Oxint
Oxint restricts malicious wallets by aggregating and sharing threat intelligence data both online and on-chain, targeting scammers, malware distributors, and state-sponsored hacking groups.
Project Description
Oxint leverages social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), to scrape and analyze threat intelligence data on malicious blockchain addresses. This information is shared on-chain, empowering decentralized applications (dApps) to conduct background checks on wallet addresses before executing transactions.
Our approach ensures that wallets are flagged only after malicious activity is confirmed, avoiding preemptive assumptions. Oxint is not a firewall; rather, it serves as a framework to promote trust and security by facilitating operations with reputable wallets within an open network.
How it's Made
The bedrock infrastructure relies on multiple smart contracts deployed on-chain across various Ethereum Layer 2 networks and, of course, the Layer 1 mainnet. These smart contracts function as list of addresses flagged as malicious or malevolent.
Meanwhile, an automated off-chain script orchestrates the scraping of a consortium of threat intelligence accounts on X (formerly Twitter). This automation alerts and flags scammers, drainers, and other malicious actors, with the flagged status remaining until proven innocent.
