CZ Calls on Blockchain Explorers to Hide Spam Transactions to Curb Address Poisoning Risks

CZ said on X on March 14 that blockchain explorers should filter out spam transactions to reduce the likelihood of address poisoning attacks, PANews reports. He noted these spam transfers can be fully removed at the technical level, adding that some wallet services such as Trust Wallet already exclude such activity from their interfaces. CZ added the filtering approach could slightly affect future micropayments between AI agents, but suggested AI tools could also be used to detect and screen spam transactions. Etherscan earlier cautioned that address poisoning attacks on Ethereum are becoming more automated and widespread, with attackers luring users into sending funds to counterfeit addresses that resemble legitimate ones.
