How Security Gate Protects You

Every transaction is automatically scanned through 5 independent security checks β€” completing in under 1 second before you confirm.

⚑

Under 1 Second

5 checks run in parallel. Results displayed before you confirm.

πŸ”„

Send & Receive

Most wallets only check sending. Security Gate protects receiving too.

πŸ”‘

Non-Custodial

You always have final decision. Security Gate informs β€” you control.

Why Receiving Protection Matters

The Problem

  • βœ•Fake tokens airdropped to your wallet
  • βœ•Phishing links trick you into "selling"
  • βœ•Smart contract exploits steal funds
  • βœ•You receive tokens worth zero
  • βœ•By the time you notice, funds are gone

The Solution

  • βœ“Analyzed before you interact with it
  • βœ“Real-time risk alerts on arrival
  • βœ“Malicious code detected automatically
  • βœ“Fake token clones identified instantly
  • βœ“You're warned before any damage

The 5 Security Checks When You Send Crypto

When you initiate a transaction, Security Gate runs all 5 checks simultaneously.

01

Address Validation

Sending to wrong address = funds lost forever. Blockchain cannot reverse transactions.

What It Checks

  • β†’Format correct for blockchain
  • β†’Address matches blockchain standards
  • β†’Checksum valid
  • β†’No typos detected
  • β†’Address is real (not made-up format)

Real Examples

🟒 Green

Format correct (0x + 40 hex characters), checksum valid β€” clear to proceed.

πŸ”΄ Red

Missing character: "Address format incorrect. Is this intentional?"

02

Fraud Detection

Scammers reuse addresses. One database lookup can block thousands of known bad actors.

What It Checks

  • β†’Address on known scam list?
  • β†’Phishing address check
  • β†’Darkweb activity scan
  • β†’Association with stolen funds
  • β†’Sanctions list check

Real Examples

πŸ”΄ Red

"This address executed 5 rug pulls in past 6 months." Blocked by default.

🟒 Green

"Known legitimate address." Allows without warning.

03

Token Contract Verification

Scammers create FAKE tokens with the same name. Both may show as "USDC" β€” Security Gate verifies the actual contract address.

What It Checks

  • β†’Is the smart contract real?
  • β†’Legitimate or fake clone?
  • β†’Known exploits in the code?
  • β†’Contract verified (code visible)?
  • β†’Matches what you think you're sending?

Real Examples

🟒 Green

"Verified contract. This is real USDC." Contract matches known address.

πŸ”΄ Red

"This is NOT real USDC. This is a cloned token." Blocks/warns you.

04

Receiver Address History

Real addresses have history. Scam addresses are often brand new and discarded after the scam.

What It Checks

  • β†’How old is this address?
  • β†’What's the transaction history?
  • β†’Dormant or active pattern?
  • β†’Any suspicious patterns?
  • β†’Contract or EOA (externally owned)?

Real Examples

🟒 Green

4 years old, 5,000+ transactions, normal activity pattern β€” Low risk.

🟑 Yellow

"Created 2 hours ago, 0 transactions. Is this intentional?" β€” Medium risk.

05

Gas Estimation

Prevents overpaying on gas, getting stuck in mempool, or front-running attacks.

What It Checks

  • β†’Network congestion level
  • β†’Exact gas fee amount
  • β†’Transaction confirmation time
  • β†’Whether you're overpaying
  • β†’Speed options (standard, fast, urgent)

Real Examples

🟒 Green

Polygon: Gas ~$0.10 Β· Confirmation ~2 seconds Β· Send immediately.

🟑 Yellow

Ethereum high congestion: Standard $50 (~10 min) Β· Fast $120 (~2 min).

The 5 Security Checks When You Receive Crypto

Most wallets don't protect receiving. Security Gate does β€” automatically on every incoming token.

Sender Address Verification
Check 01

Sender Address Verification

Identifies who is sending you crypto. Checks if the sender is a known project, company, or person. Flags new or suspicious addresses before tokens land.

🟒 Green

Uniswap official distribution: "Verified legitimate sender." Safe to claim.

🟑 Yellow

Unknown address created 1 hour ago: "Unknown sender. Don't interact until verified."

πŸ”΄ Red

Impersonating MetaMask: "Sender is impersonating MetaMask. Phishing attempt." Blocked.

Token Fraud Detection
Check 02

Token Fraud Detection

Detects rug pull tokens, clones, malicious code, and tokens that drain your wallet if approved. Scam tokens look real in your wallet β€” Security Gate sees through them.

🟒 Green

Real ENS airdrop: "Legitimate protocol. Can safely interact."

πŸ”΄ Red

"MOON" rug pull token: "Creator has executed 3 rug pulls. Tokens worthless." Blocked.

πŸ”΄ Red

"YIELD" malicious token: "Approving this token would drain your wallet." Blocked.

Contract Authentication
Check 03

Contract Authentication

Verifies the token contract is legitimate. Compares contract address to known legitimate addresses. Blocks fake versions of real tokens like UNI, USDC, ETH.

🟒 Green

Verified USDC: "This is real USDC." Code verified on Etherscan.

🟑 Yellow

New project: "Contract unverified. Manually verify before use."

πŸ”΄ Red

Fake UNI: "Real UNI is 0x1f98... This contract is different." Blocked.

Source of Funds Analysis
Check 04

Source of Funds Analysis

Traces where the tokens came from. Receiving stolen or tainted funds can put you at legal risk. Security Gate warns you before you accept them.

🟒 Green

Exchange withdrawal (Coinbase): "Source is legitimate exchange." Safe to accept.

🟑 Yellow

Tokens from rug pull: "Tokens came from a rug pull β€” may not be tradeable."

πŸ”΄ Red

Stolen DeFi funds: "Funds trace to known theft/exploit." Blocked with legal warning.

Risk Scoring
Check 05

Risk Scoring

Combines all 4 checks into an overall risk score (0–100%). Provides a clear recommendation: accept, verify, or block.

🟒 Green

0% Risk β€” Auto-approved. Legitimate airdrop from verified protocol.

🟑 Yellow

60% Risk β€” Quarantine. Unknown token, unverified contract, unknown origin.

πŸ”΄ Red

95% Risk β€” Blocked. Known scammer, rug pull token, malicious code.

Step-by-Step Guide: Handling Risky Tokens

Three of the most common scenarios you'll encounter β€” and exactly what to do.

You Receive an Unknown Airdrop Token

🟑 50% Risk Score
⏸️

Step 1: Don't Panic

Just receiving a token β‰  you're hacked. Scammers send unsolicited tokens constantly.

🚫

Step 2: Don't Interact

Do NOT click links, approve the token, swap it, or visit websites about it.

πŸ”Ž

Step 3: Research

Search "[token name] scam". Check CoinGecko, official Discord, verified Twitter.

βœ…

Step 4: Decide

If legitimate: trade it. If suspicious: leave it. If confirmed scam: ignore completely.

Someone Sends ETH Then Asks for It Back

πŸ”΄ Refund Scam Alert
🧠

Step 1: Recognize the Scam

Official support NEVER asks for money via DM. Real mistakes are handled by exchanges.

🚫

Step 2: Block the Sender

Block the address immediately. Report them on Discord/Twitter.

πŸ’°

Step 3: Keep the ETH

The ETH sent to you is yours. Don't send it to a stranger's address.

πŸ“’

Step 4: Report to Meton

Forward the message to Meton support so the address gets blacklisted.

You Receive "500% APY" Ponzi Tokens

πŸ”΄ 90% Risk β€” Ponzi Scheme
🚫

Step 1: Don't Stake

Do NOT deposit money into the staking contract or approve the token for any contract.

🧠

Step 2: Understand the Scam

"Guaranteed" returns in crypto always mean scam. 500% APY is mathematically impossible.

πŸ—‘οΈ

Step 3: Get Rid of It

Leave it in wallet (harmless), try to swap (might fail), or just ignore it.

πŸ“’

Step 4: Report It

Report the contract address to Meton and warn others in the community Discord.

Security Gate Questions

Common questions about how Security Gate protects you.

Can Security Gate Block Legitimate Transactions?

Rarely. If it does, you can override (except high-risk). We're conservative on purpose β€” better to warn than allow harm.

Does Security Gate Share My Data?

No. All checks happen on-device or through privacy-preserving APIs. Meton never sees your addresses or transactions.

What If I Disagree With a Security Gate Alert?

You can override yellow/red alerts (except critical). But we recommend researching first before overriding.

Does Security Gate Protect Against All Scams?

No, but ~95%. No system is 100% safe. Use good judgment + Security Gate = maximum safety.

Can My Seed Phrase Be Stolen Through Security Gate?

No. Meton is non-custodial. Your seed phrase stays on your device. Security Gate cannot access it.

What If Someone Has My Address?

Just having your address is not dangerous. They can see your balance but cannot steal funds. Your private key is what matters.

Does Security Gate Cost Extra?

No. Built into Meton. Free for all users. No additional fees ever.

Can I Turn Off Security Gate?

No. It's always on. We strongly recommend never disabling it β€” it's your primary protection layer.

How Often is Security Gate Updated?

Continuously. New scam patterns are detected and added to the database daily.

What if Security Gate Flags a Real Address?

Unlikely but possible. Whitelist legitimate addresses you use often. Report false positives to security@metonwallet.com.
