AutistMask includes several defenses against common Ethereum scams, all enabled
by default:
**Known token symbol verification.** AutistMask ships a list of roughly 500
legitimate ERC-20 tokens with their contract addresses. If a transaction or
balance claims to involve a known symbol (like "ETH" or "USDT") but comes from
an unrecognized contract, it is identified as a spoof and hidden. In your
transaction history this is the "Hide fake tokens impersonating a known symbol"
setting, which you can switch off; doing so also stops new entries being added
to the fraud contract blocklist below, since detecting a spoof is what fills it.
The send token list always applies the check. Your balances apply it too, with
one exception: a token claiming the symbol "ETH" is not filtered there, so a
fake "ETH" token can still show up in your balance list even though it is hidden
from your transaction history and from the send token list.
**Known token symbol verification.** AutistMask ships a bundled list of
high-market-cap ERC-20 tokens with their legitimate contract addresses — a
point-in-time snapshot of the highest-market-cap Ethereum mainnet ERC-20s, fixed
at build time and updated only when a new release ships a newer snapshot. If a
transaction or balance claims to involve a known symbol (like "ETH" or "USDT")
but comes from an unrecognized contract, it is identified as a spoof and hidden.

**Low-holder token filtering.** Tokens with fewer than 1,000 holders are hidden
from transaction history and the send token list, and are left out of your
