Address poisoning attacks have always been a headache in the crypto market. Users can easily be tricked into transferring funds to malicious addresses with a slight lapse in attention. To thoroughly solve this problem, relying on individual efforts alone is definitely not enough.
Industry experts have proposed a systematic solution: First, all wallets must have basic address security check functions—simply perform a blockchain query to identify whether the recipient address has been flagged as problematic.
Second, the industry security alliance should maintain a real-time updated blacklist of malicious addresses, allowing wallets to verify addresses promptly before users click send. Some leading wallet products are already doing this; when users attempt to transfer to malicious addresses, a warning will pop up directly.
Another critical detail—wallet interfaces should not display those spam transactions at all. If the transaction amount is very small, filter it out directly, and don't give scammers any opportunity to display their schemes. Multiple measures together can truly protect user assets.

The blacklist system can indeed address the symptoms, but it can't solve the root cause. There are too many tricks used by scammers.

Talking about the blacklist sounds nice, but in reality, users still need to be a bit more vigilant.

Suddenly thought of at 3 AM, this plan is actually about doing liquidity filtering, removing junk addresses, which essentially reduces the depth of scammer trading pairs. Interesting...

You need to keep up with the blacklist, or else this plan will be just empty talk.

By the way, is the blacklist system really reliable? Scammers update their methods faster than the updates from the community.

It should have been done this way earlier. Compliant wallets should now come with address verification as standard. Otherwise, who is responsible if users lose everything?
