    Yes, it is possible to whitelist a blockchain-based app in Windows Defender. You can do this by adding the app to the exclusions list in Windows Defender settings. Here's how: 1. Open Windows Defender Security Center. 2. Go to Virus & threat protection settings. 3. Scroll down to Exclusions and click on 'Add or remove exclusions'. 4. Click on 'Add an exclusion' and select 'Folder' or 'File' depending on the type of app you want to whitelist. 5. Browse and select the folder or file of the blockchain-based app. 6. Click 'Open' to add it to the exclusions list. By adding the app to the exclusions list, Windows Defender will no longer block it and you'll be able to use it without any issues.
