To ensure StealthMist remains a safe place, our Blockchain intelligence team prevents reporting of spam, reviews every report against spam, and attributes a confidence score to every report.

1/ Spam prevention

StealthMist maintains a 'SAFELIST' of blockchain addresses and URLs that users may confuse with scams but are not scams and cannot be reported as such.

2/ Spam detection

StealthMist Blockchain intelligence team reviews reports against spam to ensure our platform remains a safe place for every user. Spam is removed. Users deliberately trying to post spam are banned.

3/ Confidence score

When verifying reports, StealthMist Blockchain intelligence team attributes a confidence score to every report. This score can be leveraged as a filter or simply retrieved when using our API.

’Trusted Contributor’ Badge/score

The blue ‘Trusted Contributor’ badge means that this report was filed by a pre-vetted partner from the Web3 Security Network, who can attest to the information provided on the report.

’Checked Report’ Badge/score

The green ‘Checked by StealthMist’ badge indicates that our team of moderators, including blockchain intelligence experts specializing in identifying crypto crime, checked the report, using specific criteria based on the type of scam and the blockchain and have enough evidence (including evidence which is not shared publicly for security reasons) to believe it is accurate.
