Link Verifier makes it easy for you to confirm if a link is verified as legitimate - before you open it.
Other security tools assume every new scam link is safe until someone reports it. MetaCert does the opposite. It assumes every unverified link is untrusted until it’s proven legitimate.
Works inside text messages, emails, apps, and browsers.
Other security companies tell you to check suspicious links. Only MetaCert lets you do it without guessing.
The link is verified as legitimate and not impersonating anyone. It’s safe to proceed.
The link is unverified. Pause and check before you log in, pay, or download software.
The link is verified as dangerous. Do not click, log in, pay, or download.
Link Verifier works through the same menu you already use to copy a link, open it in a browser, or share it with another app. When you hard press or long press a link in any app, that familiar menu appears. From there, select “Share,” which opens the menu showing all your available extensions and actions. That’s where you’ll see “Verify Link with MetaCert.”
It works everywhere you can open or share a link, including messages, email, chat apps, browsers, and QR code scanners. There’s nothing extra to install or configure. Once you download MetaCert, Link Verifier automatically appears in the share menu of every app on your phone, and any new app you install will have it too.
For the past 20 years, security systems have relied on databases of known dangerous links, reputation scores, and more recently, machine learning and AI models that try to predict what might be unsafe. They only work after a threat has already been found and reported, which means new or unknown links still get through, or when AI happens to pick up signals from the easier scams.
MetaCert is the first and only company to offer a Zero Trust approach to web links, bringing the world the first major upgrade to phishing protection in two decades. Link Verifier doesn’t try to guess what’s dangerous and doesn’t need prior knowledge of dangerous links. It checks whether a link has been verified as legitimate. Every link is treated as untrustworthy until it’s proven to belong to the real organisation it claims to represent.
When you tap “Verify Link with MetaCert,” you’re not asking if a link looks suspicious, you’re confirming that it’s authentic.
Zero Trust means nothing is trusted by default. It’s a security model built on the idea that every person, app, device, network connection, and web link must be verified before it’s allowed. MetaCert pioneered this concept for web links, and to the best of our knowledge, no other security vendor offers a Zero Trust strategy for web links yet.
Instead of assuming a link is safe because it looks familiar or comes from a known source, Link Verifier treats every link as untrustworthy until it’s verified as legitimate. This removes the need for people to guess, scan, or rely on reputation scores.
When you choose “Verify Link with MetaCert,” the link is checked against a verified record of legitimate websites, login pages, apps, and social media accounts in real time, before you fall for an impersonator. If it’s confirmed, you’ll see that it’s legitimate. If it’s not verified or is known to be fraudulent, you’ll know instantly before opening it.
Yes. When a financial institution or business integrates MetaCert, their branding can appear throughout the experience, including the share menu option and the verification result page that customers see after checking a link.
For example, instead of “Verify Link with MetaCert,” customers might see “Verify Link with [Bank Name].” The result page can also display the organisation’s logo and colours, reinforcing trust each time someone checks a link.
This makes security visible in a positive way. Customers feel protected by the brand they already trust, while the business strengthens its reputation every time someone verifies a link.
Integration is simple and fast. Link Verifier connects through a lightweight API and uses the phone’s existing share menu, so there’s no need to modify your app’s core design or infrastructure.
Partners can complete integration within a few days. Once enabled, the service instantly appears on every customer’s phone as “Verify Link with [Your Brand].” It works across all apps, messages, and browsers without any setup required from the customer.
Yes. It works inside every email app on your phone or tablet, including Apple Mail, Gmail, and Outlook. Press and hold a link in any email to open the share menu and select “Verify Link with MetaCert.” The result appears instantly.
It also works in web browsers like Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Brave. When you press and hold a link, the share menu appears and you can verify it immediately. Because it’s part of the system share menu, Link Verifier automatically works in every browser, with no extensions needed.
Yes. Link Verifier works inside all apps that allow you to open or share a link. When you press and hold a link, the share menu appears, and you can choose “Verify Link with MetaCert.”
It works seamlessly inside apps like Discord, Telegram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, as well as any other messaging, social, or business app. Because it’s part of the phone’s system share menu, Link Verifier appears automatically in every app you use and in any new app you download.
The MetaCert token will be used to pay people who help validate and maintain the accuracy of verified web links. A community of more than 20,000 people is already waiting to be paid for this work. Each validator will earn tokens for confirming whether a web link truly belongs to the organisation it claims to represent.
Right now, new links cannot be submitted for verification, but this feature will be available soon. In the future, website owners will be able to pay to have their links verified before launching a marketing campaign, customer message, or text alert.
The MetaCert token isn’t speculative. It’s designed as a salary mechanism for a growing network of people who will help ensure the trustworthiness of web links across the internet.
No. MetaCert never reads, stores, or accesses your messages, emails, or web pages. Link Verifier only checks the link you choose to verify, and nothing else.
When you tap “Verify Link with MetaCert,” the link itself is sent securely to MetaCert’s verification system. The system checks whether that link has been verified as legitimate, unverified, or known to be fraudulent, and then returns the result instantly.
Everything happens in real time, and no personal data, content, or message history is ever collected or stored.
Yes. It’s available as a mobile app that allows people to check any link they receive, whether it comes through a text message, email, chat app, browser, or QR code.
While banks, telecom providers, and other organisations can integrate Link Verifier directly into their apps, individuals can install it themselves to protect their own phones. Once it’s installed, every app on the device instantly has access to “Verify Link with MetaCert,” making it easy for anyone to check a link before they trust it.
At MetaCert, our focus is data. We verify web links by confirming which ones truly belong to legitimate organisations. This is what defines us and why Link Verifier works differently from anything else. Instead of trying to detect every dangerous link on the internet, we focus on verifying the real ones that matter most.
It’s far easier and more effective to confirm legitimate PayPal websites, for example, than to chase the tens of thousands of fake ones pretending to be PayPal. That principle allows us to verify at scale while traditional detection systems struggle to keep up.
We don’t aim to verify the entire internet. We prioritise the brands and organisations most often impersonated and most likely to request logins, payments, or software installs. When we work with companies that want to protect their employees or customers, they can submit the websites and services that matter most to them for immediate verification.
MetaCert maintains a large and constantly updated database of verified links that belong to legitimate organisations. Each verified link is confirmed through a strict authentication process to ensure it truly represents the organisation it claims to.
If a link isn’t in the verified database, it’s marked as unverified until it can be checked. Links confirmed to impersonate trusted brands or lead to phishing or fraud are marked as fraudulent.
When you tap “Verify Link with MetaCert,” the link is checked in real time and you see one of three clear results: verified, unverified, or fraudulent, before you open it.
When a link is unverified, MetaCert shows a clear message telling you that it hasn’t yet been confirmed as legitimate. It isn’t automatically blocked because some new or smaller websites may not have been verified yet.
At that point, you can decide whether to continue or not. The purpose of Link Verifier is to make that decision clear and informed. If a link is confirmed as dangerous, you’ll see a red warning telling you not to open it. If it’s verified as legitimate, you’ll see that it’s safe to proceed.
Most cybercrime begins with phishing, and nearly every phishing attack involves a dangerous link. That makes unverified links the single biggest cyber risk facing people, banks, and companies everywhere.
MetaCert reduces this risk by giving customers a simple way to check any link before they have time to fall for an impersonation attack. When someone chooses “Verify Link with MetaCert,” they see in real time whether a link is legitimate, unverified, or confirmed as dangerous.
For banks and payment providers, that means a direct reduction in fraud losses, reimbursements, and recovery costs. It also lowers support overhead and protects brand trust.
Integration is simple and fast. Link Verifier connects through a lightweight API and uses the phone’s existing share menu, so there’s no need to modify your app’s core design or infrastructure.
Partners can complete integration within a few days. Once enabled, the service instantly appears on every customer’s phone as “Verify Link with [Your Brand].” It works across all apps, messages, and browsers without any setup required from the customer.
Yes. Link Verifier works with SMS and RCS messages exactly the same way as with any other app. When you press and hold a link, the share menu appears, and you can select “Verify Link with MetaCert” to check it instantly.
It also works with iMessage, although Apple sometimes displays web links as previews, which can make it harder to bring up the share menu. In those cases, pressing and holding the link again will reveal the option to share or verify. Once selected, the result appears straight away.
