With over $2.17 billion stolen from cryptocurrency services in the first half of 2025, protecting decentralized finance and web3 protocols from hackers, operational faults, governance attacks, and financial exploits has never been more urgent. This requires continuous investment in proactive prevention, including data security infrastructure, tooling, and collaboration across the ecosystem.
A unified front: Protecting chains, developers, and end-users
To strengthen the ecosystem, we are teaming up with blockchain foundations to not only secure the chains themselves but also offer free access to a tailored version of Hexagate for developers building protocols on those networks.
What is Hexagate? The real-time on-chain security layer
Hexagate is a runtime security platform for on-chain environments that detects active attacks and helps teams stop them before losses occur. Where traditional cybersecurity protects servers and clouds, Hexagate protects your smart contracts, transactions, and assets on-chain – the part legacy tools can’t reach.
For chains: End-to-end infrastructure integrity
Chain security teams face a critical and complex mission in safeguarding infrastructure and treasuries. Leading blockchains are now adopting Hexagate to ensure end-to-end on-chain security, providing protections including:
- Real-Time Threat Intelligence: Instant awareness of emerging attack vectors.
- Ecosystem-Wide Monitoring: Comprehensive surveillance of all on-chain activity.
- Wallet Compromise Detection: Early identification of compromised operational and treasury wallets.
- Automated Risk Mitigation: Tools to prevent exploits and ensure the integrity of the blockchain network.
We are proud to partner with industry leaders including: Base, Avalanche, Plasma, MegaETH, Polygon, Cronos, Immutable, and more.
For developers: Free, AI-powered protocol protection
Building a web3 protocol is a monumental task. As a builder, you must continually balance a complex landscape of product innovation, exceptional user experience, sustainable tokenomics, efficient onboarding, and massive scaling.
Yet, the entire foundation rests on security. It is the single most critical and challenging frontier, where a single exploit can lead to catastrophic financial losses and destroy user trust.
Through our strategic partnership with blockchain foundations, we are thrilled to offer builders on select chains free, tailored access to Hexagate. This benefit equips your project with proactive security infrastructure at no cost.
Is Your Protocol Eligible?
If you are currently developing on one of the following chains, your project may qualify for free access to Hexagate:
Safer experiences for end-users
Our collective goal is to build a robust and trusted ecosystem. Hexagate’s commitment to proactive protection and clear visibility into ecosystem security enhances trust and transparency for all participants. By securing individual protocols and the chain infrastructure, we prevent users from becoming victims of exploits that could impact the wider network.
Malicious on-chain activity is escalating in both frequency and complexity. From sophisticated phishing schemes to social engineering exploits, threat actors are adapting quickly, and so must our defenses. We’re here for you.
