What are “trap pattern detection” recommendations?

Trap pattern detection recommendations involve monitoring for addresses matching known trap indicators and unusual patterns suggesting seed or trap addresses. Traps may use specific domains, naming conventions, or appear only on certain blocklists.

Behavioral indicators include addresses that never engage but never bounce. Real addresses eventually generate some signal. Persistent silent addresses warrant investigation.

Proactive trap prevention through proper consent practices matters more than detection. Traps enter lists through harvesting, purchasing, or collecting without verification. Confirmed opt in prevents most trap additions.
