Unverified and suspicious tokens in Wraith Wallet

Why do these tokens appear?​

Wraith Wallet shows every token linked to your address on supported blockchains. Because blockchain addresses are public, anyone can send tokens to your wallet - including spam or scam tokens. These might come from:

Airdrops - unsolicited tokens sent to attract attention.

Manual imports - tokens you’ve added yourself via contract address.

Transfers - tokens received from another wallet.

Scams - malicious tokens designed to trick users into interacting with fake dApps.

⚠️ Important Just because a token appears in your wallet doesn’t mean it’s safe. Always verify before interacting.

What are unverified tokens?​

Unverified tokens have not been reviewed or approved by trusted sources. They may be legitimate but carry more risk. Common signs include:

No listing on reputable sites (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, etc.).

Very few holders or transactions.

Limited liquidity.

In Wraith Wallet, unverified tokens are flagged with a yellow triangle.

Example: viewing an unverified token on a block explorer

What are suspicious tokens?​

Suspicious tokens are flagged as likely scams. They are often:

Sent unsolicited as part of phishing schemes.

Linked to malicious smart contracts.

Reported by the community as dangerous.

In Wraith Wallet, suspicious tokens are flagged with a red exclamation mark.

Example: suspicious token warning in block explorer

How Wraith Wallet classifies tokens​

Trusted lists - Verified tokens are sourced from curated databases like CoinGecko or official blockchain registries.

Security checks - Suspicious tokens are flagged based on scam reports and abnormal on-chain activity.

Community feedback - User reports help Wraith Wallet update token status in real time.

Hiding unverified or suspicious tokens​

To reduce risk, you can hide tokens directly in Wraith Wallet:
