We are glad to announce that BlockSec has closed the seed funding raising that was led by Fenbushi Capital, with participation from A&T Capital, Qulian, Impossible Finance, Incuba Alpha and NEAR MetaWeb Ventures.

Founded in 2021, BlockSec has served over 50 clients and has protected over thousands of millions worth of digital assets in this year. It has the online transaction virtualization system for both BSC and Ethereum (https://tx.blocksecteam.com) and Flash Loan monitoring system (https://versatile.blocksecteam.com/flashloan) for both Ethereum and Cronos.

The BlockSec Team focuses on the security of the blockchain ecosystem, and collaborates with leading DeFi projects to secure their products. The team is founded by top-notch security researchers and experienced experts from both academia and industry. They have published multiple blockchain security papers in prestigious conferences, reported several zero-day attacks of DeFi applications, and released detailed analysis reports of high impact security incidents.

~$16M Lost: DxSale, SquidRouterModule & More | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly security report covers 5 notable attack incidents between May 25 and May 31, 2026, with combined losses of approximately $16M across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Cosmos. Key incidents include the DxSale token locker exploit ($7.3M) involving three missing state updates compounded by a deployer key compromise, the SquidRouterModule exploit ($3.2M) caused by improper input validation in an Axelar Bridge integration that allowed forged cross-chain messages to drain 86 Safe wallets, and the Gravity Bridge signing key compromise ($5.4M). Other incidents involve a compromised deployer key (Stake DAO, $91K) and a vulnerable off-chain bridge backend (Alephium, $300K).

In May 2026, the DeFi ecosystem experienced three major security incidents. Echo Protocol lost ~$76.7M due to an administrator key compromise that enabled unauthorized minting of unbacked eBTC on Monad, StablR suffered ~$12.8M from a multisig governance breach leading to unauthorized stablecoin issuance, and the Verus-Ethereum Bridge incurred ~$11.7M following a type-validation failure that allowed a crafted supplemental export to be misclassified as a valid primary export.
