Blockaid extends on-chain monitoring: Infrastructure failures cause 74% of cryptocurrency losses

Blockaid expands its on-chain monitoring suite to deal with increasingly complex cryptographic attacks

On September 10, Blockaid, an on-chain security platform adopted by major platforms such as Coinbase, MetaMask and Uniswap, announced that as cryptographic attacks gradually spread from the smart contract itself to its surrounding infrastructure, Blockaid is expanding the functional scope of its "Onchain Monitoring" suite.

The New York-based company pointed out that 74% of the value of stolen crypto assets in the first half of 2026 originated from operational vulnerabilities and infrastructure damage, rather than traditional smart contract vulnerabilities. According to a statement released by the company, the number of such incidents is approximately 3.4 times that of the whole of 2025.

From smart contract flaws to risks of shared infrastructure

Blockaid warns that a compromised signing key, outdated deployment version, vulnerable third-party protocol, or shared infrastructure components can expose all assets and applications connected to it. To this end, its upgraded suite aims to continuously identify changes in the organization's on-chain footprint and surrounding risks over time.

This update adds three core capabilities: continuously discovering on-chain exposures, mapping third-party dependencies, and detecting ecosystem-wide risks before threats touch team assets.

Combining detection with automated response

The system monitor not only tracks market liquidity signals (such as mass liquidations, liquidity changes, oracle deviations, and APR fluctuations), but also monitors privileged activities (including contract upgrades, ownership changes, role grants, suspension events, and parameter updates). When suspicious activity occurs, Blockaid combines real-time machine learning with automated investigations, using agents to check contract bytecodes, parse agent contracts, analyze permissions, track internal calls, and simulate transactions to determine whether abnormal activity poses an actual threat.

In addition, the detection results will be fed back and processed through an automated on-chain fuse mechanism and an all-weather Incident Response Service Center.

Why broader exposure has changed the security landscape

This shift is critical because vulnerabilities involving shared infrastructure, governance systems, and privilege control can now affect multiple protocols simultaneously, as has been confirmed by recent events, such as the attack flagged by Blockaid that cost Summer.fi$6 million.

For market makers and hedge funds, the kit can warn before external agreement failures affect positions; for issuers, it can track each deployment and the infrastructure behind it; and for the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, it shows how accidents spread before the explosion radius expands.

Blockaid said that since 2025, the platform has scanned more than 6.3 billion transactions and intercepted 585 million attacks.
