chains including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and Sui, with a broad and stable service range;
Mainstream platform/protocol adoption: Widely adopted and integrated by Trust Wallet, CoinMarketCap, OKX Wallet, Bybit, DexScreener, Dextool, SushiSwap, etc.;
Serving a mainstream user group: An average daily call exceeding 34 million times, with over 4 billion total calls, covering over 90% of users' on-chain transactions. Its open security application platform has also served over 12 million on-chain users;
In a sense, on-chain security plugins like GoPlus, which have endorsement from well-known institutions and cover the entire transaction process protection, are not just tools but also an important and necessary safety barrier. Just download and install the plugin; no complicated settings are required, and it can start working immediately, allowing everyone to focus on their Web3 activities without constantly worrying about security issues.
Whether it's transactions, browsing DApps, or participating in DeFi projects, GoPlus can quietly provide protection to users in the background, allowing us to focus more on our investments and interactions on-chain.
Moreover, the demand for security continues to evolve with changes in the Web3 environment. The GoPlus security plugin not only provides comprehensive security protection upon initial installation but will also automatically continue to update and iterate its features, constantly optimizing its protective capabilities by updating risk identification rules based on the latest attack patterns and vulnerability data, ensuring users remain under the latest security protection in the ever-changing Web3 environment.
