Blockaid Cosigner is an independent signing layer that sits on a wallet and utilizes signals from our exploit detection engine to reject malicious transactions.
Blockaid's transaction security engine classified the type-4 transaction that delegated Binance 14 as malicious on sight, with the reason that an EOA was being upgraded through EIP-7702 to an untrusted address.
