Following community concerns about recent wallet blacklistings, WLFI has issued a statement clarifying their approach and reassuring users that normal activity will remain unaffected. The team recently blacklisted 272 wallets, representing a small percentage of total holders, to prevent potential user losses. Investigations are underway for affected individuals with assistance provided.
The reasons behind the blacklisting include:
– **Phishing attacks:** 79% of impacted wallets were related to phishing attempts (215 cases). WLFI intervened to secure funds and collaborate with legitimate owners to protect or transfer assets.
– **User-reported violations:** 18.4% involved users reporting violations, leading to blacklisting at their request for potential fund recovery protection.
– **High-risk exposure:** 1.8% were categorized as high-risk due to security concerns, and are under review by the team.
– **Allegations of misappropriation:** A single case (0.4%) involved suspected misappropriation of funds, with internal review underway.
WLFI emphasizes that these actions won’t impact normal trading activity and will act swiftly on alerts of malicious or high-risk behavior.
Further action includes continued collaboration with legitimate owners to verify fund security. Detailed results for each category will be published upon completion, along with any further public announcements regarding broaderholder impacts.
