The Problem
The Invisible Threat
Phishing attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, targeting Solana users through deceptive websites that are nearly indistinguishable from legitimate platforms.
$4.17M Lost
Over $4.17 million lost to phishing attacks targeting Solana users in 2024 alone.
4,000+ Victims
More than 4,000 Solana users victimized by sophisticated phishing scams like Rainbow Drainer.
72% Vulnerable
72% of users cannot identify sophisticated phishing attempts targeting Solana wallets.
The Trust Imperative
Trust Drives Adoption
In blockchain, trust isn't just a feature—it's the foundation upon which mass adoption and scalability are built. Without it, even the most advanced systems will fail.
The Scalability Paradox
Blockchain technology promises unprecedented financial freedom and decentralization. Yet its greatest strength—trustless architecture—faces a paradox: users must trust their interfaces to the blockchain.
Solana's explosive growth to 2.8M+ monthly active wallets and $4.8B+ in TVL creates a proportionally larger attack surface. Each new user represents both network strength and potential vulnerability.
When security fails, adoption reverses. The 580% user growth in 2024 could rapidly contract if trust erodes, as users retreat to traditional systems they perceive as safer.
The Vulnerability Gap
The critical vulnerability in blockchain ecosystems exists not in the chains themselves, but in the moment users connect their wallets to interfaces they believe are trustworthy.
Traditional security tools operate too late—only checking transactions after wallet connection, when malicious code already has access. This fundamental gap has cost Solana users $4.17M in 2024 alone.
The technical sophistication of blockchain stands in stark contrast to the relative simplicity of phishing attacks that exploit human trust rather than protocol weaknesses.
Recent Attack Vectors
Rainbow Drainer Attack
$1.2MMarch 2024
Sophisticated phishing campaign targeting Solana NFT holders with fake minting sites, resulting in wallet draining through hidden approval transactions.
Phantom Wallet Impersonation
$860KJanuary 2024
Attackers created convincing fake Phantom wallet interfaces that captured seed phrases and private keys when users attempted to connect.
Solana DeFi Protocol Exploit
$2.1MNovember 2023
Users were directed to malicious frontend interfaces of legitimate DeFi protocols, approving transactions that drained their wallets.
Our Solution
Bridging the Trust Gap
Iteration 0001 fundamentally shifts the security paradigm by analyzing webpage code before wallet connection, precisely when users are most vulnerable.
By intercepting connection requests and simulating potential transactions, we create a protective barrier that identifies threats at their source—before they can access wallet capabilities.
Our approach doesn't require users to change their behavior or learn new security practices. We simply make their existing workflow secure.
Pre-Connection Protection
96% detection rate of phishing attempts before wallet connection occurs, compared to 12% with traditional tools.
Privacy-First Architecture
100% local processing ensures user data never leaves their device, maintaining complete privacy while providing maximum security.
Seamless Integration
Direct integration with Phantom wallet provides protection without disrupting user workflow or requiring technical knowledge.
Our Solution
Proactive Protection
Iteration 0001 uses locally-hosted AI to analyze webpage code before you connect your wallet, identifying threats that other security tools miss.
