Polygon, the Ethereum layer-2 chain, has partnered with De.Fi to incorporate its antivirus into the ecosystem. The collaboration aims to enhance the safety and security of transactions on the Polygon network by offering users a DeFi suite of security tools.

The antivirus includes two separate tools, De.Fi Shield and De.Fi Scanner, which enable users to revoke access to potentially malicious dApps and assess the security level of NFTs, tokens, or staking vaults before engaging with them. While the concept of a Web3 antivirus is still relatively new, the partnership hopes to counter security breaches or hacking incidents.
