After two years of developing the

Web3 security solution, it's time for our brand to mature and match our unparalleled quality.
MintDefense is no more.
Welcome to the new Kerberus era.
We're excited to announce our new brand, Kerberus, and the rebranding of our flagship…
We are THE ONLY solution that will truly keep Web3 users safe.
We are YEARS ahead of the "competition". Between quotes because transaction translation is NOT scam detection.
And we will be adding even more years very soon.
We are cooking. Just wait and see.
Got a lot of questions about which are the best scam detection browser extensions so I used several to evaluate a Pudgy Penguins scam site tonight.
One of them blocked me from accessing the site, a couple of them gave limited warnings, and three of them totally blew it.
Here's…
We cover ALL EVM chains out of the box, which means that we will be protecting our users transacting on
@Blast_L2
when mainnet launches later today.
If you're not using MintDefense, stay vigilant, as there will be many scam sites.
If you are using MintDefense, you're protected.
Correct. We are the only one operating this way.
The rest are devs trying to make it in the startup space vs. our 15 years of cybersec experience, hacking financial institutions and companies (e.g. PayPal, Dropbox.
We know what we are doing and our results speak for themselves.
A lot of Web3 security tools provide users with information and the user decides whether to proceed.
This means the user is doing their own security.
Security tools need to make it near-impossible for the user to ignore their scam detection. Information overload won't work.
We are not surprised

MintDefense mass adoption will eradicate these headlines.
Web3 grows much faster than everyone thinks.
We'll get there in no time.
Heavily disagree about using multiple security tools (marketing answer included).
1- Using multiple antiviruses on your computer can create conflicts that cause them to malfunction. The same applies to Web3 security extensions.
2- Some tools perform very poorly, and people…
@MintDefense
@cryptoShields
ok but there should not be "competition" especially as a marketing angle.
Security tools should shout for communities to use multiple security tools.
I followed account but I'll admit the reply reduced my chance of trying it soon. Speaking as a marketer, not as a security dev.

On November 20th, 2023 6pm PST, we became aware of a security vulnerability in a commonly used open-source library in the web3 industry.
