Web3 Antivirus has built a wallet risk scanner that lets users paste any Ethereum address, contract, or ENS name and instantly pull a Toxic Score alongside a breakdown of wallet health, active approvals, airdrop exposure, and flagged activity.
The tool targets a real gap in everyday Web3 hygiene: most users interact with contracts or send funds without any prior check on whether the counterparty address has a history of malicious behavior or dangerous approvals. A quick scan before signing can surface risks that aren't visible on-chain at a glance.
At importance band this is a niche utility product rather than a market-moving event, but for active DeFi and NFT participants the workflow — paste, scan, decide — is a practical addition to a pre-interaction checklist.
