Someone just made a massive withdrawal, several market prices have crashed, your support and social media are in panic…

By the time stolen and hacked crypto reach your exchange, it’s already too late!

Stolen assets are moved, laundered and lost in seconds – not minutes or hours. MonitorChain is the first ever on-chain Ethereum based alert protocol for use as an Oracle in Smart Contracts specifically designed for securing exchanges. Read on to learn more, or…

With MonitorChain Your Exchange Will be Protected Against the Next…

batch/proxyOverflow Exploit

April, 2018 – A previously undiscovered critical vulnerability in some ERC20 tokens allows hackers to mint trillions of counterfeit tokens of over a dozen cryptocurrencies, most notably Beauty Coin and SmartMesh. Chaos ensues as these newly minted tokens are dumped on exchanges, buying out the entire order book. Undetected for hours after each successive hack, exchanges – scrambling to prevent damages and unaware which tokens are vulnerable, are forced to suspect trading of all ERC tokens for days. Millions of dollars worth of counterfeit tokens are successfully laundered and exchanged for BTC, ETH and XMR which is then withdrawn, leaving traders, exchanges, and the token creators holding the bag.

With MonitorChain:

The creation of trillions of counterfeit tokens by hackers would immediately set off the highest levels off both the Minting Rule and Large Transfer alerts on MonitorChain. Exchanges would receive critical warnings within seconds of the hacks occurring, long before the fake tokens reach their order books. Automated trading suspensions prevent any token dumping and no traders lose their ETH/BTC. Exchanges also benefit in opportunity costs, as they are able to disable only the impacted ERC tokens and are not forced to disable all of them, saving valuable trading fees that would otherwise be lost.

Monero Gold Exit Scam

February, 2018 – The creators of a suspicious $4m ICO execute the final step of their exit scam, exploiting a backdoor hidden in the token contract’s burn function to create an infinite number of new tokens, which they promptly sent to CoinExchange.io and dumped onto unsuspecting traders, tanking the price to zero. The Monero Gold website was replaced with a ‘friendly’ message, and the exchange used their own funds to repurchase from spurned traders as a ‘buy wall,’ which did not fully cover the losses and left token holders to suffer considerable losses, along with badly damaging the exchange’s reputation with substantial bad press.

With MonitorChain:

The moment the rogue developers executed their backdoor, MonitorChain’s Minting Rule alert would send a critical alert to CoinExchange.io enabling them to freeze trading before a single trade was made. The fraudulent ICO would still have occurred, but at least the exchange would no longer be caught up in the aftermath. A negative situation could be spun into a positive through quick action to mitigate losses, which in turn builds trust in an exchange leading to more users, more volume, and most importantly more trading fee revenue.

Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Service Dev Reserve Hack

February, 2018 – 18.7 million BAR tokens are stolen from the Titanium Blockchain Infrastructure Service internal reserve wallets. Despite being held in multisig wallets, these tokens are moved en masse. The company attempts to downplay fears with a series of announcements. Several days later, many stolen find their way to exchanges, where they are dumped, dropping the price by 90% in hours. The company later hard fork their token contract and attempt to move forward, but issues continue, with confusion as some exchanges continue listing the old token. The founder of TBIS is later arrested by the SEC on charges related to its ICO. A situation this hack certainly did not help.

With MonitorChain:

Millions of tokens moving from a secure multisig wallet of the largest holding address for the entire token immediately sets off MonitorChain’s Smart Control Rule Violations and Large Transfer Alerts, providing substantial technical details to allow exchanges to make informed decisions on whether to suspend trading rather than trusting the false assurances of the developers. Exchanges shut off trading promptly and avoid the embarrassment of having stolen tokens dumped on their users four days after a theft. TBIS’s problems stay in house, sparing exchanges and traders from collateral damage losses.

The DAO Hack

June 2016 – The first major smart contract hack, and still the most well-known; programmers in a race against time after a vulnerability is exposed are unable to outwit a hacker who manages to siphon over 3.6m ETH – over 15% of all Ether in circulation. The price drops by 30% in the immediate aftermath. Numerous mitigation and soft fork proposals fail to find a solution leading to the most drastic event in Ethereum’s history, a hard fork which divides the community and leaves Ethereum Classic as a separate chain.

With MonitorChain:

The nature of the DAO’s child funds provided exchanges protection in that funds were locked for 28 days, preventing dumping on exchange. The ensuing hard fork mitigated the situation before such an event could occur. Given how much Ethereum has grown since this incident, it is unlikely exchanges will be so lucky should a similar hack occur. MonitorChain would have detected the incident as a Smart Contract Rule Violation, and along with the Transaction Tracer, allowed exchanges to blacklist the stolen funds and prevent market dumping.

The Next Big Hack…

Internal security can only go so far. Crypto has brought out the best and brightest thieves across the globe. Security is an ever evolving cat and mouse game where hackers have a major advantage – they only need to win once. This problem is amplified further by the immutable nature of the blockchain and the permanent uneditable nature of smart contracts. By detecting the signs of hacks and theft rather than just trying to prevent it, MonitorChain provides an essential last line of defense that no exchange should be without.
