FAQ

Is Blockfence safe?

Blockfence doesn’t require any access or control over your wallet and funds. In addition, since it’s our top priority, we require advanced security measures, including full compliance with OWASP TOP 10 requirements. We have implemented a rigorous release pipeline involving multiple tests and scans to ensure our users’ utmost security. Our browser extension has undergone static code analysis by Sonarqube, dependency analysis by Dependabot, and semantic code analysis by CodeQL, all of which have been successfully passed.

What if I would like to test out Blockfence before adding it as an extension to my browser?

Well, you can do it! Head over to the Blockfence Web query page and just enter a smart contract address to test drive.

Why should I add Blockfence to my browser rather than using it online?

Blockfence browser extension will monitor and protect you in every transaction you perform. On top, Blockfence also protects you on the browser’s level. Blockfence Web will require you to manually type each smart contract before every transaction.

Can Blockfence transfer tokens from my wallet?

Blockfence has no allowance over your wallet and your funds. This means that we can’t move them or sign any transactions on your behalf.

Blockfence is here to alert you if you’re about to approve something that could risk your assets, as well as provide you with confidence when interacting with any web3 assets and smart contracts.

Who needs to install Blockfence?

While beginners could find value doing their first steps in the crypto and web3 ecosystem, the Blockfence story started because one of our closest friends, an experienced crypto OG, signed a malicious transaction that drained his wallet by mistake. Within seconds he lost a high 6-digit USD equivalent. If it happens to him – it can happen to anyone.

Blockfence and privacy: What personal data does Blockfence collect?

We don’t know anything about you. To download Blockfence you don’t need to provide any personal details such as your name, email address, location, or IP address.

We collect only the specific information needed to identify potentially dangerous transactions without compromising privacy. We gather the following data:

  • The URL of the current website to monitor and detect phishing sites (the feature can be disabled via the Settings menu).
  • Transaction details, which are already publicly available on the blockchain.

Moreover, we don’t collect or store but only verify this information ONLY when the user manually engages the extension (by scanning a specific address) or is about to execute a transaction using their wallet. The latter option can also be disabled via settings.
