Project Summary
Metridex QuickScan is a lightweight risk and data analytics layer that gives traders, wallets and dApps an instant, explainable snapshot of on-chain risk for tokens and protocols. Today, Metridex runs as a production Telegram bot and report engine focused on multiple EVM chains, combining liquidity and holder analysis with contract checks, LP lock intel, and website/domain due diligence in a single, human-readable report that typically renders in a few seconds.
With this Open Grant, we propose to bring Metridex QuickScan natively into the Filecoin ecosystem by adding first-class support for the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM) and Filecoin-centric data. The project will deliver: a Filecoin/FVM QuickScan engine, developer-friendly APIs and SDKs, ready-to-use widgets (e.g. “Scan with Metridex” buttons for dApps), and a public, open dataset of Filecoin-related risk signals stored on Filecoin itself. Because the QuickScan engine and Telegram UX are already battle-tested on other chains, we can start execution immediately in Q1 2026 and move quickly from prototype to live usage.
The goal is to make it trivial for Filecoin builders to add safety and transparency tooling around FVM-based assets and protocols, and to help users understand what they are interacting with before they sign a transaction or trust a website.
Impact
Filecoin and FVM are enabling a new class of data-centric DeFi and “DataFi” applications: liquid staking of FIL, DeFi around storage provider revenues, tokenized data indexes, and more. These users increasingly face familiar Web3 risks (rug pulls, opaque contract upgrades, questionable websites) plus Filecoin-specific complexity (which storage providers or data flows they are indirectly exposed to). Today there is no simple, unified “risk snapshot” tailored to Filecoin/FVM that developers can easily plug into their products.
Metridex QuickScan for Filecoin seeks to close this gap. The tool will provide an opinionated but transparent checklist for FVM tokens and Filecoin-integrated protocols: contract metadata, holder and liquidity concentration (where applicable), upgradeability hints, links to canonical explorers, checks on referenced domains/frontends, and Filecoin-specific context (e.g. whether a protocol claims to interact with particular storage providers, datasets or Filecoin programs, and if those claims match on-chain reality where verifiable).
Getting this right means safer adoption of Filecoin and FVM: wallets and frontends can surface clear warnings before users commit capital; ecosystem teams can standardize around shared risk language; and the community can build analytics and dashboards on top of an open dataset of historical QuickScan results. Not getting this right risks the familiar pattern from other chains: early users remember rugs and confusing UX more than they remember the underlying protocol.
In terms of ecosystem impact, success looks like: FVM-based dApps embedding QuickScan as a default “safety check”, Filecoin-native wallets and dashboards consuming our APIs, and a growing corpus of anonymized Filecoin QuickScan reports stored on Filecoin as a public good for researchers, auditors, and the community.
Outcomes
At the end of the project, we expect to deliver:
A production-ready QuickScan engine for Filecoin/FVM
Support for scanning FVM token contracts and Filecoin-integrated protocols.
Risk summaries including contract basics, liquidity / holder concentration (where applicable), upgradeability hints, and “Overall risk” scoring aligned with Filecoin use cases.
Direct links to Filecoin/FVM explorers and any relevant dashboards.
Developer-facing APIs & SDKs
A documented REST API for QuickScan on Filecoin.
Lightweight SDKs (TypeScript/JavaScript) and code snippets so wallets, dApps, and dashboards can integrate in a few lines of code.
Example integrations (e.g. a demo dApp and a demo wallet mockup).
Telegram bot & UI layer for Filecoin users
Updated Metridex Telegram bot with Filecoin/FVM support, so users can paste an address or token and receive Filecoin-aware QuickScan reports.
Buttons for “Open in explorer”, “View storage/data context” (where applicable), and “Share report”.
Open dataset and documentation
An open, periodically batched dataset of anonymized Filecoin QuickScan results (e.g. JSON/CSV snapshots) stored on Filecoin, with schema documentation.
Developer documentation, examples, and integration guides targeting Filecoin builders.
We will measure success using concrete metrics such as:
Number of unique Filecoin/FVM contracts scanned via QuickScan.
Number of integrated Filecoin/FVM dApps or wallets using our API/SDK.
Number of QuickScan Filecoin reports stored on Filecoin as part of the open dataset.
Basic usage metrics for the Filecoin QuickScan Telegram entrypoint (e.g. weekly active users and scans per week).
Because QuickScan is already live on other chains, our focus is on adapting the engine and UX to Filecoin/FVM and shipping usable integrations within the first 2–4 months, rather than building everything from scratch.
Data Onboarding
This project is primarily a developer tooling and analytics effort, but we explicitly plan to store an open dataset of Filecoin-related QuickScan reports on Filecoin itself. The dataset will contain anonymized, batched results (no user PII), such as risk scores, contract metadata, key signals, and timestamps.
Projected data onboarding (approximate, cumulative):
Month #1: ~5 GB (initial seed of sample reports and test data)
Month #3: ~20 GB (expanded dataset with mainnet usage)
Month #6: ~60 GB
Month #12: ~150 GB
These are estimates and depend on actual usage, but the intent is clear: QuickScan for Filecoin will not only consume Filecoin for storage; it will also contribute a long-lived public risk-intel dataset back to the network.
Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies
Target audience.
Our immediate target audience comprises:
FVM and Filecoin dApp builders (DeFi, DataFi, tooling).
Filecoin-integrated wallets, data dashboards, and explorers.
Power users and communities on Telegram/Discord who actively interact with Filecoin/FVM protocols.
We already have an active Telegram-first user base on other chains, where traders use Metridex QuickScan to sanity-check tokens and contracts before acting. The Filecoin integration will extend this experience to FVM assets and Filecoin-integrated protocols, while giving builders embeddable APIs, SDKs, and widgets.
Onboarding new users.
First 10 users: direct collaboration with 1–2 Filecoin ecosystem teams (e.g. a DeFi/DataFi protocol and a Filecoin-integrated wallet) to co-design the initial integrations and ensure product–market fit.
First 100 users: promotion via those integrations (QuickScan buttons in dApps), announcements in Filecoin developer channels, and a short technical blog / tutorial on “Adding a one-click risk scan to your FVM dApp”.
Beyond 100 users: continued integrations, public dashboards built on our open dataset, and periodic educational threads/posts showing real QuickScan examples for Filecoin use cases.
Our growth strategy is intentionally B2B2C: instead of acquiring every user directly, we want QuickScan to be a default safety component inside Filecoin-native products.

Beyond the grant period, we plan to:
Maintain QuickScan for Filecoin/FVM as part of our core product roadmap (bug fixes, new signals, performance improvements).
Keep the Filecoin QuickScan dataset updated for as long as the product is active, refreshing batches and schema as needed (with backward-compatible changes).
Incorporate feedback from Filecoin ecosystem teams, adding new signals and checks as the protocol and DeFi/DataFi landscape evolve.
We commit to at least 12 months of ongoing maintenance after the last milestone, with a strong intention to continue supporting Filecoin as a strategic ecosystem beyond that window.

Additional information:
Metridex is currently a lean, founder-led project in an active grant-driven phase across several ecosystems. No external funding has been secured yet; work so far has been bootstrapped by the founder. The existing QuickScan engine already supports multiple EVM chains in production, which reduces technical risk and shortens the time-to-value for Filecoin: most of the work is focused on adapting proven components to FVM and Filecoin-specific data, not building a brand-new system.
Filecoin/FVM is a strategic ecosystem for Metridex: we see a clear opportunity to make Filecoin-centric DeFi/DataFi safer and more transparent by giving builders and users an opinionated, open-source risk and data toolkit that runs natively on Filecoin and stores part of its knowledge back onto Filecoin.
