To keep your assets secure, Bifrost Wallet has partnered with BlockAid, an industry leading security provider. Together, we automatically detect and block malicious crypto websites in real-time. When you attempt to open a known scam or high-risk site via the in-app browser, we intervene immediately with a specific alert similar to the one below to prevent you from connecting your wallet and getting scammed.

Are These Websites Connected to Bifrost Wallet?

Absolutely not!

It is important to understand that the website you are trying to visit is an independent, third-party site.

  • They are NOT created, operated, or endorsed by Bifrost Wallet.

  • We do NOT collaborate with these sites.

  • We did NOT send you there.

These are usually scam sites found via social media, email phishing, fake ads or fake friends. We are simply the shield standing between you and them.


What Does the Security Alert Mean?

When the alert appears, it means:

  • The website you are trying to access has been identified as malicious or unsafe.

  • These websites often attempt to trick users into connecting their wallet or signing harmful transactions.

  • If a user connects their wallet to such a site, scammers can gain access to the user's assets and drain their funds.


Why Bifrost Wallet Blocks These Sites

Crypto scams frequently rely on fake investment platforms, phishing sites, fraudulent airdrops, and impersonation pages. These sites are not affiliated with Bifrost Wallet in any way, but they often target users of legitimate wallets.

By working with BlockAid, Bifrost Wallet can:

  • Detect scam websites in real time

  • Attempt to block access before any harmful actions occur

  • Prevent wallet connections to malicious platforms

  • Keep your funds and personal information safe

This security layer is built to protect you, even if you accidentally click a suspicious link.


What Should You Do When You See the Warning?

If the alert appears:

  1. Stop Immediately: Do not try to bypass the warning.

  2. Do NOT Connect: Never connect your wallet or sign a transaction on a flagged site.

  3. Tap "Back to Safety": Use the button on the screen to return to a secure page.

If you believe the warning is a mistake, you may contact our support team using the link shown in the alert.


How This Helps Protect Your Funds

Many users unknowingly lose funds after connecting their wallet to fake DeFi platforms, phishing sites, or fraudulent β€œmining” sites. Blocking these sites directly inside the wallet:

  • Prevents unauthorized access

  • Stops malicious transaction requests

  • Reduces the risk of wallet drain attacks

  • Adds an important layer of security for all users

Your safety is our priority, and this system ensures that even one accidental tap will not result in lost assets. If you have questions about a specific website or want to report a suspicious link, our support team is here to help.

We are always committed to improving your security and ensuring that your crypto experience remains safe, transparent, and easy to use.
