Is Kerberus Sentinel3 the Best Solution for Your Security in Web3?
Throughout my years in the Web3 space, security has always been a top concern. While self-custody is an appealing concept, it comes with significant responsibility. A hardware wallet alone is not sufficient; advanced tools are needed to provide a higher level of protection against the increasingly sophisticated threats we face today.
After testing various solutions over the years, Filip, the co-founder of a trusted VC, recommended the Kerberus Sentinel3 extension. After a year of use, I not only recommend it but have also decided to write this article to help other Web3 users protect themselves from losing their funds.
Let’s get started…
Kerberus Sentinel3 is a Web3 security extension designed to protect users from scams. It’s simple to use, even for those without specific technical knowledge.
How Does It Work?
Kerberus Sentinel3 scans Web3 sites in real-time using advanced heuristic engines with proprietary algorithms that have proven effective against existing threats.
When a user visits a website, the extension quickly checks if the site is safe. If a malicious site is detected, the extension alerts the user and blocks it.
This process is fast and discreet, barely slowing down the user’s browsing experience (scans are performed in 1–2 seconds, extending up to 5 seconds if a threat is suspected).
You can see a real example of its functionality in the following link:
