Introduction

As the blockchain industry continues to grow, the security of EVM Chains remains a critical concern. In 2024, several significant trends and developments are shaping the landscape of EVM Chain audits. This blog will explore the key aspects to watch out for in EVM Chain audits this year, with a specific focus on BlockSec's comprehensive solutions, highlighting their strengths in addressing pain points faced by users.

1. Enhanced Security Measures: Mitigating the Risk of Attacks

With the rise of sophisticated attacks, users face the constant threat of security breaches within EVM Chains. BlockSec's audits focus on implementing enhanced security measures to mitigate these risks. By conducting rigorous code reviews, architecture analysis, and penetration testing, BlockSec identifies vulnerabilities, providing users with actionable insights to fortify their EVM Chains and protect user assets. This proactive approach addresses the pain point of security concerns and instills confidence in the system.

2. Holistic Approach to Audits: Ensuring Comprehensive Protection

BlockSec's holistic approach to audits provides a comprehensive evaluation of the technical, business, and financial aspects of the audited projects. By considering all dimensions, BlockSec helps users identify and address potential pain points, ensuring their EVM Chains are robust and secure.

3. Expertise in EVM-Compatible Chains: Navigating Complexities with Ease

Users exploring EVM-compatible chains, such as Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche, often face challenges in understanding the unique characteristics and potential vulnerabilities of these platforms. BlockSec's expertise in auditing EVM-compatible chains allows them to navigate the complexities and provide users with targeted solutions. By identifying vulnerabilities specific to each platform and offering tailored recommendations, BlockSec addresses the pain points associated with security risks in EVM-compatible chains.

4. Smart Contract Audits: Ensuring Reliable and Bug-Free Contracts

Smart contracts serve as the backbone of EVM Chains, but they can be susceptible to bugs and vulnerabilities. Users face the challenge of ensuring the reliability and security of their smart contracts. BlockSec's expertise in smart contract audits helps users address this pain point by conducting thorough code reviews and assessing compliance with industry standards. By identifying and addressing potential vulnerabilities, BlockSec enhances the security and trustworthiness of smart contracts, providing users with peace of mind.

~$418M Lost: Bitget, NEAR Intents Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

This biweekly security report records eight incidents from September 21 to October 4, 2026, with approximately $418.4M in losses across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Bitcoin, TRON, XRP Ledger, Zcash, Avalanche, NEAR, and related networks. Detailed analysis covers Bitget's $387.5M third-party security product vulnerability and NEAR Intents' $3.87M refund validation flaw and missing state rollback.

Bitget's $387.5M Off-Chain Breach: Beyond Keys and Contracts

On September 24, 2026, attackers exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product, obtained internal credentials, and forged withdrawal commands. The resulting transfers moved approximately $387.5M from some of Bitget's operational wallets across Ethereum, other EVM networks, XRP Ledger, Zcash, and TRON; private keys and cold wallets remained intact. This deep dive summarizes the disclosed incident path and fund flow, examines rapid conversion into native assets and the ecosystem recovery response, proposes a systematic defense-in-depth framework for institutions, and explains how authorized blockchain penetration testing can validate cross-layer assumptions.

~$11.3M Lost: Multicall Router, Nostra | BlockSec Weekly

This report, covering 2026/09/14 - 2026/09/20, examines two security incidents with approximately $11.3M in combined losses, on Ethereum and Starknet. In the larger one, a multicall router accepted its own address as a dispatch target, so the nested call reached the Gateway module of a Safe wallet carrying the router's own already-authorized identity instead of the external caller's, and roughly 2,900 `aEthrsETH` was routed out of that wallet into an attacker-created Uniswap v4 pool. On Starknet, Nostra's oracle integration required a minimum of only one aggregated source, so when only two of the three configured price sources reached the aggregation, a manipulated thin-pool quote averaged with a normal quote to value `NSTR` at roughly $49.52, supporting approximately $3.5M of borrowing against overvalued collateral.
