Description
PhishGuard
The World’s Fastest Anti-Phishing Layer
1. The Threat
Phishing is the #1 cause of crypto asset loss
Over $11M stolen from Bittensor users in 2024 alone
Phishing links spread via:
X (Twitter), Telegram, Discord
Email & fake Web3 front-ends
Attacks evolve hourly, not weekly
Users click before warnings appear
2. The Gap
Centralized blocklists are “too little, too late”
Rely on:
Manual reports
Delayed moderation
Single-point-of-failure infrastructure
Average response time: minutes → hours
Zero-day phishing links cause damage in seconds
Result: By the time a URL is flagged, funds are already gone.
3. The Solution
PhishGuard: Decentralized, AI-Driven, Real-Time
A Bittensor subnet for phishing detection
Scans URLs before users interact
Detects threats using:
Vision AI (UI spoofing)
Behavioral analysis (wallet-draining flows)
Outputs a real-time phishing risk score
4. Subnet Flywheel
The PhishGuard Network Effect
More miners join the subnet
Faster & broader phishing discovery
Better protection for users & apps
Higher usage → more subnet rewards
Increased demand for $TAO
Flywheel Outcome: Security quality compounds with network growth.
5. The Technology
