TETRAHELIXGUARD
Transaction safety, before signing
Understand the transaction. Before you sign.
TetraHelix Guard is a local-first transaction-intent firewall for crypto wallets. It decodes unsigned requests, compares their real effects with user intent, and warns about suspicious actions before signing.
Support varies by wallet, network and request type. Independent security qualification is not complete; Guard can miss problems or raise false alarms.

01 The product
A safer decision point between a site and a wallet.
Compare intent with effect
Check what the request will actually do against what the user believes they are approving.
Interrupt with clarity
Stop suspicious or sensitive requests for an explicit review before the wallet becomes the final signer.
02 Working proof
Interception tested on a live wallet connection flow.
During a live test on the Arbitrum Open House platform, Guard intercepted an eth_requestAccounts connection request before it reached the wallet. It surfaced the requesting origin and an exact request fingerprint, required explicit review, and then permitted one unchanged retry after authorization.
The wallet remained the final authority. The approval was single-use and expired automatically.
