BlockSec and Blockscout Join Forces for Advanced Transaction Analysis

MetaSuites
March 26, 2024

The Blockscout blockchain explorer has integrated MetaSuites' address labels (Ethereum, Polygon, Gnosis, Optimism and Base) and GPT-powered transaction explanation (Ethereum) feature, and has also added quick access to Phalcon Explorer.

Address Labels

When navigating the complex strings of code representing addresses in a blockchain explorer, how can one effectively extract valuable information?

Thanks to our deep technical knowledge and long-term data collection efforts, MetaSuites has developed an extensive database encompassing over 20 major public blockchains, complete with over 300 million labeled addresses. Empowered by MetaSuites, Blockscout users can easily identify a variety of addresses such as:

  • exchange deposit and withdrawal addresses
  • project addresses (e.g. DeFi and NFT project addresses)
  • whitehat hacker addresses & blackhat hacker addresses
  • scammer addresses

This streamlines the DYOR process, empowering users to better understand the entities involved.

GPT-powered Transaction Explanation

With the growth of DeFi, on-chain transactions have gone beyond traditional bookkeeping to involve complex smart contract executions, making it increasingly difficult for the average user to understand the transactions. For instance:

  • Investigating trading counterparts often ends in vain due to the difficulty in comprehending historical transactions.
  • Upon investigating stolen funds using a blockchain explorer, one may find themselves unable to understand what happened.

Powered by GPT, MetaSuites assists users in comprehending transactions through easy-to-understand, natural language explanations.

Try these transactions: 1, 2, 3, 4

  • 1: on-chain message
  • 2: borrowing
  • 3: staking
  • 4: phishing scam

With the transaction explanation feature, Blockscout users can now easily understand what took place in a transaction: at what time, which address performed what action with another address, and even receive insights regarding suspicious transactions or phishing scams.

Phalcon Explorer Quick Access

Blockscout has integrated quick access to Phalcon Explorer. This enhances the experience for Blockscout users since they can directly have a transaction visualization tool.

Beyond basic transaction information, Phalcon Explorer visually illustrates additional details of a transaction, including:

  • Fund flow
  • Balance changes
  • Gas profiler
  • State changes
  • Invocation flow

Users can also switch to multi-screen debug mode with a single click in the Invocation Flow section.

Additionally, Phalcon Explorer supports transaction simulation at any block height and position, allowing users to preview the execution result in advance.

The introduction of the Phalcon Explorer quick access fulfills the requirements of traders, developers, and security researchers for conducting complex transaction analysis, debugging, and simulations.

Conclusion

We're confident that this collaboration will provide Blockscout users with detailed and insightful address and transaction information, streamlining their analysis process and enabling smarter, more secure trading decisions.

Newsletter - April 2026

In April 2026, the DeFi ecosystem experienced three major security incidents. KelpDAO lost ~$290M due to an insecure 1-of-1 DVN bridge configuration exploited via RPC infrastructure compromise, Drift Protocol suffered ~$285M from a multisig governance takeover leveraging Solana's durable nonce mechanism, and Rhea Finance incurred ~$18.4M following a business logic flaw in its margin-trading module that allowed circular swap path manipulatio

~$7.04M Lost: GiddyDefi, Volo Vault & More | BlockSec Weekly

This BlockSec weekly security report covers eight attack incidents detected between April 20 and April 26, 2026, across Ethereum, Avalanche, Sui, Base, HyperLiquid, and MegaETH, with total estimated losses of approximately $7.04M. The highlighted incident is the $1.3M GiddyDefi exploit, where the attacker did not break any cryptography or use a flash loan but simply replayed an existing on-chain EIP-712 signature with the unsigned `aggregator` and `fromToken` fields swapped out for a malicious contract, demonstrating how partial signature coverage turns any historical signature into a generic permit. Other incidents include a $3.5M Volo Vault operator key compromise on Sui, a $1.5M Purrlend privileged-role takeover, a $413K SingularityFinance oracle misconfiguration, a $142.7K Scallop cross-pool index injection, a $72.35K Kipseli Router decimal mismatch, a $50.7K REVLoans (Juicebox) accounting pollution, and a $64K Custom Rebalancer arbitrary-call exploit.

The Decentralization Dilemma: Cascading Risk and Emergency Power in the KelpDAO Crisis

This BlockSec deep-dive analyzes the KelpDAO $290M rsETH cross-chain bridge exploit (April 18, 2026), attributed to the Lazarus Group, tracing a causal chain across three layers: how a single-point DVN dependency enabled the attack, how DeFi composability cascaded the damage through Aave V3 lending markets to freeze WETH liquidity exceeding $6.7B across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea, and how the crisis forced decentralized governance to exercise centralized emergency powers. The article examines three parameters that shaped the cascade's severity (LTV, pool depth, and cross-chain deployment count) and provides an exclusive technical breakdown of Arbitrum Security Council's forced state transition, an atomic contract upgrade that moved 30,766 ETH without the holder's signature.
