Similarly to the replace-by-fee (RBF) protocol leveraged by bitcoin users, ethereum transactions can be reversed as well with Kirobo\u2019s \u201cUndo Button\u201d supported by Metamask or any wallet that supports walletconnect.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two top blockchain assets, in terms of market capitalization, have features that allow users to reverse transactions they sent if the fee was too low or for other reasons. For years now crypto proponents using the Bitcoin (<a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BTC<\/a>) network have been able to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.bitcoin.it\/wiki\/Replace_by_fee\">replace-by-fee (RBF)<\/a> protocol, which essentially allows them to double-spend bitcoin transactions with a higher fee. For instance with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/jc6hrd\/new_release_electrum_404_new_feature_users_can\/\">Electrum wallet release 4.0.4<\/a>, \u201cusers can cancel (double-spend) unconfirmed transactions using RBF,\u201d developers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Bitcoin\/comments\/jc6hrd\/new_release_electrum_404_new_feature_users_can\/\">note<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin.pdf\">inception of Bitcoin<\/a> and the following introduction of RBF a few years later, replace-by-fee or double-spends have always been controversial. For example, the transaction replacement concept has allowed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/btc\/comments\/b0f9fx\/bitcoin_atm_scammers_net_20k_per_day_using_peter\/\">massive theft in certain instances<\/a> and many crypto supporters consider RBF a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/video-shows-how-easy-it-is-to-double-spend-btc-using-rbf\/\">glaring vulnerability<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-423237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-423237 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cryptocabaret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton-300x59.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton-1024x200.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton-768x150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton-696x136.jpg 696w, https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/undobutton-1068x209.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kirobo launched the Undo Button tool on Thursday, November 12, 2020.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite the concerns, RBF remains and on November 12, the startup Kirobo has just introduced a mechanism that allows people to reverse <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETH<\/a> transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRetrievable Transfer will be available to Ethereum users from Thursday, November 12,\u201d Kirobo detailed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accesswire.com\/616322\/Kirobo-Launches-Undo-Button-for-Ethereum-Transactions-With-Added-Protection-Against-Man-in-the-Middle-Attacks\">announcement<\/a>. \u201cInitially, the service will be available for <a class=\"lar-automated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/ETH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETH<\/a> and later on all ERC20 tokens, as well as offering protection against sending funds to smart contracts that don\u2019t support deposits. Available to all Metamask and walletconnect owners, Kirobo\u2019s unique undo feature means that individuals can reclaim funds mistakenly sent to the wrong address.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirobo\u2019s announcement adds:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>The process for Ethereum is identical to that used in Bitcoin transactions. When dispatching digital assets, a password is entered by the sender. Funds are then released only when the recipient enters this same password. If the password is not entered, the sender can retrieve their assets at their convenience. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe use of our logic layer finally eliminates the need to send a test transaction, sharply reducing the level of anxiety users feel when transferring funds to a third party,\u201d Kirobo CEO Asaf Naim explained.<\/p>\n<p>Naim also detailed that the company\u2019s Bitcoin version of the \u201cUndo Button\u201d has been \u201chugely popular in recent months.\u201d Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction fees have skyrocketed during the last few months as well. Additionally, Naim said that Kirobo\u2019s tool will also be supported by Trezor and Ledger in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>The Ethereum version also includes protection against Man-in-the-middle attacks Kirobo revealed as well. The Tel Aviv-based startup says that both bitcoin and ethereum transactions have increased a great deal in recent times. Kirobo thinks that human error will be inevitable and the Undo Buttons will be beneficial to bitcoin and ethereum users.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What do you think about the Undo Button that allows someone to reverse an Ethereum transaction?
