Introducing Fire - a Chrome extension that simulates Web3 transactions, showing you exactly what will go in and out of your wallet before you sign in your wallet.
GM Product Hunt!
I’m Jeff, co-founder of Fire and we believe everyone should know what they’re agreeing to when they sign a smart contract - yet very few actually do.
Not too long ago a friend of mine was telling me how he lost his Ape. One day he woke up and poof, it was just gone due to an approval he gave while signing a smart contract.
It got me thinking, I’d never sign a contract in real life without reading it first. Yet, so many people are transferring hundreds of thousands of $$ without any idea what they’re actually agreeing to.
So… we built Fire.
Fire is a Chrome extension that sits in your browser and simulates a transaction before you sign with your wallet, giving you visibility into exactly what you’re signing. We work with any wallet and don’t have access to your private key and will never access it.
With Fire, you can preview what will enter and exit your wallet BEFORE you sign a transaction.
💪 How it Works: After downloading the Fire extension, it will catch signature requests from your browser, run a simulation, and show you the results. If everything looks good, you sign the transaction using your wallet.
🔒 Privacy and Security: We at Fire are committed to protecting your privacy. The information we gather or process is used solely for core functionality of Fire and to improve the quality and security of our service.

The Fire extension can’t control any of your funds since we do not have access to your seed phrase (and we will never ask for it).
We’re so excited to open Fire up to everybody!

Really love Fire, it's become one of my favourite and essential extensions I use when interacting with web3 applications, just gives you that extra peace of mind.
One thing I think would be cool in future is for them to develop a wallet which actually allows you to have all this functionality built into it by default.
