Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has officially launched the second year of its global Anti-Scam Month initiative, a campaign to raise awareness about security in the crypto industry. In a world where scams are becoming as sophisticated as the technology designed to prevent them, Bitget is making a cultural statement: security is not just a technical challenge, but a shared mindset among platforms and users.
Even as blockchain and Web3 continue to evolve, threats are becoming more sophisticated. From phishing links disguised as pranks to malicious smart contracts hidden behind social media hype, today’s scams are becoming increasingly difficult to detect. It’s not until 2024, according to the reports, losses from cryptocurrency fraud exceeded $9,9 billion, which is 24% more than in 2020.
Despite the fact that Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs and global adoption of cryptocurrencies has accelerated, less secure parts of the industry remain dangerous. The proliferation of AI-generated scams and sophisticated social engineering techniques makes the need for increased security measures and user education even more urgent.
Since 2024, Bitget has declared June as Anti-Fraud Month to raise awareness and protect users’ digital assets and personal data. This year, the company is shifting the tone from fear to conscious protection. Under the slogan “Smarter Eyes, Stronger Shields,” the campaign includes gamified training, community stories, and interactive content to foster a culture of digital vigilance.
The campaign launches:
- Bitget Anti-Scam Hub is a special site with educational materials;
- social initiative «PFP Smarter Glasses»;
- Security Blog Series;
- Smarter Eyes Challenge mini-game.
Bitget is not alone in its mission. The campaign has been joined by leading blockchain security companies GoPlus, SlowMist, OneKey, BlockSec and Security Alliance, which specialize in vulnerability detection, blockchain threat analysis and building a protective infrastructure.
Key Web3 platforms including Bitget Wallet, Morph and Tapswap have also joined the initiative, demonstrating the ecosystem’s commitment to a more secure Web3 where users are protected by default and armed with knowledge.
However, it’s not just about tools – the main thing here is trust.
Scammers adapt, and so do we. We are building Web3, where security is not a hope, but a reality in which users participate personally,” said Bitget CEO Gracie Chen. “Anti-Scam Month reflects our belief that protecting users is not just a technical debt, but a shared mission.”
As part of the campaign, Bitget, in partnership with SlowMist and compliance analytics platform Elliptic, will publish the Anti-Scam Report 2025, an analytical report that reveals the current scam landscape, attack methods, and the measures Bitget is taking to improve security.
Anti-Scam Month is a long-term commitment from Bitget: security is at the core of the future of cryptocurrency. And in the dark forest of Web3, awareness remains the strongest shield.
