👋 Welcome to Vigilance DAO!

(The docs are work in progress **🚧)**

Introduction

A lot of non-tech savvy people get scammed through phishing websites, wallet scams, etc. To begin with, idea is to create a protocol that crowdsources and maintains active scammers information on the chain so that other apps/dapps like browsers, DEXs, CEXs, wallets, etc. can use this information to warn their users if they try interaction with scammers. As a start, a simple chrome extension that warns people when they land at unknown websites is built.

Vision

Interacting with Defi is tricky. Different kinds of phishing attacks are possible and some of most tech savvy guys itself cannot clearly distinguish some attacks before they happen (e.g. Badger DAO).

Attackers also find new ways to attack these days. It is important to help the community stay on top of these and standardise this information to help other apps to use this information for their benefit.

Possible attack types:

1. Phishing domains (e.g. uniswap attack in july 2022) - in progress
2. scam wallets (e.g. Tron multi sig wallet scam)
3. Attacker script injection in legitimate websites (e.g. Badger DAO, curve fi attack)
