The Web3 ecosystem is growing rapidly, with new projects and applications being launched all the time. This growth has also attracted the attention of scammers, who are using a variety of techniques to steal users’ funds.
One of the most common types of scams in the Web3 space is phishing. Phishing attacks involve sending emails or text messages that appear to be from a legitimate source, such as a cryptocurrency exchange or a project team. The emails or text messages often contain a link that, when clicked, takes the user to a fake website that looks like the real website. Once the user enters their personal information or login credentials on the fake website, the scammers can steal it.
Another common type of scam in the Web3 space is rug pulls. Rug pulls involve developers launching a new cryptocurrency project and then abandoning it after they have collected a large amount of money from investors. The developers may do this by shutting down the project’s website and social media accounts, or by making changes to the project’s code that make it impossible to withdraw funds.
AI can be used to help protect Web3 users from scams. AI-powered fraud detection tools can analyze data such as email content, website traffic, and social media activity to identify patterns that are indicative of fraudulent activity. These tools can then be used to flag suspicious transactions or accounts for further investigation.
Some of the leading AI-powered fraud detection tools for Web3 include:
Blockfence
