On March 14, 2026, Binance CEO CZ urged blockchain explorers to filter spam transactions to mitigate Ethereum address poisoning risks. He noted that Trust Wallet already employs this method, and on-chain data indicates these attacks are becoming increasingly automated. CZ added that AI could assist in filtering spam without impacting microtransactions. Etherscan recently warned of rising threats from fake addresses. Traders are advised to remain vigilant regarding altcoins amid evolving security challenges.

ChainThink reports that on March 14, in response to the recent increase in Ethereum address poisoning attacks, CZ posted that block explorers should directly filter out such spam transactions rather than displaying them to users. He noted that these transactions can be easily and completely filtered out technically, and the wallet app Trust Wallet has already implemented a similar feature.


CZ also noted that while filtering out spam transactions may have some impact on micropayments between future AI agents, spam transaction detection and filtering can similarly be achieved through AI technology at that time.


Previously, the block explorer Etherscan warned that address poisoning attacks on Ethereum are becoming more automated and widespread, with attackers tricking users into sending funds to forged addresses that closely resemble legitimate ones.
