Subject: Feature Request – “Quarantine Area” (Vault / Safe Mode) for Enhanced Asset Protection
Dear [MetaMask] Team,
First of all, thank you for your amazing work on this wallet – it’s a product I use daily and truly appreciate. I’d like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve user security against malicious DApps and hacking incidents.
Feature Proposal: Quarantine Area (Vault / Safe Mode)
Purpose:
A dedicated wallet section where selected assets can be isolated, preventing them from being accessed or moved unless an additional security step is completed.
Key Points:
-
Isolation: Assets placed in the quarantine area cannot be used in transactions or approvals without explicit secondary confirmation.
-
Extra Security: Access requires a separate password/PIN. Forgotten credentials can be reset using the wallet’s seed phrase.
-
Hack Prevention: Even if the user interacts with a malicious site and loses other tokens, quarantined assets remain safe.
-
Implementation Idea: Operates as a transaction signing filter, automatically rejecting unauthorized requests involving quarantined assets.
Benefits:
-
Acts like a “cold storage” section inside the hot wallet.
-
Minimizes losses from phishing or compromised DApps.
I believe this would provide a huge security upgrade for users, especially in DeFi and DEX environments.
Thank you for considering this feature.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Best regards,
Selim Ceylan
