Web3 Antivirus Heads to Proof of Talk 2025 to Show Off Real-Time Scam Protection

With crypto scams getting sneakier by the day, one Web3 security startup is stepping up to show how we can stop threats before users get wrecked. Web3 Antivirus is heading to Proof of Talk 2025 in Paris this June to show exactly how it’s flipping the script on scam detection — moving from “too late” alerts to proactive, real-time protection.

Stopping scams before they even start

At the Musée des Arts Décoratifs on June 10–11, Web3 Antivirus will showcase tools designed to flag suspicious activity before a transaction is ever signed. Their system is already used by wallets, exchanges, and compliance teams — and now they’re bringing it to a bigger stage.

Their tech looks at the entire Web3 stack — from tokens to transactions to wallet activity — and identifies threats like:

• Phishing links
• Fake or lookalike tokens
• Address poisoning
• Wallets linked to sanctions or previous exploits

And it does all of this in real time.

What they’ll be demoing in Paris

At the conference, Web3 Antivirus will walk attendees through its live dashboard — showing exactly how scams spread, what common security tools miss, and how platforms can catch issues before it’s too late.

Key features they’ll show off include:

• Wallet reputation scoring (to spot shady links to mixers or previous exploits)
• Address poisoning detection, even for sneaky lookalikes
• Transaction simulations, revealing hidden risks like bad pricing or malicious contract behavior
• On-chain monitoring to keep up with anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and spot wallets linked to fraud or KYC-evasion tricks

Basically, it’s about giving users and platforms a warning before they sign something they’ll regret.

“People deserve to know what they’re signing”

That’s how Alex Dulub, founder of Web3 Antivirus, puts it. He’ll be speaking on stage at the event, joining discussions about security, trust, and how Web3 can protect people before damage is done.

“Our goal is to detect risks the moment they show up,” he said, “not hours or days later when the damage is already done.”

Built for today’s smart wallets and tomorrow’s apps

The Web3 Antivirus engine runs 24/7, scanning blockchain activity to uncover scams — whether it’s a phishing site pretending to be a DeFi app, a fake MEV bot contract, or an address tied to stolen funds.

And it’s not just surface-level scanning. The system works with modern wallet standards like EIP-712, EIP-4337, and EIP-7702, meaning it can support smart wallets and next-gen dApps right out of the box.

Why this matters now

With over 3,000 builders, investors, and Web3 leaders expected at Proof of Talk, there’s a clear message emerging: security needs to catch up with the pace of innovation. The old way of sending alerts after the fact? It just doesn’t cut it anymore.

As projects look to scale, earn trust, and meet tougher compliance expectations, real-time threat detection is becoming a must — not a nice-to-have.

About Web3 Antivirus

Web3 Antivirus started as a free browser extension built to warn users before they fell into common crypto traps — like fake token approvals or phishing sites. Since then, it’s grown into a full security suite with APIs and analytics tools for wallets, exchanges, NFT platforms, and startups.

They help companies protect users from scams, stop address poisoning, and stay compliant with AML rules — all in real time.

And at Proof of Talk 2025, they’re ready to show the rest of the Web3 world what that looks like in action.
