Cool, thank for the link (I’d have known about it before :sweat_smile:). I’m not sure if Wallet Guard also maintains a list of malicious wallet addresses, but I’ll give it a try :+1:

Other Snaps like Forta maintain a list of malicious addresses, you can check out the full list of Transaction Insight Snaps on https://snaps.metamask.io/ and sorting by Transaction Insights :slight_smile:
