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.

~$104.6M Lost: Verus, RetoSwap & More | BlockSec Weekly

This BlockSec weekly security report covers 5 notable attack incidents identified between May 18 and May 24, 2026, with total estimated losses of approximately $104.6M. Two incidents are analyzed in detail: the highlighted $11.7M Verus-Ethereum Bridge exploit, where a type-validation failure allowed a handcrafted supplemental export output to be misclassified as a valid primary export; and the $2.7M RetoSwap exploit on Monero, where a protocol-level authentication flaw in the P2P trade flow allowed an attacker to hijack the arbitrator role via a forged ACK message. Three additional key compromise incidents (EchoProtocol, Polymarket, StablR) accounted for ~$90.2M.

~$4.72M Lost: TAC, Transit Finance & More | BlockSec Weekly

This BlockSec weekly security report covers 3 notable attack incidents identified between May 11 and May 17, 2026, across TRON, TON, and Ethereum, with total estimated losses of approximately $4.72M. Three incidents are analyzed in detail: the highlighted $1.88M Transit Finance exploit on TRON, where a deprecated swap bridge contract with lingering token approvals was exploited through arbitrary calldata forwarding; the $2.8M TAC TON-to-EVM bridge exploit caused by missing canonical wallet verification in the jetton deposit flow; and the $46.75K Boost Hook exploit on Ethereum, where spot price manipulation on a Uniswap V4 hook-based perpetual protocol forced the protocol to buy tokens at inflated prices using its own reserves.
