Hello Dev Community 👋
My name is Umirzok Mamatmurodovich Abduraxmanov, and I want to share a new security idea based on a real-life problem many new crypto users face: sending funds to personal or scam wallet addresses without any warning.
In August and September 2025, I accidentally sent several USDT transactions to a scammer’s wallet address. This happened because current exchanges and wallets do not warn users when the destination is not an official exchange or custodial address.
That painful experience inspired me to develop a new idea:
💡 What is “Personal Wallet Warning Signal”?
Personal Wallet Warning Signal is a security concept that adds a smart detection and warning system before a crypto transaction is sent.
It aims to stop scams before they happen by alerting users when the destination address looks risky or suspicious.
⚙️ Step-by-Step Concept
Address Input & Validation – The system checks the address format, length, and blockchain type (e.g., TRC20, ERC20).
Exchange Address Check – It compares the address with a database of known custodial/exchange addresses. If matched → transaction continues.
EOA vs. Custodial Detection – If no match is found, the system classifies whether it’s a personal (EOA) wallet or custodial address.
Risk & Blacklist Analysis – The address is checked against phishing databases, scam records, and assigned a risk score.
New User Sensitivity – Stricter rules for new accounts (e.g., less than 5 transactions).
Warning Signal – If the address is risky or personal:
⚠️ “This address appears to be personal or unverified. Scam risk detected. Please double-check before proceeding.”
User Decision Layer –
❌ Cancel → Transaction stops.
✅ Proceed → Requires 2FA and a short delay before sending.
Logging & Analytics – All actions logged for future security improvement.
🚀 Why This Matters
Prevents scams before they happen – stops accidental transfers to personal wallets.
Protects beginners – many victims are first-time users.
Improves trust – exchanges that use this system will show users they care about safety.
Can become an industry standard – much like browser phishing alerts did for the web.
📩 Call for Feedback & Collaboration
I would love to hear feedback from blockchain developers, security experts, and exchange teams.
Do you think this concept could become part of future crypto platforms?
