Named Chainabuse, the tool aims to allow crypto users to issue warnings and discuss ongoing fraudulent activity for example scams and hacks in tangible-time.

However, companies and crypto investors may use Chainabuse’s public forums to upvote, downvote and then leave comments to supply more information in regards to a reported illicit activity.
