ScamAbuse. Let’s make TON safer, together

Malicious activity in crypto happens at an ever-growing scale and speed. Trust is damaged. How do we solve this? How do we bring safety to onboard the next billion users?

At ScamAbuse, we are convinced that this security problem requires that we:

  • Collectively share information about malicious activities — malicious activities that cannot always be detected programmatically.
  • Provide instant, honest, free support to victims of malicious activity.
  • Empower Law Enforcement to accelerate the fight against malicious crypto activity and the recovery of stolen funds.
  • Enable organizations to protect their users before they get scammed.

ScamAbuse is on a mission to make web3 safer for all TVM-based blockchains. Our aim is to build the power of the largest multi-chain, reliable, real-time database of malicious crypto activity worldwide across 16 categories of malicious crypto activity.

Those specific scams and their associated information can be hard to detect simply using AI/ML and are better identified when reported by victims and expert investigators.

Our API enables you to check whether URLs or addresses have been reported as malicious in real-time. This can be used, for example, to enhance safety.

Oyster. Security & Operational monitoring.

The Oyster monitors TON on-chain activity in real-time, detecting threats and other security-related events. The network is made up of numerous detection bots developed by a community of Web3 developers and security experts. Each bot acts like a little security camera monitoring something specific on-chain. What the Oyster detects is a direct result of the bots being run. Some bots monitor generic threats, and others monitor specific activity.

The output of all this monitoring and detection is what we refer to as threat intelligence — data that tells you the “who, what, when, where and how” of Web3 threats and security events.

There are two primary users of the Oyster:

  • Consumers, who use threat intel generated by the network. You might be a Web3 wallet, a DeFi protocol, or a centralized exchange looking for the latest threat intel to protect your customers.
  • Developers, who create and maintain detection bots. You might be an engineer interested in contributing to the overall security of Web3, or a DeFi core dev interested in using Oyster to monitor your protocol.

You may be a consumer, a developer, or both!

TONDEX. TVM DEX Screener.

Our mission is to continue gathering more data and offering more tools for the DeFi trader to ensure there is no need to go elsewhere for a DeFi terminal.

Information aggregation: While you trade, the one thing you would want is — access to better information to make better decisions. Most traders rely on real-time data analysis to anticipate market movements, hence information aggregators are vital.

Put simply, TONDEX offers data. We work hard to gather all relevant on-chain data to then present it to TONDEX users in a helpful and efficient way for DeFi traders. Data will be collected from TVM-compatible chains so DeFi traders on TON can enjoy the same trading experience when analyzing their favourite Jettons. This will be done by monitoring many unique DEXs and their pools for liquidity changes, trades, and price movements.

Using the foundations of on-chain data, the TONDEX team continues to find more efficient and effective ways of presenting this data. The multi-chart trading tool, your favourite Jettons tab, and your wallet breakdown compile on-chain activity to help you, the trader
