2025 has already seen $3.1B lost to hacks.
650+ protocols under threat.
60,000 whitehats fighting back.
The most valuable part of crypto right now is security.
Let’s talk about what is quietly building the firewall for the onchain economy. 🧵👇

Every ecosystem runs on trust, but in crypto, trust is code.
And that code needs something that can guard it at scale.
We need a security backbone - something capable of safeguarding over $190B in assets across 650+ protocols, from Chainlink to Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon.
With hacks topping $3.1B in 2025 alone, the need is no longer theoretical.
‣ The Problem Many Don’t See
Crypto moves at machine speed. Security still moves at human pace.
Smart contract exploits, multisig breaches, and AI-driven phishing attacks expose billions every year.
2024 saw $2.2B lost. 2025 is already higher
Some existing tools are fragmented, reactive, & dependent on manual reviews
Hackers automate, and defenders respond.
Now, looking at this @immunefi - you`d see it`s building an infrastructure that lets Web3 defend itself in real time.
With this Immunefi, I noticed the model shifted from reaction to prevention
Instead of waiting for exploits, it built a Security (operating system) OS that integrates every layer of defense into one command center
Adaptive & proactive. That’s not marketing, that’s architecture.
‣ Security OS - the Structure
Unified - all audits, bounties, monitoring, and firewalls in a single dashboard (Magnus).
Adaptive - powered by Immunefi AI, trained on the largest vulnerability dataset in Web3.
Proactive - runs continuous threat simulations to block exploits before execution.
This is what onchain firewalls look like - defense at transaction speed.
‣ How It Actually Works - The Stack
Underneath, @immunefi’s system fuses AI, formal verification, fuzzing, and live monitoring.
Immunefi AI (Codexa): learns from 60K+ exploit cases, adapting to new patterns.
Runtime Verification: mathematically proves code correctness.

Fuzzland: auto-generates attack simulations to stress test contracts
Dedaub: powers firewalls that intercept dangerous transactions
Failsafe & Chain Patrol: watch for phishing, impersonation, and community-targeted scams
Multi-layered, blockchain-agnostic, and always learning.

‣ One Platform for Total Security - Magnus
Magnus launched this 2025 as the control hub of onchain defense.
It connects CI/CD pipelines, bounties, AI monitoring, and real-time response.
➛ Highlights:
May: formal verification via Runtime Verification.
July: onchain monitoring with Fuzzland & Failsafe.
Ongoing: AI-native evolution through Codexa, improving detection from behavioral data.
Behind those numbers sits a living network of whitehats, auditors, and AI agents - all building the invisible layer that keeps DeFi intact.
‣ Incentives: The Security Flywheel
Immunefi built what Vitalik once called for - a system that lets people do well by doing good.
The more data Immunefi sees, the smarter it gets, and the safer the ecosystem becomes.
‣ 60,000 Defenders - the Community:
From the first DAO hack to the latest Bybit exploit, Immunefi’s whitehats have become Web3’s front line.
‣ Why Protocols Use @immunefi
For builders, the cost of prevention is small; the cost of compromise is existential.
Average token drops 13% in 48 hours after a hack. Immunefi stops that loss before it starts.

Aave, zkSync, BadgerDAO, and others use it to catch “invisible” issues missed by static audits.
It replaces dozens of siloed tools with one autonomous system.
‣ For Whitehats and Researchers
Immunefi turned hacking into a career. 60,000+ researchers. $121M+ paid out.
Proof-of-concept validation ensures legitimacy, while AI triage removes friction.
‣ Latest Progress (2025)
XRPL Attackathon (Oct 27): $200K competition on uncollateralized lending logic
Belong Network Audit (until Oct 29): $30K + airdrops for Solidity/Cairo audits
Flare FAssets Bounty: $250K program securing wrapped assets
Jito-Solana BAM Client bug bounty is live on @immunefi
Whitehats are ethical hackers/security researchers who identify and report bugs in software, systems, or networks to improve their security
‣ My Opinion
We don`t need more speculation anymore in web3, what we need is protection.
Every protocol that scales without security builds on sand.
@immunefi replaces that with bedrock - the firewall layer for the trillion-dollar onchain economy.
It's definitely worth keeping an eye on, and make sure you follow @immunefi for more information
TGE coming pretty soon
