METASILVER publishes original technical writing on cybersecurity: how attacks are actually
assembled, how to recognise them in the moment, and how to check every claim against a named
source. We take no referral fees and no advertising from the products we write about, and no
sponsor has any say over a word of it.
Losses involving browser wallets almost never begin with broken cryptography. They begin with an
approval the person did not understand. This guide takes apart the approval step, the seven scam
patterns that exploit it, and the checks that separate a real interface from a convincing copy.
We publish when an article is finished and checked, not on a schedule. These subjects are in
research now. They are listed without links because nothing has been published yet.
Browser extension permissions: reading a manifest before you trust it.
Account recovery flows: why the reset path is usually the weakest one.
Phishing that survives two-factor authentication: proxy kits, and what actually stops them.
Reading a security advisory: what a CVE score does and does not tell you.
How to read us
Each guide opens with a direct answer, then a table of contents, then the detail. Technical
claims carry a numbered reference to a primary source, and every article closes with a full
bibliography you can check line by line.
Most writing about wallet security is published by people who also want you to trade, stake or
sign something. That is a conflict, and it shapes what gets explained and what gets skipped.
METASILVER covers the layer where losses actually happen: the human and interface
layer. Approval prompts that grant more than they appear to. Support accounts that are not
support. Extensions that look like the one you meant to use. Addresses that differ from yours in
four characters out of forty-two.
We explain the mechanism, name the specification that defines it, and stop there. We do not
operate a wallet, a service, or anything you could connect to.
These are not preferences. They are constraints on what may be published here, and they apply to
every page, now and later.
Connect, verify, restore or synchronise a wallet
Approve a transaction, sign a message or move any asset
Install an extension, run a file or start a remote session
Send a recovery phrase, private key, password or one-time code
Make a payment, claim an airdrop or take part in a token sale
Act on a price forecast, yield comparison or trading signal
The only paid element this site may carry is the marked sponsorship slot below the content,
which links to the sponsor's own site. Advertisers in any of the categories above are refused.
If any page here ever appears to ask for one of these, it is not us. Write to

Editorial standard
Editorial principles
Six rules decide what gets published. They are written down so you can hold us to them, and so
the answer does not change depending on who is asking.
1
Sources, not assertions
Technical claims cite primary material: the specification, the vendor's own documentation, or a
public advisory from a named institution. If we cannot source a claim, we cut it.
2
Advertising kept at arm's length
Any advertising is capped at one marked slot per page, below the content, served as plain text
with no network, no cookie and no tracking. No affiliate links, no sponsored articles, no paid
reviews, and nothing at all from exchanges, wallets or trading services.
3
Education, never advice
We explain how systems and attacks work. We do not give financial, investment, legal or tax
advice, and we publish no forecasts, yields, signals or recommendations to buy or sell.
4
No promises we cannot keep
No guaranteed protection, no absolute security, no recovery of lost funds. Where a risk cannot
be eliminated we say so plainly, and we describe what it can realistically be reduced to.
5
Corrections in the open
Errors are corrected on the page, dated, and described. Substantive changes update the visible
revision date; a typographical fix does not pretend to be a new edition.
6
Plain language
Terms are defined the first time they appear. Where an idea is genuinely difficult we spend the
words on it rather than hiding it behind vocabulary.
A named publisher, a real address, one contact route.
