BlockSec Partners with IOC and AЯMRD to Enhance Web 3.0 Security

Code Auditing
January 17, 2024

Introduction:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of blockchain technology, security remains a paramount concern. As the adoption of Web 3.0 continues to grow, the need for robust security measures becomes more pressing. To address this, BlockSec who conduct cutting-edge research, provide reliable security services and build insightful tools, has formally agreed to partner with Intelligence On Chain's (IOC) brand new suite of services called 'AЯMRD.'

IOC have positioned AЯMRD to become the Ultimate Web 3.0 Help desk, by offering a whole suite of services to new and existing crypto projects, that provide end to end security.

The collaboration between BlockSec, IOC, and AЯMRD marks a significant stride towards fortifying the foundations of decentralised applications. By leveraging cutting-edge tools and high-quality auditing services, the partnership is poised to set new standards for security in the blockchain space, ensuring a safer and more secure future for Web 3.0.

The Partnership:

BlockSec, has entered into a strategic partnership with IOC and AЯMRD to provide advanced auditing services and leverage their innovative tools for enhanced security, within the AЯMRD ecosystem. This collaboration aims to make the Web 3.0 space safer by proactively preventing attacks during both the design and live phases of smart contracts.

Utilising BlockSec's Smart Contract Auditing Services:

BlockSec's smart contract auditing services play a pivotal role in securing smart contracts. By thoroughly reviewing the codebase and identifying vulnerabilities, BlockSec ensures that smart contracts are resistant to potential exploits. This proactive approach is essential in preventing security breaches that could compromise the integrity of decentralised applications (DApps).

Phalcon: A Cutting-Edge Security Solution:

As part of this collaboration, BlockSec will deploy BlockSec Phalcon as a part of AЯMRD, the Web 3.0 Helpdesk allowing IOC to offer attack detecting and automated defense for protocols as a part of its package. Phalcon employs state-of-the-art techniques to identify and mitigate potential threats as they occur and prior to the attacked being confirmed on the blockchain, significantly reducing the impact of vulnerabilities in their smart contracts. Phalcon will be combined with many more offerings (within AЯMRD) and available through a subscription model.

IOC commits to using MetaSleuth exclusively:

In an effort to provide all-round comprehensive security package, IOC has agreed to exclusively utilise MetaSleuth as its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) visualisation tool, which has unique advantages in cross-chain analysis, intelligently displaying key pathways, and matching flashswap transactions. In the event that a client is exposed to a hack or exploit, IOC will pursue the attackers using MetaSleuth, a long time preferred tool.

Making Web 3.0 Safer:

The combined efforts of BlockSec, IOC, and AЯMRD represent a significant step forward in making Web 3.0 safer for users and developers alike. By incorporating smart contract auditing services, advanced security tools like Phalcon, and real-time visualisation with MetaSleuth, the partnership aims to create a resilient blockchain ecosystem that withstands potential attacks.

Tether Freezes $6.76M USDT Linked to Iran's IRGC & Houthi Forces: Why On-Chain Compliance is Now a Geopolitical Battlefield

Looking ahead, targeted freezing events like this $6.76M USDT action will only become more common. On-chain data analysis is improving. Stablecoin issuers are also working closely with regulators. As a result, hidden illicit financial networks will be exposed.

Weekly Web3 Security Incident Roundup | Mar 2 – Mar 8, 2026

During the week of March 2 to March 8, 2026, seven blockchain security incidents were reported with total losses of ~$3.25M. The incidents occurred across Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum, exposing critical vulnerabilities in smart contract business logic, token deflationary mechanics, and asset price manipulation. The primary causes included a double-minting logic flaw during full token deposits that allowed an attacker to exponentially inflate their balances through repeated burn-and-mint cycles, a price manipulation vulnerability in an AMM-based lending market where artificially inflated vault shares created divergent price anchors to incorrectly force healthy positions into liquidation, and a flawed access control implementation relying on trivially spoofed contract interfaces that enabled attackers to bypass authorization to batch-mint and dump arbitrary tokens.

Weekly Web3 Security Incident Roundup | Feb 23 – Mar 1, 2026

During the week of February 23 to March 1, 2026, seven blockchain security incidents were reported with total losses of ~$13M. The incidents affected multiple protocols, exposing critical weaknesses in oracle design/configuration, cryptographic verification, and core business logic. The primary drivers included oracle manipulation/misconfiguration that led to the largest loss at YieldBloxDAO (~$10M), a crypto-proof verification flaw that enabled the FOOMCASH (~$2.26M) exploit, and additional token design and logic errors impacting Ploutos, LAXO, STO, HedgePay, and an unknown contract, underscoring the need for rigorous audits and continuous monitoring across all protocol layers.
