Security issues in the crypto ecosystem are increasingly gaining attention, with address poisoning attacks becoming a common threat to user assets. Recently, industry insiders pointed out that such risks can be entirely eliminated through technical means.



The first line of defense should start from the wallet side. All wallet products can add an address verification feature to check for malicious addresses before users confirm transactions, effectively preventing misoperations with a simple and efficient method. This can be achieved with just one blockchain query.

A more systematic approach is to establish an industry-level security protocol. Security organizations within the industry can collaboratively maintain a real-time blacklist of malicious addresses, which major wallets can access during transaction processing for verification. This way, users will receive alerts before sending assets, and some leading wallets are already doing this—when a target address is detected as risky, a warning prompt will pop up directly.

Additionally, there is an easily overlooked detail: wallet interfaces should not display obviously spam transaction records. If the transfer amount is too small, it can be filtered and hidden, which not only improves user experience but also reduces the chance of accidental clicks.

From a technical perspective, this set of solutions is not complicated—address verification + blacklist mechanism + interface filtering, combined, can significantly reduce the threat of address poisoning. The question is not whether it can be done, but whether people are willing to do it.

Basically, it's just that wallets don't want to spend this money, and the technology has been available for a long time.

To be honest, the last sentence is the key point, as being able to do something and willing to do it are two completely different things.

That's right, it's just a matter of whether the wallets are willing to put in the effort.

Well said, the problem is that big wallets are all pretending to sleep, making money is way more important than security.
