Web3 security company GoPlus Security has finally unveiled the Web3 browser extension that has been hyped up for quite some time. Currently supporting only Chrome and Edge, this tool has the stated goal of improving the safety of users in the decentralised world by providing instant threat identification and prevention of dangerous actions.

What the Extension Offers

The GoPlus Web3 extension brings a suite of advanced features, including:

• Real-Time Risk Detection: The users instantly get notified of fake websites, fake tokens, and all sorts of malicious activities.
• Smart Contract Scanning: They also monitor the safety of smart contracts but, at the same time, let the users interact only with approved sources.
• Transaction Analysis: It keeps the risk involved in every transaction in check, allowing the user to make a proper decision before authorising the transaction.

In simple terms, the extension augments normally used dApps and wallets by putting a more robust shield around crypto aficionados.

Why This Matters

With Web3’s increasing prevalence, so are the downsides of decentralised platforms. GoPlus’s extension seems to solve a much-needed gap in implementing user-centric solutions for Web3.

The representative of the GoPlus extension implied: “Our extension is aimed at becoming the individuals’ safety net for Web 3.0 context.”

How to Get It

It will be obtained in the Chrome web store and the Edge Add-ons store. The extension can be downloaded directly from the Chrome Web Store as well as the Edge Add-ons store. Signing up for it only takes a few minutes, meaning that it can be used by any Web3 beginner.

The Bigger Picture

This shift by GoPlus conforms well with a recent increased emphasis on improving user security within decentralised systems. As hacks and scams continue to increase, stand-alone security solutions are needed more than ever.

This launch is another step towards achieving Web3 safety and reliability—the key to the mainstream use of decentralised tools.
