What is Crypto Scam Detector?
The Crypto Scam Detector is a sophisticated security extension built for Openclaw Skills, designed to protect users from the evolving landscape of Web3 fraud. By utilizing a database-first architecture, this skill eliminates the latency and rate-limiting issues common with standard blockchain scanners. It performs deep analysis on Ethereum addresses, checking for known phishing signatures, honeypot contract patterns, and suspicious transaction messages.
Unlike traditional tools that rely on live API calls during every query, this implementation for Openclaw Skills maintains a local SQLite database that synchronizes in the background. This ensures that users receive instant results (under 5ms) when verifying addresses for potential risks like rug pulls or Ponzi schemes. It is a critical utility for any developer or trader looking to integrate robust security checks into their automated workflows.
Crypto Scam Detector Use Cases
- Verifying destination addresses before sending ETH or tokens to prevent accidental transfers to phishing sites.
- Auditing smart contracts for honeypot characteristics or unverified code signatures.
- Scanning transaction history for references to known hacking groups like Lazarus or Orbit Bridge.
- Identifying social engineering attempts hidden within transaction hex data messages.
- Maintaining a local repository of high-risk addresses for automated wallet monitoring within Openclaw Skills.
How Crypto Scam Detector Works
- The user provides a cryptocurrency address to the skill via a command or chat interface.
- The system queries the local SQLite database for an immediate risk score and analysis report.
- If the address exists in the database, the user receives an instant report including risk levels (0-100) and specific scam indicators.
- If the address is unknown, it is automatically added to a priority sync queue for the background worker.
- The background sync worker fetches data from Etherscan, decodes transaction hex data, and analyzes keywords to update the database for future queries.
Crypto Scam Detector Setup
To get started with this skill for Openclaw Skills, follow these installation and configuration steps:
# Navigate to your skills directory
