Consensys, the Ethereum-focused software company behind MetaMask, has acquired Wallet Guard, a provider of browser extension security and digital asset protection.
This comes amidst increasing concerns over cybersecurity and aims to bolster MetaMask‘s security capabilities by enhancing scam and drainer detection through transaction validation and client-side heuristics, offering users real-time protection against malicious dApps and scams.
The acquisition aligns with Consensys’ strategic growth, following earlier acquisitions of Special Mechanisms Group (SMG), HAL, and MyCrypto.
