Hi!  
Since recently requests send to our mainnet staking address are flagged as “deceptive requests” by the MetaMask UI.

 ![🏆・staking___Etherisc-_Discord](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/metamask/original/3X/1/f/1fdf5dee1f30da6a5e3ecbebf2e2f5417555ea85.png)

Since this is an important web application for us and the address is correct, we would like to have this “deceptive request” banner removed. How can this be done? I could not find any information on the MetaMask documentation about this. And the documentation of Blockaid is not publicly available.

Thanks,  
Marc

I did not receive it myself. It was reported by a user and seems to have popped up when staking DIP tokens on a bundle at staking[dot]etherisc[dot]com[slash]stake  
It originated from the staking tx (which moves DIP tokens from the connected wallet to the staking contract) and not from an approval tx. An example of such a tx is 0x8addf685ce2986bcbfc52474456c19aaa38294041d6424a295fbfba4d3d2701c on mainnet (etherscan). Cannot post the direct link here.  
But i managed to contact Blockaid and have the address cleared again, so it should be resolved by now.
