Why do "zero amount" transfer records appear?

The "zero amount" transfer operation is performed directly through the TransferFrom function in the USDT contract. Any on-chain address can be called and a record will be generated on the chain and synchronized in the wallet, and a blank record will be generated in the authorization record.

The purpose of this operation is to simulate the transfer/transfer record from the user's address, and combine it with the disguised address to transfer small amounts of assets to induce the user to mistakenly copy the address and make the transfer. In essence, this kind of call does not cause any risk to the assets, and the Gas consumed by the call will also be paid by the other party. When copying the address in the history record, complete address information verification is required to avoid misoperations such as using the wrong payment address and transferring money.

How to hide small amount records?

1. Open TokenPocket (Android 1.6.6 and above supports the function of hiding small amount records), click on any Token to enter the history record interface, here we take USDT as an example.

2. After opening the history interface, you can see a pop-up prompt window at the bottom. The entrance and function of the function are explained here. Click [I understand].

Click the setting pattern on the right (as shown in the picture), turn on the [Small Amount Hide] setting switch, enter the amount you need to set, and click [Save Changes] to successfully set it.

Please note: After setting, all records in the current network that are smaller than the small amount you entered will be hidden, and you will see a prompt that the small amount filtering function is turned on.

3. After successfully setting the function of hiding small-amount records, all small-amount transfer records will be hidden. You can clearly see the comparison of historical records before and after hiding through the picture below.

The wallet security function will be continuously improved according to the means of fraud. We would like to remind all users to be cautious when operating the wallet. When copying the wallet address for transfer, be sure to carefully check the complete wallet address. Improving security and anti-fraud awareness, and carefully checking the prompt information that appears in the wallet can provide more help for users' safe operations.
