👻 Phantom just announced Phantom Chat, a social feature scheduled for 2026.
But ZachXBT is sounding the alarm. Before adding social features, maybe we should start by fixing the fundamentals. According to him, this feature could become a new entry point for asset theft as long as the address poisoning problem is not resolved. Last week, a user reportedly lost 3.5 WBTC due to address poisoning. The characters were nearly identical, the user copied the wrong address from the history, and the funds were gone. According to ZachXBT, adding a chat without securing the UX just multiplies the attack surfaces.
