Summary
Scammers are sending users random tokens, which can appear in wallet token lists and lead to confusion or potential scams (e.g., malicious airdrops, fake tokens, etc.). This issue proposes an investigation into how we can better curate or support the tokens displayed in a user's token list in the GoodWallet application.
Background
- Users have reported seeing random tokens in their wallet list, often due to on-chain airdrops from scammers.
- These can have fake value and clutter or mislead the wallet’s display.
- There are risks associated with malicious tokens, including potential loss if users interact with such tokens.
Investigation goals
- Analyze current mechanisms GoodWallet uses for discovering and displaying tokens in a user's wallet.
- Survey approaches (filtering, allowlists, hidden list management, metadata sources, blocklists, etc.) from other leading wallets and block explorers.
- Identify how valid and scam tokens can be better separated, flagged, or filtered.
- Explore UI/UX improvements to warn or hide suspicious tokens, or explain their presence to users.
- Recommend actionable changes (in back-end logic, UI, or support materials).
Acceptance Criteria
- Report outlining token discovery/display flaws and risks
- List of recommended solutions or mitigations
- Optional: rough implementation plan or scope definition for next steps
