Have you or your friends ever encountered phishing attacks, accidentally authorized high-risk contracts, or unknowingly interacted with blacklisted addresses? For most ordinary users, every address on the blockchain is essentially “exposed” without security protection, with risks like phishing and contract traps lurking everywhere. A small mistake could turn you into a hacker’s free “ATM.” However, GoPlus, a blockchain security network, has launched a new browser security plugin that starts by protecting every transaction, helping users eliminate various on-chain risks and create their personal “on-chain security center.”

How Does The GoPlus Plugin Protect Every Transaction?

As a Web3 user, we may be accustomed to the anxious moment of clicking on unfamiliar links and authorizing unknown signatures. Whether you are an experienced user or a newcomer, identifying and avoiding on-chain risks is always a persistent and troublesome issue.
This is why the GoPlus plugin is worth trying—compared to other security plugin products on the market, it is not just a tool, but more like a dedicated on-chain security assistant that adds an extra layer of comprehensive risk protection to every transaction and operation.
It integrates five core features: wallet security checks, proactive pop-up warnings, transaction environment custom detection, AI Bot, and security to-do list. These features allow it to monitor on-chain risks in real-time, accurately identify them, and help users avoid phishing attacks, blacklisted addresses, high-risk transactions, and other Web3 security threats.
Currently, the GoPlus plugin supports mainstream browsers like Chrome and EDGE (click here to download) and covers seven public blockchain networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Solana.

1. Wallet security check

When operating on-chain, have you ever worried about the presence of potentially toxic tokens/NFT assets in your wallet or lingering risky authorizations?
If you’re unsure whether your wallet has security risks, you can regularly conduct self-checks using GoPlus’s “Wallet Security Checkup” service. By connecting your wallet, it automatically scans your assets and recent transaction activities to identify potential asset risks, interaction risks, and other latent risks, helping you stay informed about your wallet’s security status in real time:

• Asset Risks: Automatically detects whether you hold risky tokens/NFTs, have received malicious transfers from unknown addresses, or if any held tokens have experienced sharp price drops in a short period.
• Interaction Risks: Checks for transactions during unusual time periods not initiated by you, interactions with blacklisted addresses, large proportion fund transfers in recent transactions, abnormal gas fees, risky authorizations, stolen NFTs, or interactions with phishing contracts.
• Potential Risks: Evaluates whether your wallet address has been exposed on social media like Twitter or if held stablecoins have significantly depegged from fiat currency.

2. Active pop-up warnings

Whenever we initiate a transaction on-chain, the GoPlus security plugin conducts real-time monitoring, scanning transactions or website activities within the Web3 environment to actively identify high-risk transactions and websites.

If potential risks are detected, the GoPlus security plugin will automatically trigger a warning pop-up with a brief explanation of the risk type, prompting users to take precautionary measures.

Currently, after proactively assessing the security of each transaction or operation, the service categorizes risks into three levels:

• Low Risk (Green): No significant threat; users can proceed safely.
• Medium Risk (Yellow): Possible abnormal behavior or lack of prior interaction history; users are advised to proceed with caution.
• High Risk (Red): Clear malicious behavior detected, such as interactions with phishing addresses or high-risk smart contract operations; users are strongly advised to halt the operation.

Additionally, the pop-up not only displays the risk level but also provides detailed information, such as transaction history of the address, links to blacklisted entities, and records of abnormal behavior, helping users quickly understand the source of potential threats.

3. Customizable transaction environment monitoring

Each user can also flexibly customize their security protection strategies based on personal needs, including signature verification, transaction checks, phishing site detection, and Twitter phishing alerts, providing a tailored security experience.

For example, with “phishing site detection,” when the plugin identifies that you are about to visit a phishing website, it automatically triggers a risk warning such as “This URL is a phishing risk” (e.g., the past phishing link “defilllama,” which tricked users into connecting their wallets and signing malicious requests, leading to asset theft).

4.AI Bot

Additionally, when surfing on-chain, are you unsure which authorization actions might pose risks? Or do you struggle with how to quickly revoke high-risk authorizations after encountering issues?

When facing such security concerns, GoPlus’s AI Bot acts as your 24/7 on-chain security assistant. Whether you’re trading, interacting with DApps, signing operations, or engaging in other on-chain activities, the AI Bot can respond instantly, providing professional advice and real-time support around the clock.

5. Security to-do list

Do you often neglect regular security checks for on-chain interactions or miss critical security alerts due to information overload?

The GoPlus plugin addresses this by regularly pushing personalized security recommendations based on on-chain activity and dynamic environments. This helps users stay updated on the security status of their current interactions and provides specific optimization guidance, ensuring that every user remains protected at all times.

In addition, we can participate in various security-related activities and tasks, earning rewards for completing them, which further enhances our security awareness and protection capabilities.

Why Is An On-Chain Security Plugin Necessary?

Facing the increasingly complex on-chain environment, relying on users’ judgment of risks has become more difficult. Therefore, the significance of a security plugin lies in providing users with a real-time protective barrier, especially in scenarios with frequent transactions and complex interactions. However, since the plugin itself requires certain authorization permissions, choosing a trustworthy tool is crucial.

Key factors like brand reputation, institutional backing, and comprehensive protection capabilities are essential standards to ensure the plugin’s reliability and long-term stability. GoPlus stands out because, in addition to offering a seamless, one-stop security solution, it has also received investment from top institutions like Binance Labs and OKX Ventures.

Moreover, many users may unknowingly be using GoPlus’s security services extensively, as GoPlus is widely integrated into various mainstream on-chain tools and ecosystems:

• Wide Coverage: Supports over 30 public chains, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and Sui, with a stable and extensive service range.
• Adopted by Mainstream Platforms/Protocols: Widely adopted and integrated by platforms like Trust Wallet, CoinMarketCap, OKX Wallet, Bybit, DexScreener, Dextool, SushiSwap, etc.
• Serving a Large User Base: With an average of over 34 million daily calls, a total of over 4 billion calls, and covering more than 90% of users’ on-chain transactions, its open security application platform has served over 12 million on-chain users.

In a sense, a well-backed on-chain security plugin like GoPlus, which covers the entire transaction process, is not just a tool but an essential security barrier. Once you download and install the plugin, it works immediately without complex setup, allowing users to focus on their Web3 activities without constantly worrying about security issues.

Whether it’s trading, browsing DApps, or participating in DeFi projects, GoPlus quietly provides protection in the background, allowing users to focus more on on-chain investments and interactions.

Additionally, security needs are constantly evolving with changes in the Web3 environment. GoPlus’s security plugin not only offers comprehensive protection upon initial installation but also automatically updates and iterates its features, continuously optimizing its defense capabilities. It updates risk identification rules based on the latest attack patterns and vulnerability data, ensuring that users are always under the latest security protection in the ever-changing Web3 environment.
