KYT MetaMask Snap by bitsCrunch
Stay Safe with Every Transaction
The KYT MetaMask Snap by bitsCrunch brings Know Your Transaction (KYT) protection directly to your MetaMask wallet. With real time transaction scores and summaries, our AI-powered Snap helps shield you from phishing, scams, and other malicious on-chain activities.
How It Protects You
The bitsCrunch KYT Snap uses advanced AI algorithms to flag:
- Wallets involved in illicit or suspicious activities.
- Smart contracts with wallet-draining functionality.
- Duplicate or counterfeit tokens mimicking legitimate assets.
- Token approvals that could potentially drain your funds.
How It Works
Our AI analyzes historical address activity such as:
- Transaction volume
- Nature of interactions
- Asset holdings
It then assigns a transaction risk score and generates a concise summary inside your MetaMask wallet. This helps you quickly identify malicious or high-risk addresses before you proceed.
How to Use
- Install the bitsCrunch Snap plugin for MetaMask.
- When making a transaction, open the bitsCrunch tab inside your MetaMask wallet.
- Review the transaction score and summary before confirming to ensure you're not falling victim to phishing or scams.
FAQs
1. How does this Snap determine if a transaction is risky?
Our AI algorithms analyze the historical activity of the wallet or contract involved by looking at transaction patterns, asset holdings, and suspicious behaviors. Based on this data, the Snap assigns a transaction score and provides an easy-to-understand summary.
2. Do I need to share my private keys or any sensitive data?
Absolutely not. The KYT Snap works entirely within your MetaMask wallet and never requires access to your private keys or personal information. Your funds and data remain fully under your control.
3. Will using the KYT Snap affect my transaction speed or cost?
No. The Snap only analyzes data and does not interfere with your transactions. It doesn’t add gas fees or slow down your wallet. It simply provides additional security insights before you confirm.
4. Is the KYT Snap free to use?
Yes, the KYT Snap is free to install and use. We believe everyone should have access to advanced security tools to protect their on-chain transactions.
