DeFi, a crypto asset management product, has released an antivirus tool on the zkSync Era blockchain, according to a company representative. The tool is designed to protect users from malicious crypto exploits, such as phishing, smart contract vulnerabilities, and blind signing. Recent hacks and exploits have cost crypto traders over $300 million in the past month, making security a major concern in the industry.
Users can access the security tools by connecting their wallets or scanning smart contract addresses onto the DeFi platform. The service scans and monitors over 30,000 smart contracts deployed on the zkSync Era blockchain for new threats and vulnerabilities in real time.
Permissionless protocols enable freedom by allowing anyone to participate in the Ethereum ecosystem, said Marco Cora, Senior Vice President of Business and Operations at zkSync builder Matter Labs. They also come with a critical responsibility for its users and builders to practice due diligence which is paramount for avoiding scams on permissionless networks like Ethereum and zkSync Era.
