DemystiFi MetaMask Plugin

Proposed functionality includes

• Plugin alerts when interacting with a suspicious contract
• We maintain a db of contracts with a score of their 'health'
• People can report contracts, but they must have evidence (ie a transaction) showing their interaction with the contract
• We can do some analysis of price movements of tokens against social media mentions for evidence of pump / dump scams
• Analyse smart contracts for 'rug pulling' or too much developer control
• Note which contracts haven't been audited
• Plugin should also be aware of ENS names for the contract
  • https://docs.ens.domains/dapp-developer-guide/resolving-names
• Use d3.js for display - e.g. https://observablehq.com/@d3/radial-tidy-tree
• https://duneanalytics.com/ may also be useful
• https://etherscan.io/apis#contracts for analysing smart contracts / checking verification status
