Spotter’s Digest №7

We’ll go over all of our work from May 2023 to June 2023 with you and summarize all of the particularly important Spotter-related events in the upcoming digest piece.

Our proactive alert system against crypto exploits has only gotten better over this time!

So today, in the following digest piece, we’ll talk about the most recent news, how it affects (and will affect) industry and our Spotter project, and, of course, we’ll explain our Pessimistic Spotter on-chain monitoring & defense service functionality in a more detailed way!

According to the questions, the audience has several points that need to be discussed further. That’s exactly what we’ll do next!


Spotter’s Trinity

We currently offer three versions: public, advanced, and custom solution for projects. While we are testing Spotter you can try it for free already!

If you are a project/app/protocol representative or need assistance setting up monitoring or protection, fill out the form for the custom version.

But first, let’s start with the public version!

Public Channel

Unlike the private version, the public version (this channel) reveals attacks selectively and does not allow you to track a specific address, check it out:

We’ve written about it in previous issues of our digest, but the public version has publicly confirmed our successes several times, such as spotting the attack on Euler and so on. That was a critical step toward our next objective, so let’s move on to the next solution!

Advanced Spotter

So, we’ve updated our private bot and are now ready to make it available to everyone without a queue: @attackdetectorbot

What is the difference between a private bot and a public channel?

  • You can now choose which alerts you want to receive in the private bot. You can also subscribe to those linked to specific contracts or well-known protocols that interest you;

  • In the private bot, you can now configure a risk-level of alerts;

  • In the public bot, we only reveal a portion of the global alerts; in the private bot, you can see everything Spotter discovers.

Your comments are very much appreciated. It’s important for us to keep in touch with the community, so please don’t hesitate to DM us!

Some news from our ‘‘parent’’ auditing company that we think is important enough to mention!

  • Several security audits have been successfully performed! By the way, here are some vacant slots so if your project needs an audit — feel free to write to us, visit our public reports page here!

  • This month, we completed another successful study, check it out:

We would like to thank the organizers and everyone we met there!

  • Additionally, we have a lot of work to do and are conducting some research concurrently; Our Slitherin received an optimization update for the read-only reentrancy detector. According to our benchmarks, the FP rate decreased down to 1%:

In the near future, we intend to pitch Spotter at a significant number of conferences and turn on protection for a couple of our cordial DeFi protocols. This year promises to be full with exciting events!
