RPC Firewall
Protect yourself from accidentally transferring your crypto assets
Instructions
MetaMask Instructions
- Select Settings > Networks > Add Network
- Fill in the boxes with the following:
- Network Name
- KK779 ETH Firewall
- New RPC URL
- https://rpc.kk779.io
- Chain ID
- 1
- Currency Symbol
- ETH
- Block Explorer URL (Optional)
- https://etherscan.io
- Switch to the firewall network. Only switch back to mainnet when you need to give a site you trust the ability to transfer.
That's it! When a transaction gets blocked, it will look like an error but if you mouse-over the error, you will see it was blocked by the firewall.

Instructions for Other Wallet
The rpc url should work with any other wallet but the firewall is designed specifically for hot wallets holding ERC-721 NFTs. Any other type such as cold wallets will just introduce unnecessary friction in usability which actually lowers security.
The instructions for other wallets should be fairly similar to MetaMask instructions.
If you have published instructions for other wallets, please let me know so I can review and link to it if you wish.

May or may not be implemented completely dependent on my willpower. Feel free to use any of the ideas to implement your own firewall.
