Why Wallet Warnings Happen

Major crypto wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Rabby, and many others rely on third-party providers like Blockaid and popular open-source phishing blocklists to protect users. These systems scan millions of domains and smart-contract addresses for scams.

Unfortunately, they sometimes flag legitimate projects. The most common false-positive triggers are:

  • Presale activity: brand-new wallet addresses receiving funds from many users in a short burst
  • Recycled domains: URLs that previously hosted scam content under a former owner
  • Look-alike domains: names that resemble popular apps and get blocked pre-emptively
  • Malicious reports: complaints filed by competitors or disgruntled users
  • Algorithmic false positives: automated tools misclassifying new or lesser-known domains

When a warning fires, visitors connecting their wallet or even just landing on your site see banners like "This dApp could be malicious" or "Site may be unsafe," and most refuse to proceed, draining trust and revenue within hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wallets maintain blocklists to protect users from phishing sites. Your legitimate dApp may have been flagged due to false positives from automated systems, shared hosting IP addresses, similar domain names to known malicious sites, or disgruntled competitors and/or users reporting your site.

Not necessarily. Most wallet warnings are false positives caused by overly aggressive automated detection systems. However, it's always good practice to run a security audit to ensure your site hasn't been compromised. Our Quick Scan includes a basic security check.

Typically 24-72 hours, depending on the wallet. MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet usually respond within 24-48 hours, while Phantom can take up to 72 hours.

No, wallets control their own blocklists for security reasons. The only way to remove a warning is through their official appeal process. We help by identifying the exact issue and crafting appeals that get faster responses.

Our monitoring service continuously checks your domain across multiple wallet blocklists. We alert you immediately if you're flagged and can often resolve issues before your users even notice them.

Our $99 Quick Scan includes: identification of the wallets or blocklists flagging your domain. From there you can open an unblock request with us or deal with it yourself.
