MetaMask Adds Romance and Investment Scam Warnings Before Sending Funds
- —The feature triggers immediately before a transaction is sent
- —Address checks are performed jointly with Blockaid
- —Users are asked about how they met, promised profits, and urgency
- —Crypto scam losses in the US in 2025 reached $7.2 billion, per IC3
Why it matters: Social engineering is the main channel of losses in crypto, and built-in warnings in the largest wallet could reduce the volume of such transfers.
