Forta-fied Policies: Evicting Scammers from your dApp

We are proud to announce our a new partner policy on Shield3. Forta is known for providing intelligence crucial for identifying malicious actors. By partnering up with Forta, we've turned this rich source of information into a tool any dApp or wallet can use to provide a more secure environment for their users.

These policies leverage Forta's scam detection bot to prevent your users or dApp from interacting with known scammers. With just a few clicks, you can interface with Forta's large database of labelled addresses through Shield3.

The Scam Detector provides threat intelligence about malicious smart contracts, EOAs, and URLs engaging in scams and other end-user attacks. It relies on a bundle of underlying Forta bots, each monitoring for a specific threat type (ex: Ice Phishing).
