About PathGuard
PathGuard performs pre-send safety checks on cryptocurrency transactions to prevent irreversible losses. It validates address formats, matches against a live-updated blacklist of scam destinations, detects clipboard hijack patterns, and flags precision mistakes like extra zeros in amounts. The tool operates through a Telegram bot for individual users and offers an API for wallet platforms to integrate directly into their send flows. Both versions use the same scanning engine without requiring wallet access. Users can save trusted addresses and review scan history, while developers can implement per-user address books and rate-limited API authentication. The service emphasizes transparency and privacy in its operations.
