From Bridges to Ecosystem-Wide Protection: Starknet's Security Journey

Starknet, one of Hypernative's earliest customers, first introduced real-time monitoring to detect exploits targeting its bridges before expanding coverage to the core protocol. In June 2023, Starknet extended protection to projects building in its ecosystem.

About Starknet

‍

Starknet is a Layer-2 blockchain that operates on top of Ethereum and uses ZK-Rollup technology to scale. The technology allows for higher throughput at a lower execution cost and enables applications building on the protocol to scale without compromising on security. Starknet is home to over 16,000 live accounts and hundreds of dApps, wallets and services.

‍

“Hypernative's real-time detection and response solution completed our security arrangement by adding an active component to existing audits and bounties. Now, as growth reaches an inflection point, we extend that protection to projects in the Starknet ecosystem and their users.”

Smart contracts call for smarter security. Hypernative monitors both onchain and offchain data sources in real time to stop hacks with the fastest and most-reliable threat detection and response in Web3. Hypernative Platform accurately identifies over 200 risk types from smart contract hacks and bridge security incidents to frontend compromises, market manipulations and private key theft.

‍

Hypernative Platform uses battle-tested, sophisticated machine learning models, heuristics, simulations, and graph-based detections to identify threats with high accuracy and give customers precious minutes to respond before exploits can do damage. The system monitors security, technical, financial, governance and other risks. Hypernative Platform detected 99.5% of hacks last year with less than 0.001% false positive rate and saved more than $50 million of customer funds to date.

‍

Over 100 Web3 projects already rely on Hypernative’s real-time enterprise-grade platform that monitors over $37B worth of digital assets across more than 30 chains. The list includes Balancer, Berachain, Chainalysis, Chainlink, Circle, Ethena, Ether.fi, Flare, Galaxy Digital, Karpatkey, Linea, Messari, OlympusDAO, Radiant Capital, Sei Networks, Starknet, Woo Finance, and more.
