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.

Newsletter - June 2026

This monthly report covers the three largest security incidents in June 2026, totaling approximately $22M in confirmed losses. A sophisticated honeypot attack drained ~$15M from JaredFromSubway's MEV bot by exploiting unchecked token allowances. Two legacy Aztec rollup deployments lost ~$4.35M through proof-settlement boundary gaps. SecondFi's Ed25519 implementation flaw exposed wallet private keys, resulting in ~$2.4M drained from 374 wallets. All three incidents share a common pattern: security guarantees that appeared intact on the surface but were never actually enforced.

~$4.1M Lost: Taiko, SecondFi Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly blockchain security report covers two notable incidents from June 22-28, 2026, with approximately $4.1M in confirmed losses across Ethereum and Cardano. The Taiko bridge exploit combined an exposed SGX enclave signing key with an incomplete attestation policy that failed to reject debug enclaves, allowing the attacker to register a malicious prover and forge L2 state proofs on Ethereum. The SecondFi wallet vulnerability stemmed from a cryptographic implementation flaw in Ed25519 nonce derivation that removed the secret input, enabling offline private key recovery from public Cardano transaction data.

~$18M Lost: jaredFromSubway, Aztec & More | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly blockchain security report covers June 15 to June 21, 2026, with 3 notable incidents across Ethereum and BNB Chain totaling approximately $18.3M in losses. Two incidents are analyzed in detail. Based on on-chain analysis, the highlighted jaredFromSubway incident reveals a reversed approval attack pattern: unlike traditional exploits where attackers abuse vulnerabilities in trusted DeFi contracts to drain user-approved assets, this MEV bot proactively approved its own assets to untrusted third-party contracts for arbitrage. The attacker constructed fake wrapper tokens and swap pools that emitted real events but never consumed the granted allowances, with reported total losses of ~$15M. The report also covers Aztec's second exploit in three days, where a missing equality constraint between two witnesses for `old_data_root` in the escape hatch ZK circuit allowed the attacker to prove ownership of fabricated notes against a fake Merkle tree while passing on-chain root validation.
