No More Scam Transactions: D’CENT Alerts You in Real Time

D’CENT Wallet, a mobile-first hardware wallet developed by South Korean security company IoTrust, now features real time threat detection that actively scans transactions and alerts users to scams before they sign. This update helps protect users at the moment when mistakes are most likely to happen, just before a transaction is approved.

For example, if you copy a wallet address from a WhatsApp group to send tokens, you might unknowingly paste a phishing address that looks almost identical to the real one. These scams are hard to catch with the naked eye. Now, D’CENT automatically checks the address in real time. If it is linked to suspicious activity, the app alerts you before you sign and gives you a chance to cancel the transaction before any damage is done.

Protecting users before they sign

Malicious transactions often succeed not because of weak security, but because users unknowingly approve something harmful. That is why D’CENT has integrated a crypto wallet threat detection system, developed in collaboration with Blockaid, directly into the D’CENT app. This feature scans for suspicious behavior whenever users interact with tokens, smart contracts, or wallet addresses right before any approval takes place.

If any of the following risks are detected, the app automatically alerts the user:

• Malicious token detection
  Some tokens are designed to exploit wallet permissions or trigger hidden approvals. D’CENT flags tokens that may attempt to drain funds or include harmful contract logic.
  
  

• Transaction simulation and validation
  Before a transaction is signed, D’CENT simulates the result in the background. If the outcome includes unexpected token transfers or contract calls, the user receives a clear warning.
  
  

• Malicious dApp detection
  When connecting to decentralized applications, D’CENT checks the smart contract’s behavior and reputation. If the dApp is associated with risk or abnormal patterns, the user is warned before proceeding.
  
  

These protections are built into D’CENT and are always on, working automatically in the background to keep users safe without requiring any setup.

How it works

D’CENT constantly monitors user activity using a real time threat detection system powered by Blockaid. Whether you are sending tokens, signing a smart contract, or connecting to a dApp, the system automatically scans for phishing patterns, malicious contract behavior, and unusual on-chain activity. Everything runs directly inside the D'CENT app with no browser extensions or extra tools required.

Each transaction is checked against a global database of scam tokens, flagged wallet addresses, risky smart contracts, and scam tokens. If a threat is detected, D’CENT alerts you before you sign, helping prevent damage before it happens.

This same security infrastructure already powers leading platforms such as Coinbase, OKX, Kraken, and MetaMask. D’CENT now brings that level of defense to a mobile-first hardware wallet experience.

A Step Forward in User-Centric Security

“Security should not rely on users knowing how to read smart contracts or recognize red flags,” said Sang Su Baek, CEO of IoTrust. “Your wallet should do more than store your assets. It should actively protect you by flagging threats before you sign anything.”

This update reflects D’CENT’s broader mission to help users safely interact with Web3. Instead of relying solely on cold storage, the wallet plays an active role in detecting and preventing malicious on-chain interactions before they happen.
