- Community involvement is crucial for reporting scams and integrating Sui Guardians for better security.
The Sui Foundation is delighted to commend the remarkable efforts of the Sui community, especially the pivotal role played by Suiet in upholding the safety of the Sui ecosystem through the Sui Guardians program. This vital initiative, crafted and overseen by Suiet, aims to tackle scam projects within Sui by offering crucial security resources to developers and users.
The Role of Sui Guardians in Preventing Scams
Phishing attacks and scams have consistently been a challenge for internet users, and the valuable assets in Web3 ecosystems amplify these threats. These malicious actions often prey on unsuspecting individuals, misleading them into revealing confidential information or transferring important assets. Sui Guardians was created to counter these dangers by providing a dedicated database for identifying and documenting phishing websites targeting the Sui ecosystem.
Scammers often distribute NFTs into users’ wallets, masquerading as legitimate projects to trick victims into connecting their wallets to harmful websites. These fraudulent sites then steal the users’ assets. It is essential for users to verify the origin and legitimacy of any received NFTs and refrain from connecting their wallets to unknown domains.
The Protective Measures of Sui Guardians
Sui Guardians addresses these concerns by maintaining a thorough and constantly updated database of known phishing websites and harmful assets identified through prefix matching. This database includes:
- coin-list.json: A blacklist of coins, currently listing over 160 coins.
- object-list.json: A blacklist of objects, including more than 280 NFTs.
- domain-list.json: A blacklist of nearly 50,000 domain names.
- package-list.json: A blacklist of over 200 packages.
These lists are available via Suiet’s GitHub repository and can be utilized by any application on Sui to safeguard users in real time. When a user visits a website through an app using Sui Guardians, the URL is checked against the domain list. If a match is found, the user is alerted and redirected to a safe page.
Thanks to Sui Guardians, around 2,500 alerts about malicious interactions are issued to Suiet users weekly.
The Importance of Community Involvement
The effectiveness of Sui Guardians depends significantly on community engagement. The Sui Foundation urges all developers on Sui to incorporate this tool to protect their users from scams. Developers and users are also encouraged to provide information about known scams to the database. Reports can be submitted through the Sui Guardian Scam Report Form, where detailed information about scams can be reviewed and added.
Sui Guardians not only boosts the security of individual users but also supports the overall integrity of the Sui ecosystem. By offering a strong mechanism to track and block harmful activities, Sui Guardians ensures that users can interact with assets on Sui with increased confidence and safety. Contributions from ecosystem partners like SuiSec and Scallop enhance these security measures, further safeguarding the community.
Collective Efforts to Strengthen the Sui Ecosystem
The Sui Guardians program highlights how collaborative initiatives within the Sui ecosystem can lead to significant improvements in user security. While the Sui Foundation has supported this initiative, it is the proactive actions of Suiet and the collective vigilance of the community that make Sui Guardians an essential tool in the fight against scams.
By incorporating and contributing to Sui Guardians, developers and users alike play a crucial role in shielding the Sui community from fraudulent activities, ensuring a more secure and trustworthy environment. For more information and to access the database, visit Suiet’s GitHub repository.
