The rise of cryptocurrencies has helped to decentralize currency and help users maintain more control over their funds but has several potential security issues that can develop, so new solutions like 'Trustroot' are being developed to prevent them from becoming a problem.
The solution works as a browser extension that will automatically scan the page you're viewing and providing users with information pertaining to whether or not the business can be trusted to do business with. This helps to decrease the occurrence of fraud and theft when making cryptocurrency transactions to keep users feeling confident about the purchases or transfers they make.
'Trustroot' works with a simple symbol system to help users quickly identify if they are good to go or need to exercise more caution.
