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.

~$1.6M Lost: Moke Token, LpdFi Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

~$1.6M Lost: Moke Token, LpdFi Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

During the week of August 3-9, 2026, 2 notable security incidents on BNB Chain resulted in approximately $1.6M in total losses, both from price manipulation. The highlighted LpdFi incident (~$697K) reused the same manipulable PancakeSwap pair reserves for both order valuation and interest redemption, letting the attacker inflate a position's principal and reshape the pool to redeem an oversized interest claim. Moke Token (~$906K) combined a manipulable spot price with duplicated LP dividend accounting to claim inflated MOKE and collect the resulting BNB dividends multiple times.

COLDCARD Incident: When a Wallet's "Random" Seed Wasn't Random

COLDCARD Incident: When a Wallet's "Random" Seed Wasn't Random

A silent build-and-integration bug in COLDCARD firmware routed Bitcoin seed generation onto a software RNG fallback, whose weak randomness left wallet seeds recoverable offline. Because the weakness is in the seed itself, a firmware update cannot undo it; verified sweeps reached 1,405 BTC (~$91M) by 7 August 2026, with private-channel estimates as high as 2,055 BTC.

~$88M Lost: COLDCARD & LULA Exploits | BlockSec Weekly
Security Insights

~$88M Lost: COLDCARD & LULA Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

During the week of July 27 to August 2, 2026, two notable security incidents caused roughly $88M in losses across Bitcoin and BNB Chain. The highlighted COLDCARD incident was a hardware-wallet firmware entropy failure: a build guard that checked whether an RNG configuration macro existed rather than whether it was enabled routed seed generation to a deterministic software fallback, enabling an attacker to recover affected seeds and sweep at least 1,370 BTC (~$88M) across a series of on-chain waves. The LULA token on BNB Chain lost ~$578K to a business-logic flaw where an attacker-reachable path could trigger its privileged `recycle()` function, pulling LULA out of a PancakeSwap V2 pair, resyncing its reserves to the manipulated balance, and draining its liquidity.
