  • Users can explore the Web3 environment with confidence thanks to the customized security program known as Web3 Antivirus.
  • To ensure a secure outcome, the tool checks tokens, simulates transactions, and examines smart contracts.
  • Tens of thousands of risky smart contracts are identified and blacklisted by Web3 Antivirus.

Background

The newest version of the internet, Web3, has raised the bar for online communication. It does have risks, though, just like any new technology. Although blockchain technology makes Web3 more resilient, it nevertheless inherits many Web2 security vulnerabilities and is vulnerable to further attacks.

Types of Web3 Risks

Data Security

Web3’s broader network topology creates new data security issues. While data decentralization decreases single points of attack and blockchain transactions are encrypted, it exposes data to several hazards, including data authenticity and manipulation. The lack of centralized monitoring also concerns endpoint attacks, traffic overflows, and service availability exploitation.

Social Engineering

Despite the deployment of blockchain-based infrastructures, social engineering concerns continue to plague Web3. These dangers include, among others, ice phishing, rug pulls, cryptojacking, flash loan assaults, and smart contract logic hacks. The intricacy of Web3 interfaces only compounds the hazards posed by traditional social engineering concerns like phishing assaults.

Identity

Thanks to functions like user-controlled wallets, ID portability, and data reduction, Web3 gives consumers more control over their data. Anonymity, pseudonymity, and self-sovereign identification all have drawbacks. Transparent public blockchains have trade-offs in terms of security and privacy. Concerns about the user experience, privacy, compliance, and anonymity occur due to Web3’s decentralized structure.

Market Manipulation

Decentralized networks, on which Web3 depends, need secure means to connect with the outside world. The most popular answer is oracles; however, even they cannot ensure that market prices are fair or that there is no market manipulation. A dishonest cryptocurrency trader siphoned off more than $100 million in liquidity from the decentralized exchange in 2022 by manipulating the price of Mango’s MNGO token using millions of USDC tokens.

Web3 Antivirus: A Specialized Protection Tool

Many individuals are investigating Web3’s advantages, but only some of them pay close attention to possible concerns, partly because it is believed that Web3 is inherently more secure than Web2, which is incorrect. Fortunately, there are specialist solutions that guarantee safer Web3 space navigation, and Web3 Antivirus is one of them.

To warn users before engaging in potentially dangerous behavior, Web3 Antivirus may easily be configured as a browser extension and can evaluate all individuals and resources that users contact on Web3. Web3 Antivirus performs a real-time audit of all smart contracts underlying transactions to spot risky logic, flaws, and compromising permissions to access user cash. It also checks tokens and simulates transactions before executing them to ensure a secure outcome.

New Features of Web3 Antivirus

Regular updates let Web3 Antivirus expand its capabilities. The extension’s development team released version 0.6 earlier in April, introducing several new capabilities, including:

Fair Fiat Token Price

Since decentralized networks don’t have direct access to the real world, it’s crucial to ensure that the pricing supplied by decentralized applications is fair. Market manipulation risk is decreased as a result.

Algorithm improvements

A better algorithm has been developed to process smart contracts and find potential threats. The phishing site search algorithm for Web3 Antivirus has also been upgraded.

Conclusion

The upcoming internet version known as Web3 will fundamentally alter how people connect online. Users need to be informed that it also introduces additional security threats. With the aid of Web3 Antivirus, users can navigate the Web3 environment more securely. Web3 Antivirus enables users to explore the Web3 environment securely while lowering potential threats in real-time thanks to continual developments and a user-friendly strategy. Users must be on the lookout for potential threats as the Web3 environment develops and utilize specialized protection solutions to reduce them.
