The correct way to ensure on-chain security is definitely not waiting until users suffer total losses before taking action.

A true defense system should be proactive, identifying risk factors before transaction execution, rather than issuing alerts only after the fact. This is the fundamental difference between active security and passive response—Firewall-type protection mechanisms are precisely about upstream interception, eliminating threats such as malicious transactions, contract risks, and slippage traps before they cause real damage.

Imagine your wallet as a bank account; proactive protection is like having a security guard with an anti-theft system, while passive protection is like calling the police only after a robbery has occurred. For on-chain interactions, the former is obviously more trustworthy.

Really, proactive protection is the only reliable approach. Otherwise, it's useless to regret after suffering a huge loss.

This guy's summary is spot on. Passive protection is like a post-event armchair strategist. You've already suffered heavy losses and you're still blowing the alarm.

It should have been like this earlier. The coins I lost were because I didn't set up protection and just went in blindly. Now I can't get them back for free.

Wait, the idea of front-end protection sounds good, but how many projects can actually implement it? Most of them only rush to fix issues after something goes wrong.

It should have been done this way a long time ago. How many people have been crying after being scammed by honeypots?

nah actually... the whole "firewall before execution" thing sounds good in theory but statistically speaking, most retail still gets rekt because they're not even checking the contract audit in the first place. reminds me of UST in May—everyone had the tools, nobody used them. not financial advice but the real problem isn't the mechanism, it's the user being lazy tbh

Really, the point about proactive protection is correct. There are too many on-chain scammers now. It's too late to cry and regret after losing money.

It should have been like this a long time ago. How many people have been rug-pulled before they learned to take proactive protection?

Someone should have said this a long time ago, really. A bunch of projects are still trying to fix things after the fact, and users have already gone bankrupt.
