TxShield is a transaction simulator and risk detection tool designed to prevent failed transactions, gas waste, and honeypot scams by previewing potential risks before execution. Built for Polkadot using Next.js for the frontend, leveraging Node.js and the Polkadot.js API for backend transaction simulation and blockchain interactions. It uses custom WASM bytecode analysis for detecting risky contracts and integrates with wallets like Talisman and SubWallet to provide a seamless user experience. Targeting Polkadot’s rapidly growing ecosystem of 2+ million wallet users and aims to expand support across multiple parachains for broader coverage and safer transactions.

Hi @EmmanuelEklipse the PR correctly reflects a level 3 grant, but the application notes a level 2 grant. Can you update this on the application itself?

[EmmanuelEklipse]

@keeganquigley Thanks for pointing it out. I have corrected it

[keeganquigley]

Thanks @EmmanuelEklipse we usually only allow one grant application to be open at a time per grantee. Would you prefer to keep this one open and close #2563 since it hasn't garnered enough approvals?

[EmmanuelEklipse]

@keeganquigley Yes, please.
