Spam Filter for Push Notifications

complete

Efe Öge

We need to have an filtering for push notifications. Some projects do zero payment transactions to numerous accounts to gain some attention. People don't like to get these.

On 12th of October, GARD sends ~50k account spam message.

We have implemented an anti-spam filter and this has been live on the wallet for some time now. After testing it on production environment for a while, we have not registered any broad scale spamming behaviors.

Please get in touch with our customer support if you still experience spamming behaviors through our notification system.

Aside from "don't like to get these", there are phishing/scammers dusting with dodgy links:
⚠️ ☢️ This domain in the note is a phishing site do not give it your seed phrase

⚠️ ☢️ This domain in the note is a phishing site do not give it your seed phrase
We have done chain analysis on these scammer wallets and there are at least 2 victims over the past month by these guys.
This is a necessity at this point. The timing of Pera moving the transaction note into the notification content didn't help this much.

How someone can say who is a spammer or not?

Maybe for an Algo transaction, if it is under 0.001 Algo, shouldn't generate a push notification for the receiver.

kahredici: I think that's the idea. Set a (configurable) minimum ALGO balance for something to be "worthy" of a notification. 0.01 ALGO seems reasonable.
