"MetaMask is glad to have entered a strategic partnership with Wallet Guard. We look forward to joining our forces to deepen the security education and tools to better the web3 ecosystem and help users stay safe."
"Wallet Guard gives you AR goggles on your web3 transactions. It is super simple, yet gives you critical warning signs of danger and key pieces of information as you journey in this new digital frontier."
No. Wallet Guard simply simulates the transaction without any direct interaction with your wallet. We can never move your assets or make decisions for you.
Your preferred wallet extension cannot communicate with our extension, or any other extension for that matter. It would be a significant security vulnerability if they allowed private keys or seed phrases to be exposed.
Transactions are simulated through the following flow: ▸ transaction data gets passed between dApps and your wallet via the window.ethereum object in your browser, then ▸ we proxy window.ethereum to run a simulation on the transaction data without modifying anything in the request
This never requires any access to your wallet extension or the underlying wallet; you can verify this claim by visiting our extension's open-source GitHub. The code you see here is exactly what gets published to the Chrome Web Store as our devops pipeline pushes it directly.
In the future we will enable premium features, but for now we are 100% free. Wallet Guard does not sell your data.
What chains does Wallet Guard support?
Currently, Wallet Guard supports Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum transactions.
Is Wallet Guard a wallet like MetaMask?
Wallet Guard is not a wallet. We’re a security companion for your self-custody wallet of choice.
Is Wallet Guard an antivirus?
Wallet Guard is not an antivirus; we share similarities in protecting end-users, however, we do not prevent viruses/malware but can help you stay safe from browsing sites containing malware.
