Use Cases

Here are some potential use cases for the isSpamContract method:

• Preventing spam transactions: If you are building a blockchain-based application or service, you may want to prevent spam transactions from being processed on your network. By checking whether a contract is a spam, you can filter out transactions that are likely to be spam and prevent them from clogging up your network.

• Improving search results: If you are building a search engine for smart contracts, you may want to filter out spam contracts from your search results. By using the isSpamContract method, you can identify and exclude contracts that are known to be spam.

• Enhancing security: If you are building a security system for a smart contract platform, you may want to identify contracts that are known to be malicious or spammy. By using the isSpamContract method, you can flag these contracts as high-risk and take additional security measures to protect your platform and users.
