Whitelist of token contract addresses that legitimately accept ETH

Mars · May 19, 2024, 11:57am

Description:

I created an NFT project back in 2021 (on 4/20, more than 3 years ago) and the same contract has both all the NFT functionalities, as well as accepting ETH to mint a new one.

BUT

Now receiving the warning:

Address on mainnet: 0x3ef61d25b2bf303de52efdd5e50698bed8f9eb8d

(new user, unable to post the link to Etherscan)

While in 99% cases sending ETH to token contract is not OK, there is 1% of legitimate use cases.

Purpose:

Some token contracts can legitimately receive ETH.

Removing the warning will enhance UI / UX.

Extension/Mobile/Both:

Chrome Extension, didn’t test on mobile.

Images/Attachments:

Default warning, already attached.

Are you sure?

There is a feature: https://support.metamask.io/managing-my-tokens/moving-your-tokens/why-am-i-being-warned-about-sending-tokens-to-a-contract/

I’m suggesting “feature request” to circumvent that, because there are some legitimate use cases.

Not saying it’s a bug, but just so someone can investigate your individual case further and see why it is being flagged now
