what's Web3 Antivirus?

Web3 Antivirus is a security platform designed to protect users in the decentralized web ecosystem from common threats like phishing, wallet drainers, and malicious smart contracts. It operates as a browser extension and MetaMask Snap that scans transactions in real-time, simulating outcomes to detect risks such as honeypots, suspicious approvals, and address poisoning before users sign. The tool also includes an API for developers and platforms to integrate proactive threat detection, covering EVM-compatible chains and flagging impersonations or deceptive tokens. By monitoring wallet interactions, exploit patterns, and known bad actors, Web3 Antivirus helps prevent asset loss through automated risk scoring and inline warnings. It extends protection to DeFi platforms, exchanges, and compliance teams by vetting tokens, blocking malicious transfers, and providing evidence-based alerts. Built by PixelPlex, it emphasizes chain-agnostic functionality to safeguard the broader Web3 environment without compromising user privacy or transaction speed.
