We see a world where everyone is safe when they open or share a link.

MetaCert was founded on a simple belief: trust online shouldn’t be a gamble. Today, people are told to “be careful” and “check links,” putting all the burden on them. But links are designed to look real. Even experts get fooled.

Phishing is the single choke point behind most attacks, from fraud and identity theft to ransomware. It keeps growing because the security industry still assumes links are safe until proven dangerous.

We invented a new approach.

MetaCert created Zero Trust URL Authentication. It flips the old model by treating every link as suspicious until verified. Like checking ID before entry, you shouldn’t trust a link without verifying it first.

Our Link Verifier is the first app of its kind. Once installed, it integrates with your iPhone’s share menu in nearly every app, including Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, Gmail, browsers, QR scanners, and more. No extra setup. No switching apps. Just two taps to see if a link is verified, unverified, or dangerous.

A green signal means safe in seconds. Grey means pause and check. Red means stay away.

This approach works. Our browser extension with the same model protected hundreds of thousands of crypto traders without a single reported scam.

MetaCert isn’t just an app. It’s a platform. Our verification service is opening to banks, telecoms, eSIM providers, crypto companies, and security vendors. Anyone can embed our real-time link checking to protect customers across their entire mobile experience.

We’re also opening our Zero Trust API lookup service to security vendors and app developers so they can add real-time link verification to their own products.

For mobile operators, we offer Zero Trust SMS. This network-level solution checks every link in text messages and blocks links that fail to authenticate before they reach the phone. No user action or extra app needed. Once enabled by a carrier, everyone on the network is protected.
