Post-Audit Protection: Why Continuous Monitoring is Essential
For years, smart contract security has revolved around audits, bug bounty programs, and reactive responses to exploits. However, as DeFi and on-chain applications grow, post-deployment security is becoming increasingly critical. An audit is just the beginning—ongoing monitoring ensures that emerging threats are detected and addressed before they evolve into costly exploits. Join us at ETHDenver 2025 to learn more about this crucial process.
Granular, Customizable Monitoring Agents on Demand
Dedaub’s monitoring system enables fully customizable agents by leveraging DedaubQL, a highly expressive and performant declarative language tailored for blockchain security monitoring. DedaubQL allows protocols to define and check invariants and adapt our threat detection algorithms to their particular logic and concerns.
The execution model of DedaubQL ensures that monitoring agents operate continuously and with minimal delay, updating alerts in real-time as new blockchain data becomes available.
By enabling protocols to construct custom agents that can detect anomalies specific to their architecture—such as liquidity imbalances, unexpected contract interactions, or unauthorized fund movements—Dedaub’s monitoring suite provides a fine-tuned, protocol-specific defense mechanism.
About ETHDenver 2025
ETHDenver 2025 will once again transform Denver into a global hotspot for blockchain innovation, continuing the momentum built in previous years.

The Dedaub Security Suite continues to evolve with features designed to simplify blockchain transaction monitoring and security analysis. These new capabilities address Web3 challenges and empower developers, security professionals, and organizations to work more effectively. Here’s an overview of what’s new.
Blockchain Transaction Monitoring Available to Free-Tier Users
We are excited to offer all registered users free access to Blockchain Transaction Monitoring queries.
With our free plan, users can set up monitoring bots or queries to track on-chain activities and trigger custom actions through webhooks. These tools allow users to flag unusual transactions or stay alert to specific on-chain events, empowering them to maintain vigilant oversight of their projects. Blockchain transaction monitoring is essential for this oversight.
(For the free tier of the application, there are limits in how many queries can be running simultaneously, or generating alerts.)
Monitoring agents are now network-agnostic, meaning they can track activities across multiple blockchains, like Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. Blockchain transaction monitoring across these networks is now more efficient.
For example, a DeFi project that runs on Ethereum and Binance can now monitor high-value token transfers and detect suspicious behavior on both networks simultaneously. Updated macros make configuring these cross-chain queries easy, ensuring seamless and efficient monitoring.
Public Function-Based Similarity
Identifying patterns across contracts is now more straightforward. The Public Function-Based Similarity feature allows users to find contracts with similar functions to their target contract. This feature uses large language models (LLMs) to detect similarities.
Enhanced Monitoring Editor
The updated monitoring editor simplifies the query writing process, making it faster and more intuitive. The query language server now offers real-time suggestions, including table and macro names, helping users quickly identify the correct syntax and options for their monitoring requirements. Additionally, the revamped error reporting system accurately identifies issues in queries, such as undefined variables or incorrect filters, and provides actionable feedback to help users resolve these issues. This is especially useful for blockchain transaction monitoring queries.
Monitoring Star Rating System
The Monitoring Star Rating System within the Dedaub Security Suite allows users to quickly provide feedback on monitoring queries. Using this star rating system to share their experiences, users contribute to a valuable library of insights that assist others in finding the right tools to meet their needs. This approach ensures the platform stays focused on practical, real-world use cases.
Blockchain Transaction Monitoring Folders for Organization
The new monitoring folders feature allows users to systematically organize queries systematically, ensuring better clarity and accessibility within the Dedaub Security Suite. Users can navigate their query library quickly and maintain a cleaner workspace by categorizing queries into dedicated folders for better blockchain transaction monitoring.
Advanced RPC Fetch Functions
The latest Dedaub Security Suite introduces advanced monitoring capabilities that support external REST API requests. Five new functions allow users to incorporate data from external sources directly into their monitoring queries. The system supports HTTP GET, POST, and PUT requests.
Results from the requests can be joined against results from other tables.
In total, there are 5 new functions:
http_get() for all GET requests
http_get_json() for GET requests that return json strings
http_get_json_array() for GET requests that return json arrays
http_post() for POST requests
http_put() for PUT requests
Cross-Chain Contract Lists
With the new cross-chain contract lists feature, users can manage contract data spanning multiple blockchain networks in one unified list. For instance, users can create a single list to monitor contracts deployed on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks. This helps streamline blockchain transaction monitoring across networks.
Annotate and Share Transaction Traces
Transaction traces now support annotations, making it easier to interpret complex data. Users can add custom highlights and aliases to addresses and share these annotated traces with their team for collaborative analysis.
Blockchain Monitoring + contract lists = ♥️
Users can now incorporate contract lists into their monitoring query.
Improved Gnosis Proxy Support
We’ve added better support for Gnosis proxies to our Security Suite! You can now interact with the proxy using the underlying implementation ABI.
Advanced Code View
Play around with our new advanced code view in the decompiler and projects! The new code view allows multiple code representations to open concurrently in a split panel, with the ability to synchronize the two in some cases.

Today, I’d like to share my personal experience as a member of SEAL 911, the emergency hotline that assists Web3 projects in protecting their assets in case of hacks or malicious attacks.
I’ve been part of SEAL 911 since October 2023 and I witnessed:
Numerous vulnerability disclosures.
War rooms were set up to prevent the exploitation of live vulnerabilities or help protocols that were actively being exploited.
Many cases where individuals’ funds were stolen either because of investment scams, phishing attacks, or even drainer malware.
I had the opportunity to see many of the industry’s top security experts in action and gain useful insights.
Aside from addressing code vulnerabilities, SEAL 911 can also provide significant assistance in the area of on-chain forensics. Although this requires considerable time and effort, members of SEAL have been able to track the movement of stolen funds and provide victims with helpful information to report to law enforcement authorities. By effectively coordinating with authorities, the victim can often freeze stolen funds and even identify the perpetrators of the malicious activities.
With the increase in cryptocurrency capitalization, bad actors will continue attempting to steal funds from users by exploiting code vulnerabilities, stealing users’ wallet information, or even tricking users into sending the funds themselves. This poses a threat to the security of De.FI. As we have seen repeatedly, the most vulnerable group is non-tech-savvy regular users, so it is important to spread good operational security (op-sec) practices and fundamental cryptocurrency knowledge to the public.
What is Security Alliance (SEAL)
Security Alliance (SEAL), established with the support of blockchain innovators, has rapidly become a key asset of Web3 security. Before its public debut on February 14, 2024, SEAL connected users, developers, and experts to offer free Web3 simulation exercises.
Seal’s goal is to improve the security of the blockchain and cryptocurrency system by supporting security researchers and removing barriers that could prevent them from taking immediate action to safeguard protocols. The initial members include security teams at Paradigm, a16z crypto, and Dedaub, who have played a key role in significant recovery efforts. Seal’s programs include rapid response, legal assistance, and developer security training.
The Security Alliance (SEAL) offers several initiatives to enhance security. These include SEAL 911, a 24/7 emergency response hotline, and SEAL Wargames team exercises designed to identify and address vulnerabilities. Additionally, the Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement provides legal protection for white-hat hackers participating in fund rescues, and the Legal Defense Fund supports researchers dealing with legal challenges. SEAL operates as a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to protect the decentralized internet. For more information, please visit the Security Alliance.
What is SEAL 911?
SEAL 911 is a 24/7 emergency hotline for incident response, vulnerability disclosures, and other security issues in blockchain and crypto. It provides immediate assistance to address security threats quickly, ensuring expert help is available to mitigate risks and prevent damage.
Collaborative Defense: Working quickly with platform teams to temporarily pause contracts that have been hacked, when applicable.
Evolving Threats: Growing sophistication in cyberattacks requiring advanced strategies.
Rapid Response: Speed and coordination prevent losses and restore confidence.
What Are the SEAL Wargames?
SEAL conducts SEAL Wargames and red team exercises to help developers prepare for security incidents. These simulated attacks help identify weaknesses and improve defense strategies. Many developers have never experienced the high-intensity environment of a security incident before. It can be challenging to stay focused and productive when every second could potentially mean millions of additional dollars lost to attackers. The SEAL Chaos Team provides projects with the resources and training to respond to the worst-case scenarios.
Each wargame consists of two phases:
1. A tabletop exercise in which the Chaos Team presents hypothetical attack scenarios to project developers and notes potential weaknesses.
2. A simulated attack in which the Chaos Team exploits a vulnerability on a test network and challenges the project developers to set up an incident war room, triage the exploit, and remediate the situation.
Yannis Smaragdakis and I from the Dedaub Security search team are currently active members of SEAL 911.
Conclusion
As a member of SEAL 911, I have seen firsthand how critical our role is in securing the Web3 ecosystem. The collaborative efforts and rapid response capabilities we’ve developed are essential in combating the evolving threats in the crypto space. Working with some of the brightest minds in the field has been invaluable, and I’m proud to contribute to a safer, more resilient blockchain community.
