CZ Calls on Block Explorers to Hide Spam Transactions Amid Ethereum Address Poisoning Surge

CZ said on March 14 that block explorers should filter out spam transactions tied to rising Ethereum address poisoning attacks rather than display them to users, ChainThink reported. He noted these transactions can be fully excluded at the technical level, adding that Trust Wallet has already implemented a similar feature. CZ also said removing spam transactions could affect future micropayments between AI agents, but argued AI tools could likewise detect and filter such spam. Earlier, Etherscan warned that Ethereum address poisoning attacks are becoming more automated and widespread, with attackers luring users into sending funds to fake addresses that closely resemble legitimate ones.
