What is Crypto Scam Detector?
The Crypto Scam Detector is a sophisticated security extension designed to safeguard users from the complex world of Web3 fraud. By utilizing a database-first architecture, this Openclaw Skills contribution provides near-instantaneous risk assessment for Ethereum addresses without the latency of real-time API calls. It identifies common threats such as phishing attempts, honeypot contracts, rug pulls, and Ponzi schemes by analyzing transaction patterns and decoding hex data for suspicious keywords.
This tool is essential for developers and traders who need to verify counterparty addresses before executing transactions. With its background synchronization worker, the skill maintains a fresh local repository of scam indicators, ensuring that users of Openclaw Skills have access to the latest security intelligence while maintaining privacy and avoiding Etherscan rate limits.
Crypto Scam Detector Use Cases
- Verifying a smart contract address before interaction to prevent honeypot or rug pull losses.
- Auditing transaction history for references to known hacking groups like Lazarus Vanguard.
- Automated screening of recipient addresses within decentralized finance (DeFi) workflows.
- Identifying phishing attempts in transaction messages and decoded hex data.
- Running background security checks on a list of addresses via a scheduled cron job.
How Crypto Scam Detector Works
- The user initiates a check for a specific cryptocurrency address using the local database checker.
- The system queries the local SQLite database for existing records, risk scores, and known scam indicators.
- If the address is found, the skill returns an instant analysis including a risk score from 0 to 100 and specific red flags.
- If the address is unknown, it is automatically added to a synchronization queue for the background worker to process.
- The background sync worker pulls data from Etherscan using an encrypted API key, decodes transaction messages, and updates the local database.
Crypto Scam Detector Setup
To get started with this skill within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, follow these steps:
- Navigate to your skills directory and run the installer:
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/crypto-scam-detector
bash install.sh
- Configure your Etherscan API key using the interactive setup wizard for encrypted storage:
./setup.sh
- Alternatively, set your API key as an environment variable:
export ETHERSCAN_API_KEY="your_key_here"
Crypto Scam Detector Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data into a local SQLite database located at ~/.config/crypto-scam-detector/crypto_data.db. The schema includes the following tables:
| Table | Description |
|---|---|
| addresses | Stores address metadata, risk scores, balances, and timestamps. |
| transactions | Contains records of suspicious transactions and decoded hex messages. |
| scam_indicators | Catalogs specific red flags and keyword matches per address. |
| sync_queue | Manages the list of addresses pending background synchronization. |
Risk levels are categorized from Low Risk (0-19) to Critical Risk (80-100) based on factors like account age, unverified contract code, and suspicious transaction keywords.
Crypto Scam Detector Advanced Features
- Background sync worker with customizable batch processing and rate-limiting delays.
- Transaction hex data decoding to identify exploit recruitment or phishing messages.
- Secure, AES-256 encrypted API key storage using PBKDF2.
- JSON output mode for seamless integration with other CLI tools and automation pipelines.
- Automated cron scheduling support for continuous database updates in Openclaw Skills.
