Trust Wallet just handed its 220 million users a new security layer, integrating Intercepta’s real-time threat detection technology to flag risky transactions before they get signed.
The partnership is notable not just for its scale but for its timing. Trust Wallet suffered a browser extension breach in December 2025 that resulted in roughly $7 million in losses. Adding Intercepta’s screening is a direct response to the kind of threat that already cost its users real money.
What Intercepta actually does
Intercepta, which rebranded from its previous identity as Web3 Antivirus, operates as infrastructure-level security rather than a consumer-facing product. It plugs into wallets and platforms behind the scenes, running risk analysis on transactions before users ever hit “confirm.”
The company offers six core modules: threat detection, signing simulation, risk and compliance screening, automation rules, and continuous monitoring. It watches what’s happening onchain in real time, simulates what a transaction will actually do, checks it against known threats, and flags anything suspicious, all in under one second of processing time.
