- Blocklist attribution: the cited AugurProject/eth-phishing-detect repository no longer exists (GitHub returns 404), and the vendored list and the runtime refresh both come from the live upstream that BLOCKLIST_URL points at. The dead link is dropped, the project, copyright and license are kept, and a note records why no repository link is given. - Token display: balances.js shows any ERC-20 with a nonzero balance that is in the bundled top-250 list, tracked, or has 1,000+ holders, so tokens do appear without the user adding them. The Data Model section now states that rule, including that it is unconditional while the 1,000-holder setting applies only to transaction history and the send selector. The manual-only claims elsewhere are corrected to match. - Navigation: replaced the flat/no-tabs paragraph with the stack model the Screen Map documents, naming the AddWallet import tabs and the AddressDetail overflow menu.

# AutistMask
|
|
|
|
AutistMask is a GPL-licensed JavaScript browser extension by
|
|
[@sneak](https://sneak.berlin) that provides a minimal Ethereum wallet for
|
|
Chrome and Firefox. It manages HD wallets derived from BIP-39 seed phrases and
|
|
supports sending and receiving ETH and ERC-20 tokens, as well as web3 site
|
|
connection and authentication via the EIP-1193 provider API.
|
|
|
|
The most popular browser-based EVM wallet has a cute mascot, but sucks now. It
|
|
has tracking, ads, preferred placement for swaps, tx broadcast fuckery,
|
|
intercepts tx status links to their own site instead of going to Etherscan, etc.
|
|
None of the common alternatives work on Firefox.
|
|
|
|
Hence, a minimally viable ERC20 browser wallet/signer that works cross-platform.
|
|
Everything you need, nothing you don't. We import as few libraries as possible,
|
|
don't implement any crypto, and don't send user-specific data anywhere but a
|
|
(user-configurable) Ethereum RPC endpoint (which defaults to a public node). The
|
|
extension contacts three user-configurable services: the configured RPC node for
|
|
blockchain interactions, a public CoinDesk API (no API key) for realtime price
|
|
information, and a Blockscout block-explorer API for transaction history and
|
|
token balances. It also fetches a community-maintained phishing domain blocklist
|
|
periodically and performs best-effort Etherscan address label lookups during
|
|
transaction confirmation.
|
|
|
|
In the extension is a hardcoded list of the top ERC20 contract addresses. You
|
|
can add any ERC20 contract by contract address if you wish, but the hardcoded
|
|
list exists to detect symbol spoofing attacks and improve UX.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/autistmask.git
|
|
cd autistmask
|
|
make install
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Load the extension:
|
|
|
|
- **Chrome**: Navigate to `chrome://extensions/`, enable "Developer mode", click
|
|
"Load unpacked", and select the `dist/chrome/` directory.
|
|
- **Firefox**: Navigate to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox`, click "Load
|
|
Temporary Add-on", and select `dist/firefox/manifest.json`.
|
|
|
|
### Debug Builds
|
|
|
|
`make build` always produces a release build: the build-time `DEBUG` constant is
|
|
`false`, so wallet creation uses real entropy and the red banner is off. To
|
|
produce a debug build instead, set `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1` in the environment:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make build-debug # or: AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1 make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only the exact value `1` enables it; any other value (including unset, empty, or
|
|
`true`) yields a release build, so a typo cannot accidentally ship the debug
|
|
behavior. The build prints which mode it used. See the
|
|
[DEBUG Mode Policy](#debug-mode-policy) for what the flag changes. **Never
|
|
distribute a debug build** — every wallet it creates gets the same publicly
|
|
known test recovery phrase.
|
|
|
|
Both builds end by running `script/verify-build`, which reads the compiled
|
|
`DEBUG` state back out of the emitted bundles and fails the build if it is not
|
|
the one that was asked for. The test suite cannot check this: it loads
|
|
`src/shared/constants.js` outside a bundle, so it only ever sees the fallback
|
|
value. The assertion is on the artifacts because that is where the property
|
|
lives.
|
|
|
|
## Entrypoints
|
|
|
|
This repository adheres to the
|
|
[Scripts to Rule Them All](https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all)
|
|
standard: normalized scripts in `script/` are the entrypoints for the
|
|
development workflow, and the Makefile targets are thin shims that call them. We
|
|
provide:
|
|
|
|
- `script/bootstrap` — install all dependencies (pinned node via nvm if needed,
|
|
yarn via corepack, `yarn install --frozen-lockfile`)
|
|
- `script/setup` — make a fresh clone ready for development: bootstrap plus the
|
|
git pre-commit hook
|
|
- `script/projectname` — print the project name (used for the Docker image tag)
|
|
- `script/test` — run the test suite (jest)
|
|
- `script/test-e2e` — run the browser end-to-end suite (docker required; see
|
|
[End-to-End Tests](#end-to-end-tests))
|
|
- `script/lint` — run the linter
|
|
- `script/fmt` — format all files (writes)
|
|
- `script/fmt-check` — check formatting (read-only)
|
|
- `script/check` — run test, lint, and fmt-check
|
|
- `script/verify-build` — assert the compiled `DEBUG` state of the bundles in
|
|
`dist/`: every bundle containing `src/shared/constants.js` must have `DEBUG`
|
|
off, or on when `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1`. Run automatically at the end of
|
|
`make build` and `make build-debug`; fails loudly rather than passing if it
|
|
cannot determine a bundle's state. Not part of `make check`, which does not
|
|
depend on build artifacts existing.
|
|
- `script/docker` — build the Docker image tagged via `script/projectname`
|
|
- `script/cibuild` — CI entrypoint: plain `docker build .`
|
|
- `script/precommit` — run by the git pre-commit hook; runs `script/check`
|
|
- `script/install-precommit` — install the git pre-commit hook
|
|
|
|
## End-to-End Tests
|
|
|
|
`make test-e2e` builds `dist/chrome/` and drives the **real popup in a real
|
|
Chrome**, loaded as an unpacked MV3 extension inside a pinned
|
|
`mcr.microsoft.com/playwright` container (pinned by digest in `script/test-e2e`;
|
|
docker is required and the suite fails loudly rather than skipping if it is
|
|
unavailable). The suite lives in `tests/e2e/` and is driven by
|
|
`playwright-core`, whose version must stay matched to the container's Playwright
|
|
version — the browsers ship inside the image.
|
|
|
|
It covers popup load, wallet creation through the UI, the Add Token screen and
|
|
the transaction detail screen for an ERC-20 transfer. All outbound network is
|
|
intercepted at the browser level and served from fixtures in
|
|
`tests/e2e/network.js`, so the run is deterministic and fully offline;
|
|
unrecognised outbound requests are reported as failures rather than silently
|
|
allowed.
|
|
|
|
That reporting has one bound worth knowing. Observation ends when the browser
|
|
context is torn down, and nothing can watch traffic after that, so the run keeps
|
|
collecting for a fixed grace period after the last test returns
|
|
(`TRAILING_WATCH_MS` in `tests/e2e/run.js`, currently 1500ms) and then closes
|
|
the context. A request whose _first_ dispatch falls after that window is never
|
|
seen at all and cannot fail the run. In practice a request a test fires without
|
|
awaiting reaches the route handler about 10ms later, and anything on a repeating
|
|
timer gets observed on an earlier tick during the ~20s suite — but a one-shot
|
|
call deliberately deferred past the window will escape.
|
|
|
|
That interception covers the MV3 background service worker as well as the popup
|
|
page, which it does not by default — `script/test-e2e` sets
|
|
`PW_EXPERIMENTAL_SERVICE_WORKER_NETWORK_EVENTS=1` for it. Because that flag is
|
|
experimental, the harness does not take it on trust. At launch it waits for the
|
|
background worker's **own** startup request — the phishing blocklist fetch that
|
|
`src/background/index.js` issues unconditionally — to arrive in the route
|
|
handler, and aborts the entire suite if none does within 30 seconds
|
|
(`tests/e2e/harness.js`). The check is passive on purpose: a synthetic probe
|
|
fetched from inside the worker via `worker.evaluate()` was tried first and
|
|
rejected, because evaluating in an extension service worker that early kills the
|
|
worker outright, destroying the thing being measured. Observing traffic the
|
|
extension already generates perturbs nothing. Losing the race fails closed — the
|
|
suite refuses to run rather than passing quietly.
|
|
|
|
As defence in depth, Chrome is also started with
|
|
`--host-resolver-rules=MAP * ~NOTFOUND`, so a request that ever did slip past
|
|
the route handler could not resolve a host at all. That only bounds the damage;
|
|
detecting escaping traffic remains the canary's job. To see what is actually
|
|
being intercepted, run with `E2E_TRACE_NETWORK=1` and every routed request is
|
|
printed, tagged `[sw]` or `[page]`.
|
|
|
|
**Any uncaught page error or `console.error` fails the run.** That is the point:
|
|
a `ReferenceError` from a used-but-not-imported identifier is invisible to
|
|
`make check` (`script/lint` is only `prettier --check`) but fatal in a browser,
|
|
and this suite exists because exactly that class of bug shipped twice.
|
|
|
|
`make test-e2e` is deliberately **not** part of `make check` or `make test`.
|
|
`REPO_POLICIES.md` caps `make test` at 20 seconds and a browser suite does not
|
|
fit; nothing in `tests/e2e/` is named `*.test.js`, so jest cannot pick it up
|
|
either. It is also not wired into the Gitea workflow yet — docker-in-docker in
|
|
CI is a separate question. Run it locally before changing anything under
|
|
`src/popup/views/`.
|
|
|
|
## Rationale
|
|
|
|
Common popular EVM wallets have become bloated with swap UIs, portfolio
|
|
dashboards, analytics, tracking, and advertisements. It is no longer a simple
|
|
wallet. Most alternatives only support Chromium browsers, leaving Firefox users
|
|
without a usable option.
|
|
|
|
AutistMask exists to provide the absolute minimum viable Ethereum wallet
|
|
experience: manage seed phrases, derive HD addresses, send and receive ETH and
|
|
ERC-20 tokens, and connect to web3 sites. Nothing else. No swaps (that's what
|
|
the web is for), no analytics, no tracking, no ads, no portfolio views, no NFT
|
|
galleries. Just a wallet.
|
|
|
|
## Design
|
|
|
|
AutistMask is a browser extension targeting both Chrome (Manifest V3) and
|
|
Firefox (Manifest V2/V3 as supported). The codebase is shared between both
|
|
targets with platform-specific manifest files and a build step that produces
|
|
separate output directories.
|
|
|
|
### Architecture

|
|
inpage.js — the window.ethereum provider object (EIP-1193)
|
|

|
|
index.html
|
|
index.js — entry point, view routing, state restore
|
|

|
|
constants.js — chain IDs, default RPC endpoint, ERC-20 ABI
|
|

|
|
prices.js — ETH/USD and token/USD via CoinDesk API
|
|
scamlist.js — known fraud contract addresses
|
|

|
|
tokenList.js — top ERC-20 tokens by market cap (hardcoded)
|
|
transactions.js — tx history fetching + anti-poisoning filters
|
|
uniswap.js — Uniswap Universal Router calldata decoder
|
|
vault.js — password-based encryption via libsodium

|
firefox.json — Manifest V2 for Firefox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### UI Design Philosophy
|
|
|
|
The UI is inspired by _Universal Paperclips_. It's deliberately minimal,
|
|
monochrome, fast, and includes once-popular usability affordances that seem to
|
|
have fallen out of fashion in modern UI design. Clickable things look clickable.
|
|
Things don't flash or spin or move around unnecessarily. This is a tool for
|
|
getting work done, not a toy.
|
|
|
|
This is designed for a normal audience. Basic familiarity with cryptocurrency
|
|
terms is required, but you need not be a programmer or software engineer to use
|
|
this wallet.
|
|
|
|
If you _are_ basically familiar with cryptocurrency terms, you should be able to
|
|
use all of the main features of this wallet without having to read the
|
|
documentation; i.e. we wish for the primary functionality to remain easily
|
|
discoverable.
|
|
|
|
#### Visual Style
|
|
|
|
- **Monochrome**: Black text on white background. Color is only used when and
|
|
where it is semantically meaningful and explicitly useful, such as error
|
|
messages, critical warnings, or address disambiguation. (Notable exception: we
|
|
use color dots, and identicons, to help a user easily distinguish addresses.)
|
|
- **Text-first**: Every piece of information is presented as text. Balances are
|
|
numbers. Addresses are hex strings. Flash messages are sentences. All fiddly
|
|
bits can be clicked to copy to the clipboard, and external links to Etherscan
|
|
are provided everywhere they might be useful.
|
|
- **Monospace font**: All text is rendered in the system monospace font.
|
|
Ethereum addresses, transaction hashes, and balances are inherently
|
|
fixed-width data. Rather than mixing proportional and monospace fonts, we use
|
|
monospace everywhere for visual consistency and alignment.
|
|
- **No images**: Zero image assets in the entire extension. No logos, no
|
|
illustrations, no token icons. Token identity is conveyed by symbol text (ETH,
|
|
USDC, etc.). We display
|
|
[Blockie identicons](https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/ethereum-blockies-base64)
|
|
on critical screens and when space is available to allow users to disambiguate
|
|
addresses visually, as a security feature.
|
|
- **Tailwind CSS**: Utility-first CSS via Tailwind. No custom CSS classes for
|
|
styling. Tailwind is configured with a minimal monochrome palette. This keeps
|
|
the styling co-located with the markup and eliminates CSS file management.
|
|
- **Vanilla JS**: No framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.). The popup UI is small
|
|
enough that vanilla JS with simple view switching is sufficient. A framework
|
|
would add bundle size, build complexity, and attack surface for no benefit at
|
|
this scale.
|
|
- **360x600 popup**: Standard browser extension popup dimensions. The UI is
|
|
designed for this fixed viewport.
|
|
|
|
#### No Layout Shift
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous state changes (clipboard confirmation, transaction status, error
|
|
messages, flash notifications, API results returning) must _never_ move around
|
|
the existing UI elements. All dynamic content areas must reserve their space up
|
|
front using `min-height` or always-present wrapper elements.
|
|
`visibility: hidden` is preferred over `display: none` when the element's space
|
|
must be preserved. This prevents jarring content jumps that disorient users and
|
|
can cause dangerous mis-clicks. Anyone who has multi-tabled on ClubGG and
|
|
smashed the big red "all-in blind preflop" button when trying to simply "call"
|
|
on a different table knows exactly tf I am talking about.
|
|
|
|
#### Clickable Affordance
|
|
|
|
Every interactive element must visually indicate that it is clickable. Buttons
|
|
use a visible border, padding, and a hover state (invert to white-on-black).
|
|
Text that triggers an action (e.g. "Add additional wallet...") uses an
|
|
underline. No invisible hit targets, no bare text that happens to have a click
|
|
handler. If it does something when you click it, it must look like it does
|
|
something when you click it.
|
|
|
|
#### Display Consistency
|
|
|
|
The same data must be formatted identically everywhere it appears. Token and ETH
|
|
amounts are displayed with exactly 4 decimal places (e.g. "1.0500 ETH", "17.1900
|
|
USDT") in balance lists, transaction lists, send confirmations, and approval
|
|
screens. Timestamps include both an ISO datetime and a humanized relative age
|
|
wherever shown. If a formatting rule applies in one place, it applies in every
|
|
place. Users should never see the same value rendered differently on two
|
|
screens.
|
|
|
|
**Specific Exception — Truncation:** On some non-critical display locations, we
|
|
may truncate _a small number_ of characters from the middle of an address solely
|
|
due to display size constraints. Wherever possible, and, notably, **in all
|
|
critical contexts (transaction confirmation view before signing, transaction
|
|
history detail view) addresses will _NEVER_ be truncated**. Even in places we
|
|
truncate addresses, we truncate only a maximum of 10 characters, which means
|
|
that the portions still displayed will be more than adequate for the user to
|
|
verify addresses even in the case of address spoofing attacks. Clicking an
|
|
address will always copy the full, untruncated value.
|
|
|
|
**Specific Exception — Transaction Detail view:** The transaction detail screen
|
|
is the authoritative record of a specific transaction and shows the exact,
|
|
untruncated amount with all meaningful decimal places (e.g. "0.00498824598498216
|
|
ETH"). It also shows the native quantity (e.g. "4988245984982160 wei") below it.
|
|
Both are click-copyable. Truncating to 4 decimals in summary views is acceptable
|
|
for scannability, but the detail view must never discard precision — it is the
|
|
one place the user can always use to verify exact details.
|
|
|
|
#### Language & Labeling
|
|
|
|
All user-facing text avoids unnecessary jargon wherever possible:
|
|
|
|
- "Recovery phrase" instead of "seed phrase", "mnemonic", or "BIP-39 mnemonic"
|
|
- "Address" instead of "account", "derived key", or "HD child"
|
|
- "Password" instead of "encryption key" or "vault passphrase"
|
|
- Buttons use plain verbs: "Send", "Receive", "Copy address", "Add", "Back",
|
|
"Cancel", "Lock", "Unlock", "Allow", "Deny"
|
|
- Helpful inline descriptions where needed (e.g. "This password locks the wallet
|
|
on this device. It is not the same as your recovery phrase.")
|
|
- Error messages are full sentences ("Please enter your password." not "password
|
|
required")
|
|
|
|
#### Full Identifiers Policy
|
|
|
|
Addresses, transaction hashes, contract addresses, and all other cryptographic
|
|
identifiers are displayed in full whenever possible. We truncate only in
|
|
specific, limited, non-critical places and even then only a small amount that
|
|
still prevents spoofing attacks. Address poisoning attacks exploit truncated
|
|
displays by generating fraud addresses that share the same prefix and suffix as
|
|
a legitimate address. If a user only sees `0xAbCd...1234`, an attacker can
|
|
create an address with the same visible characters and trick the user into
|
|
sending funds to it. Showing the complete identifier defeats this class of
|
|
attack.
|
|
|
|
#### Data Model
|
|
|
|
The core hierarchy is **Wallets → Addresses**:
|
|
|
|
- A **wallet** is one of three types:
|
|
- An **HD wallet** (`type: "hd"`, recovery phrase): generates multiple
|
|
addresses from a single 12/24 word recovery phrase using BIP-39/BIP-44
|
|
derivation. The user can add more addresses with a "+" button.
|
|
- A **key wallet** (`type: "key"`, private key): a single address imported
|
|
directly from a private key. No "+" button since there is only one
|
|
address.
|
|
- An **xprv wallet** (`type: "xprv"`, extended private key): the same
|
|
multi-address behavior as an HD wallet, including the "+" button and the
|
|
address scan on import, but imported from an extended private key rather
|
|
than a recovery phrase. It therefore has no recovery phrase to display or
|
|
back up.
|
|
- An **address** holds ETH and ERC-20 tokens.
|
|
- The user can have multiple wallets, each with multiple addresses (HD) or a
|
|
single address (key).
|
|
|
|
Which tokens an address shows is decided by `fetchTokenBalances()` in
|
|
`src/shared/balances.js`, from the Blockscout `token-balances` response, so
|
|
tokens do appear without the user adding them. An ERC-20 is shown when its
|
|
balance is nonzero and it is in the bundled top-250 token list, is tracked by
|
|
the user, or has 1,000 or more holders; a token claiming a symbol from the
|
|
bundled list from any other contract address is always dropped. That filter is
|
|
unconditional — the "Hide tokens with fewer than 1,000 holders" setting governs
|
|
the transaction history and the send-screen token selector, not this list.
|
|
Tracked tokens with a zero balance are listed as well while "Show tracked tokens
|
|
with zero balance" is on.
|
|
|
|
#### Navigation
|
|
|
|
The main view shows all addresses grouped by wallet, with ETH balances inline.
|
|
The user taps an address to see its detail view (full address, balance, tokens,
|
|
send/receive). Navigation is a stack: each forward action pushes the current
|
|
screen, and every view has a "Back" or "Cancel" button that pops back to it (see
|
|
the Screen Map below). There is no hamburger menu and no persistent tab bar; the
|
|
Settings gear in the title bar is the only global control. Two screens carry an
|
|
in-screen control beyond that: AddWallet uses three tabs to select the import
|
|
mode, and AddressDetail keeps its one rarely-used action ("Export Private Key")
|
|
behind a "···" menu.
|
|
|
|
### Screen Map
|
|
|
|
Navigation uses a stack model (like iOS): each forward action pushes the current
|
|
screen onto `state.viewStack`, and "Back" pops it (`pushCurrentView()` and
|
|
`goBack()` in `src/popup/views/helpers.js`). The root screen is either Welcome
|
|
(no wallets) or Home (has wallets). Each screen below gives its view id in
|
|
parentheses; the registry of view ids is the `VIEWS` array in
|
|
`src/popup/views/helpers.js`, and the markup for a screen is the element with id
|
|
`view-` plus that view id in `src/popup/index.html`.
|
|
|
|
Three elements sit outside the screens and are present on all of them: the title
|
|
bar ("AutistMask by @sneak" plus the Settings gear), the flash message line
|
|
under it, and the red banner at the very top that appears on a debug build, when
|
|
runtime debug mode is on, or when the active network is a testnet. They are not
|
|
repeated in the element lists below.
|
|
|
|
Closing and reopening the popup returns to the screen the user was last on only
|
|
for the views listed in `RESTORABLE_VIEWS` (`src/popup/index.js`). Every other
|
|
screen, including ExportPrivKey, falls back to Home.
|
|
|
|
#### Welcome (`welcome`)
|
|
|
|
- **When**: No wallets exist yet (`state.hasWallet` is false). This is the root
|
|
screen in that case.
|
|
- **Elements**:
|
|
- "Welcome! To get started, add a wallet." text
|
|
- "Add wallet" button
|
|
- **Transitions**:
|
|
- "Add wallet" → **AddWallet**
|
|
|
|
#### Home (`main`)
|
|
|
|
- **When**: At least one wallet exists. This is the root screen.
|
|
- **Elements**:
|
|
- Active address ETH balance (large) + USD value in parentheses

|
change
|
|
- "Reject" → closes popup (returns rejection to background)
|
|

|
|
EIP-1193 code 4001

### External Services
|
|
|
|
AutistMask is not a fully self-contained offline tool. It necessarily
|
|
communicates with three external services to function as a wallet:
|
|
|
|
- **Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint**: The extension needs an Ethereum node to query
|
|
balances (`eth_getBalance`), read ERC-20 token contracts (`eth_call`),
|
|
estimate gas (`eth_estimateGas`), fetch nonces (`eth_getTransactionCount`),
|
|
broadcast transactions (`eth_sendRawTransaction`), and check transaction
|
|
receipts. The default endpoint is a public RPC (configurable by the user to
|
|
any endpoint they prefer, including a local node). By default the extension
|
|
talks to `https://ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com`.
|
|
- **Data sent**: Ethereum addresses, transaction data, contract call
|
|
parameters. The RPC endpoint can see all on-chain queries and submitted
|
|
transactions.
|
|
|
|
- **CoinDesk CADLI price API**: Used to fetch ETH/USD and token/USD prices for
|
|
displaying fiat values. The price is cached for 5 minutes to avoid excessive
|
|
requests. No API key required. No user data is sent — only a list of token
|
|
symbols. Note that CoinDesk will receive your client IP.
|
|
- **Data sent**: Token symbol strings only (e.g. "ETH", "USDC"). No
|
|
addresses or user-specific data.
|
|
|
|
- **Blockscout block-explorer API**: Used to fetch transaction history (normal
|
|
transactions and ERC-20 token transfers), ERC-20 token balances, and token
|
|
holder counts (for spam filtering). The default endpoint is
|
|
`https://eth.blockscout.com/api/v2` (configurable by the user in Settings).
|
|
- **Data sent**: Ethereum addresses. Blockscout receives the user's
|
|
addresses to query their transaction history and token balances. No
|
|
private keys, passwords, or signing operations are sent.
|
|
|
|
What the extension does NOT do:
|
|
|
|
- No analytics or telemetry services
|
|
- No token list APIs (the top-250 token list is bundled at build time)
|
|
- No Infura/Alchemy dependency (any JSON-RPC endpoint works)
|
|
- No backend servers operated by the developer
|
|
|
|
In addition to the three user-configurable services above (RPC endpoint,
|
|
CoinDesk price API, and Blockscout API), AutistMask also contacts:
|
|
|
|
- **Phishing domain blocklist**: A community-maintained phishing domain
|
|
blocklist is vendored into the extension at build time. At runtime, the
|
|
extension fetches the live list once every 24 hours to detect newly added
|
|
domains. Only the delta (domains not already in the vendored list) is kept in
|
|
memory, keeping runtime memory usage small. The delta is persisted to
|
|
localStorage if it is under 256 KiB.
|
|
- **Etherscan address labels**: When confirming a transaction, the extension
|
|
performs a best-effort lookup of the recipient address on Etherscan to check
|
|
for phishing/scam labels. This is a direct page fetch with no API key; the
|
|
user's browser makes the request.
|
|
|
|
Users who want maximum privacy can point the RPC and Blockscout URLs at their
|
|
own self-hosted instances (price fetching can be disabled in a future version).
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
AutistMask uses four runtime libraries. All cryptographic operations are
|
|
delegated to ethers and libsodium — see the Crypto Policy section below.

### Crypto Policy
|
|
|
|
**No raw crypto primitives in application code.** If the strings `aes`, `sha`,
|
|
`pbkdf`, `hmac`, `encrypt`, `decrypt`, `hash`, `cipher`, `digest`, `sign`
|
|
(case-insensitive) appear in our own source code (outside of `node_modules/`),
|
|
it is almost certainly a bug. All cryptographic operations must go through
|
|
`ethers` or `libsodium-wrappers-sumo`. Both are widely audited and
|
|
battle-tested.
|
|
|
|
Exceptions require explicit authorization in a code comment referencing this
|
|
policy, but as of now there are none.
|
|
|
|
### DEBUG Mode Policy
|
|
|
|
The `DEBUG` constant in the popup JS enables a red "DEBUG / INSECURE" banner and
|
|
a hardcoded test mnemonic. **DEBUG mode must behave as close to normal mode as
|
|
possible.** No `if (DEBUG)` branches that skip functionality, bypass security
|
|
flows, or alter program behavior beyond the banner and the hardcoded mnemonic.
|
|
Adding new DEBUG-conditional branches requires explicit approval from the
|
|
project owner.
|
|
|
|
`DEBUG` is a build-time constant, not a runtime setting. `build.js` injects it
|
|
into the bundle as the `__BUILD_DEBUG__` define — `false` unless the build was
|
|
run with `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1` (see [Debug Builds](#debug-builds)) — and
|
|
`src/shared/constants.js` reads it. It cannot be changed after the bundle is
|
|
produced.
|
|
|
|
The debug-mode toggle in settings is a separate, runtime-only flag. It raises
|
|
the log level and turns the banner on, and that is all it may ever do: it feeds
|
|
`isDebug()` in `src/shared/log.js`, which is deliberately not what
|
|
`generateMnemonic()` consults. Mnemonic generation reads the build-time `DEBUG`
|
|
constant directly, so no runtime toggle in a release build can reach the
|
|
hardcoded test phrase.
|
|
|
|
### Key Decisions
|
|
|
|
- **No framework**: The popup UI is vanilla JS and HTML. The extension is small
|
|
enough that a framework adds unnecessary complexity and attack surface.
|
|
- **Split storage model**: Public data (xpubs, derived addresses, token lists,
|
|
balances) is stored unencrypted in extension local storage so the user can
|
|
view their wallets and balances at any time without entering a password.
|
|
Private data (recovery phrases, private keys) will be encrypted at rest using
|
|
libsodium — a password is only required when the user needs to sign a
|
|
transaction or message. The encryption scheme for private data:
|
|
- The user's password is run through Argon2id (`crypto_pwhash`) to derive a
|
|
256-bit encryption key. Argon2id is memory-hard, making GPU/ASIC brute
|
|
force attacks expensive.
|
|
- The derived key encrypts the secret material using XSalsa20-Poly1305
|
|
(`crypto_secretbox`), which provides authenticated encryption (the
|
|
ciphertext cannot be tampered with without detection).
|
|
- Stored blob: `{ salt, nonce, ciphertext }` (the auth tag is part of the
|
|
`crypto_secretbox` output).
|
|
- **The password is NOT used in address derivation.** It exists solely to
|
|
protect the recovery phrase / private key on disk. Anyone with the
|
|
recovery phrase can restore the wallet on any device without this
|
|
password. This matches standard EVM wallet behavior.
|
|
- **BIP-39 / BIP-44 via ethers.js**: Mnemonic generation, validation, and HD key
|
|
derivation (`m/44'/60'/0'/0/n`) are handled entirely by ethers.js. The BIP-39
|
|
passphrase is always empty (matching most wallet software). The user's
|
|
password is completely separate and has no effect on which addresses are
|
|
generated.
|
|
- **ethers.js for everything Ethereum**: Transaction construction, signing, gas
|
|
estimation, RPC communication, ERC-20 contract calls, and address derivation
|
|
are all handled by ethers.js. This means zero hand-rolled Ethereum logic.
|
|
- **EIP-1193 provider**: The content script injects a `window.ethereum` object
|
|
that implements the EIP-1193 provider interface, enabling web3 site
|
|
connectivity.
|
|
- **Minimal RPC**: The extension communicates with Ethereum nodes via JSON-RPC
|
|
through ethers.js's `JsonRpcProvider`. The default endpoint is configurable.
|
|
No Infura dependency — users can point it at any Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint.
|
|
|
|

|
### Address Poisoning and Fake Token Transfer Attacks
|
|
|
|
During development, one of our test addresses
|
|
(`0x66133E8ea0f5D1d612D2502a968757D1048c214a`) sent 0.005 ETH to
|
|
`0xC3c693Ae04BaD5f13C45885C1e85a9557798f37E`. Within seconds, a fraudulent
|
|
transaction appeared in the address's token transfer history
|
|
(`0x85215772ed26ea8b39c2b3b18779030487efbe0b5fd7e882592b2f62b837be84`) showing a
|
|
0.005 "ETH" transfer from our address to
|
|
`0xC3C0AEA127c575B9FFD03BF11C6a878e8979c37F` — a scam address whose first four
|
|
characters (`0xC3C0`) visually resemble the legitimate recipient (`0xC3c6`).
|
|
|
|
**How it works:** A scammer deploys a malicious ERC-20 contract (in this case,
|
|
`0xD05339f9Ea5ab9d9F03B9d57F671d2abD1F55c82`, a fake token calling itself
|
|
"Ethereum" with symbol "ETH" and zero holders). This contract has a function
|
|
that emits an ERC-20 `Transfer(from, to, amount)` event with arbitrary
|
|
parameters. The EVM does not enforce that the `from` address in a Transfer event
|
|
actually initiated or authorized the transfer — any contract can emit any event
|
|
with any parameters. The scammer calls their contract, which emits a Transfer
|
|
event claiming the victim sent tokens to the scam address. Every blockchain
|
|
indexer (Blockscout, Etherscan, etc.) sees a valid Transfer event log and
|
|
indexes it as a real token transfer.
|
|
|
|
**The attack has two goals:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Autocomplete poisoning**: Wallets that offer address autocomplete based on
|
|
transaction history will suggest the scam address (which looks similar to a
|
|
legitimate recent recipient) when the user starts typing. The user copies the
|
|
wrong address and sends real funds to the scammer.
|
|
|
|
2. **Transaction history confusion**: The fake transfer appears in the victim's
|
|
history as an outbound transaction, making it look like the user sent funds
|
|
to the scam address. Users who copy-paste addresses from their own
|
|
transaction history may grab the wrong one.
|
|
|
|
**What AutistMask does about it:**
|
|
|
|
- **Minimal, careful truncation**: Where space constraints require truncation
|
|
(e.g. the transaction history list), AutistMask truncates conservatively —
|
|
displaying enough characters that generating a vanity address matching the
|
|
visible portion is computationally infeasible. All confirmation screens
|
|
(transaction signing, send confirmation) display the complete untruncated
|
|
address. Users should always verify the full address on the confirmation
|
|
screen before signing or sending.
|
|
|
|
- **Known token symbol verification**: AutistMask ships a hardcoded list of the
|
|
top 250 ERC-20 tokens with their legitimate contract addresses and symbols.
|
|
Any token transfer claiming a symbol from this list (e.g. "ETH", "USDT",
|
|
"USDC") but originating from an unrecognized contract address is identified as
|
|
a spoof and filtered from display. The fake "Ethereum" token in the attack
|
|
above used symbol "ETH" from contract
|
|
`0xD05339f9Ea5ab9d9F03B9d57F671d2abD1F55c82`, which does not match the known
|
|
WETH contract — so it would be caught by this check.
|
|
|
|
- **Low-holder token filtering**: Token transfers from ERC-20 contracts with
|
|
fewer than 1,000 holders are hidden from transaction history by default.
|
|
Legitimate tokens have substantial holder counts; poisoning tokens typically
|
|
have zero. This catches new poisoning contracts that use novel symbols not in
|
|
the known token list.
|
|
|
|
- **Fraud contract blocklist**: AutistMask maintains a local list of known fraud
|
|
contract addresses. Token transfers involving these contracts are filtered
|
|
from the transaction history display. The list is populated when a fraudulent
|
|
transfer is detected and persists across sessions.
|
|
|
|
- **Send-side token filtering**: Tokens with fewer than 1,000 holders are
|
|
excluded from the token selector on the send screen. This prevents users from
|
|
accidentally interacting with a spoofed token that appeared in their balance
|
|
via a fake Transfer event.
|
|
|
|
- **Dust transaction filtering**: A second wave of the same attack used real
|
|
native ETH transfers instead of fake tokens. Transaction
|
|
`0x2708ebddfb9b5fa3f7a89d3ea398ef9fd8771b83ed861ecb7c21cd55d18edc74` sent 1
|
|
gwei (0.000000001 ETH) from `0xC3c6B3b4402bD78A9582aB6b00E747769344F37E` —
|
|
another look-alike of the legitimate recipient `0xC3c693...`. Because this is
|
|
a real ETH transfer (not a fake token), none of the token-level filters catch
|
|
it. AutistMask hides transactions below a configurable dust threshold
|
|
(default: 100,000 gwei / 0.0001 ETH). This is high enough to filter poisoning
|
|
dust while low enough to preserve any transfer a user would plausibly care
|
|
about. The threshold is user-configurable in Settings.
|
|
|
|
- **User-configurable**: All of the above filters (known symbol verification,
|
|
low-holder threshold, fraud contract blocklist, dust threshold) are settings
|
|
that default to on but can be individually disabled by the user. AutistMask is
|
|
designed as a sharp tool — users who understand the risks can configure the
|
|
wallet to show everything unfiltered, unix-style.
|
|
|
|
#### Phishing Domain Protection
|
|
|
|
AutistMask protects users from known phishing sites when they connect their
|
|
wallet or approve transactions/signatures. A community-maintained domain
|
|
blocklist is vendored into the extension at build time, providing immediate
|
|
protection without any network requests. At runtime, the extension fetches the
|
|
live list once every 24 hours and keeps only the delta (newly added domains not
|
|
in the vendored list) in memory. This architecture keeps runtime memory usage
|
|
small while ensuring fresh coverage of new phishing domains.
|
|
|
|
When a dApp on a blocklisted domain requests a wallet connection, transaction
|
|
approval, or signature, the approval popup displays a prominent red warning
|
|
banner alerting the user. The domain checker matches exact hostnames and all
|
|
parent domains (subdomain matching).
|
|
|
|
#### Transaction Decoding
|
|
|
|
When a dApp asks the user to approve a transaction, AutistMask attempts to
|
|
decode the calldata into a human-readable summary. This is purely a display
|
|
convenience to help the user understand what they are signing — it is not
|
|
endorsement, special treatment, or partnership with any protocol.
|
|
|
|
AutistMask is a generic web3 wallet. It treats all dApps, protocols, and
|
|
contracts equally. No contract gets special handling, priority, or integration
|
|
beyond what is needed to show the user a legible confirmation screen. Our
|
|
commitment is to the user, not to any service, site, or contract.
|
|
|
|
Decoded transaction summaries are best-effort. If decoding fails, the raw
|
|
calldata is displayed in full. The decoders live in self-contained modules under
|
|
`src/shared/` (e.g. `uniswap.js`) so they can be added for common contracts
|
|
without polluting wallet-specific code. Contributions of decoders for other
|
|
widely-used contracts are welcome.
|
|
|
|
Currently supported:
|
|
|
|
- **ERC-20**: `approve()` and `transfer()` calls — shows token symbol, spender
|
|
or recipient, and amount.
|
|
- **Uniswap Universal Router**: `execute()` calls — shows swap direction (e.g.
|
|
"Swap USDT → ETH"), token addresses, amounts, execution steps, and deadline.
|
|
Decodes Permit2, V2/V3/V4 swaps, wrap/unwrap, and balance checks.
|
|
|
|
### Non-Goals Forever
|
|
|
|
- Built in token swaps (use a DEX in the browser)
|
|
- Analytics, telemetry, or tracking of any kind
|
|
- Advertisements or promotions
|
|
- Obscure token list auto-discovery — nothing outside the bundled list, the
|
|
1,000-holder floor, and the tokens the user added by contract address
|
|
- We detect common/popular ERC20s in the basic case
|
|
- Fiat on/off ramps
|
|
- Extensive transaction decoding/parsing
|
|
- For common ones we will do best-effort, but you should just use a block
|
|
explorer.
|
|
|
|
### Non-Goals for 1.0
|
|
|
|
- Multi-chain support (Ethereum mainnet only)
|
|
- Hardware wallet support
|
|

## Policies
|
|
|
|
- We don't mention "the other wallet" by name in code or documentation. We're
|
|
our own thing.
|
|
- The README is the complete authoritative technical documentation. It's ok if
|
|
it gets big.
