Trust Wallet has launched a new security feature that automatically detects and blocks address poisoning scams to protect users during crypto transactions.

Trust Wallet announces the launch of Address Poisoning Protection on March 10, 2026, to combat the rapidly growing threat of lookalike wallet scams. The feature is currently live on mobile for 32 Ethereum Virtual Machine ( EVM) chains, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon.

This automated system checks destination addresses against the Intel Security API in real time to identify over 225 million detected poisoning attacks. By providing side-by-side address comparisons, the tool aims to safeguard the more than $500 million confirmed stolen by attackers through these deceptive transaction histories.
