Address Filters

Automatically block unapproved wallet addresses across ADA, EVM, and BTC chains.

SecurityBot actively scans messages for cryptocurrency wallet addresses and deletes any that are not explicitly allowed. This helps prevent common scam tactics such as fake giveaways or phishing attacks using wallet addresses.

Supported blockchains:

• Cardano (ADA)

• Ethereum-compatible chains (EVM)

• Bitcoin (BTC)

How It Works

When address filters are enabled, any message containing an unapproved address will be automatically removed. These filters are on by default and apply server-wide unless exemptions are configured.

Customize Address Filters

You can enable or disable address filters per chain using:

/settings block_addresses

Select from:

• Block Cardano Addresses

• Block Bitcoin Addresses

• Block EVM Addresses

Use this command to toggle filters on or off as needed. You can also view the whitelist size to see how many addresses are currently approved.

To whitelist a trusted address:

/allow_address [address]

To remove an address from the allowlist:

/remove_address [address]

To view your current allowed addresses:

/view_all [Allowed Addresses]

Best Practices

• Only whitelist wallets you trust 100%

• Periodically audit your whitelist using /view_all [Allowed Addresses]

• Remove outdated or compromised addresses using /remove_address [address]

• Combine address filtering with chat alerts and log channels to catch patterns quickly
