How Blockaid Monitors On-Chain Threats, Responds to Exploits, and Secures the Crypto Ecosystem

Tracking Crypto Laundering Patterns and Building Faster Defenses

Security Culture and AI Automation in Crypto
Takeaway
Automate the repetitive checks that need no judgment, and spend your people on design decisions and the threats you actually face this quarter.

What the guests keep coming back to

Patterns across episodes, from people who run security, respond to incidents and price risk for a living.

Own security before the audit

A critical finding at audit means the internal process missed it. Guests from Agora, SVRN and Gauntlet describe the testing, threat modeling and continuous risk monitoring the audit sits on top of.

Decide the response before the incident

An alert only helps if someone already knows what to do with it. zeroShadow and Circuit describe pre-agreed procedures, small response teams and automated action that moves faster than a war room.

Enforce the repeatable, keep judgment human

Checks that give the same answer every run belong in automation that can block a release or a signature. Design decisions, threat models and agent permissions still need people who know the domain.

Trust, Velocity, and Verifiability: Securing the Convergence of Enterprise, AI, and Web3

Why Audited Protocols Keep Getting Hacked

What the Crypto Industry Gets Wrong About Security
Takeaway
Keep the response team small in the first 24 hours, flag stolen addresses right away, and line up law enforcement contacts before you need them.

Why Billion-Dollar Protocols Are Still Getting Hacked (And What Actually Stops It)
Takeaway
Protect the assets, not only the keys. Plan an automated response for the moment a control fails, because people can't react that fast.

Why the Lone Wolf Auditor Era Is Ending
Takeaway
Oracles for low-liquidity assets and RWAs are easier to move than major crypto feeds, so calibrate risk to the asset, not the provider.

Beyond Audits: Building Security from the Foundation Up
