Scam Sniffer combines a first‑layer “Crypto Safe Browsing” engine that checks URLs against a continuously updated blocklist with a second‑layer “Signature Security” that flags risky NFT listings, token approvals and swap signatures before a user signs them【1】. The service draws from a pipeline that scans 47 M URLs, verifies 705 K scam entries and blocks 258 K domains, feeding the data to both the browser extension and an API for wallets, exchanges and compliance teams【2】.
The extension is free, offering limited monthly detections, while a premium plan adds unlimited detections and a 0.25 % fee on selected DEX trades (currently free)【1】. For developers, Scam Sniffer provides an open‑source database on GitHub and a paid “Standard” API tier starting at $999 per month for real‑time lookups, with an “Enterprise” custom offering for large platforms【2】.
The tool protects against phishing across EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, TON and Tron wallets, as well as front‑end compromises, supply‑chain attacks and social‑engineering threats on X (formerly Twitter)【1】. It also highlights risky token/NFT approvals, including Uniswap Permit2, and checks NFT listings on major protocols such as Seaport, Blur and LooksRare【1】.
Scam Sniffer’s growing user base and extensive threat intel suggest that real‑time, on‑chain scam detection is becoming a baseline security layer for crypto participants, though the effectiveness of its premium fee model remains to be seen.
