Cosmoshield

Community Engagement

Cosmoshield maintains a robust presence within the Cosmos community, ensuring transparency and ongoing dialogue through various channels. Its active Twitter feed and a blog dedicated to cryptocurrency security education serve as platforms for updates and informative content. Furthermore, Cosmoshield’s collaborations with entities like Keplr and the OSL underscore a collective effort to fortify the Interchain against fraud, demonstrating the platform’s integral role in fostering a secure and trusting ecosystem.

The Four Tenets of Our Work

Research

The initial phase of Cosmoshield’s methodology involves rigorous research into malicious activities across social media and blockchain data, focusing on preemptive identification and investigation of scams. Techniques such as wallet honeypotting and malicious UI investigation facilitate a deeper understanding of scammer methodologies, informing the design of Cosmoshield’s defensive mechanisms.

Monitoring

Upon identifying a malicious address, Cosmoshield applies its forensic acumen to track the address’s transactional history, tracing activities across blockchains and potentially to social media platforms. This enables the team to constrain the operational scope of scammers and malicious actors effectively.

Support Victims

Acknowledging that not all scams can be preemptively halted, Cosmoshield stands ready to assist every victim, focusing on the recovery of locked, bonded, or staked funds. While direct retrieval of transferred coins is beyond the platform’s capabilities, ongoing research and monitoring efforts aim to track and scrutinize the flow of stolen funds.

Prevention

In anticipation of the escalating trend in cryptocurrency scams, Cosmoshield has implemented measures aimed at curbing phishing and malicious activities. Collaborations with Chainapsis (developers of Keplr Wallet) and partnerships with the OSL highlight the platform’s proactive approach to enhancing digital security through phishing domain filtering and direct support mechanisms.

Cosmoshield represents a beacon of hope and resilience in the Cosmos ecosystem, embodying a comprehensive strategy that spans from recovery services to preventative measures, all aimed at creating a safer cryptocurrency environment for all participants.

Interchain Info & Team can and does vouch for Cosmoshield, but please note, you should always be careful with any service that goes near your keys.
