As institutions move onchain, the threat has shifted from code to operations.
Over 75% of H1 losses (~$972M) came from operational and config gaps, not code.
> Audits secure the code, at a point in time
> Regulation secures reserves and custody
> Defensive AI is catching up, but aimed at code
Each is critical but together they leave one layer open, the operational state.
State of Digital Asset Security, H1 2026
(link in comments)👇
We are at @token2049 Singapore🇸🇬 this week!
As digital asset operations scale, security, risk and compliance teams need to know their controls aren't only defined but continuously effective, from code to chain.
That's exactly what we focus on at Dedge.
If you're around, we'd love to meet. Reach out to @0x0kyoshi directly to grab a coffee.
At Dedge, we continuously monitor wallet policies to confirm they are in place, correctly configured and working as intended.

Dedge has joined Japan's Digital Asset Co-Creation Consortium (DCC), led by @progmat_en
The DCC is building production-grade infrastructure for onchain assets, from tokenized JGBs to repo and 24/7 settlement.
As tokenization scales, so does what has to be secured.
Japan is evolving, so are we.
Proud to join the @circle Alliance Program as a certified member!
The digital dollar is scaling into institutional infrastructure and security posture has to scale with it.
In 2026, much of what's lost onchain doesn't come from broken code, it comes from what changes after the audit.
That's the gap we've signed up for 🫡
Read full report below. Inside, you'll also find the layer we're building at Dedge.

Dedge Security is now ISO/IEC 27001 certified🙌
More than a badge. It's proof we operate with the governance and risk management institutions require from a security partner.
Another step toward helping organizations adopt digital assets securely.
Dedge Security retweeted
Join @DedgeSecurity as we confront the dangerous gap between point-in-time audits and continuous real-world threats.
Get practical insights on building true continuous security posture — real-time visibility and resilience before incidents hit.
What you’ll take away:
✅ Where static audits fall short
✅ Common blind spots hitting APAC platforms
✅ A proven path to continuous monitoring from real deployments
AI makes code scanning cheaper and faster, but it does not replace security judgment, and in digital assets, the most expensive failures have never been code bugs in the first place.
Ronin, Bybit, Drift: compromised keys, manipulated signers, governance issues. The smart contracts executed correctly.
AI agents are only as useful as the threat model of the team behind them. Teams that deploy AI tooling without that expertise are not buying security, but rather the appearance of it, which is worse.
During a full repository scan of Taiko, the Dedge platform surfaced an exposed private key in a public pull request. That finding did not come from a code vulnerability scanner, but rather a system built to understand operational exposure across the full development surface.
I heard recently that AI has already replaced Auditors. Someone said:
"There's no need to hire a web3 firm for smart contract audits, I think it's overkill, and AI does just as good a job nowadays."
My way of explaining why that's not the case was like this:
"Look at it also as, we all always had Google and Stack Overflow to search and solve our coding issues, but it made a difference who used them and how.
So, AI is powerful, yet it makes a difference how it’s used in what context and who is using it."
From my experience, it makes a huge difference for both development and auditing whether the person using AI is proficient.
Dedge surfaces the preconditions of attacks like Taiko, before they become $1.7M incidents.
W3SPM monitors the full attack surface, including repositories, secrets, on-chain contract logic, and runtime posture. The Taiko exploit required a failure mode that W3SPM would catch:
A committed private key (DWE-SECRET-001).
This didn't require the attacker to do anything sophisticated.
⚠️ Security Notice
1/2: We have confirmed a compromise of Taiko’s chain state verification mechanism. As a result, the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon.
We are actively coordinating with the Security Council and ecosystem partners to contain the incident, pause affected systems where possible, and take all necessary technical and legal actions.
We strongly advise all users to withdraw their funds from all bridges deployed on Taiko immediately.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
The blockchain recorded every loss. The industry never agreed on how to read the receipts.
In 2025, four of the most-cited security firms published their annual loss figures:
• @chainalysis: $3.4B
• @CertiK: $3.35B
• @peckshield: $4.04B
• @SlowMist_Team: $2.78B
Gap between highest and lowest: $1.26 billion.
Each firm made defensible choices about what to include:
• Scams vs. exploits.
• Gross vs. net of recoveries.
• Protocol-level vs. wallet-level incidents.
Four legitimate answers to four slightly different questions, all published as the answer to one.
The digital assets security industry built sophisticated threat detection infrastructure. It never built the risk accounting layer underneath it.
DORA is in force. MiCA is live. The GENIUS Act is moving. Every one of these requires a consistent, auditable loss classification framework.
The industry can build that standard, or inherit one written by regulators who don't understand on-chain mechanics.
Full analysis 👇
The security model most Web3 projects run on is structurally wrong.
Pre-deployment audit. Ship. Forget.
But 2025 told a different story: the majority of losses by value came not from code vulnerabilities but from what happened after deployment, key compromise, governance manipulation, etc.
You can pass every audit and still lose everything to a misconfigured signing authority or a zero-timelock governance change nobody caught in time.
This is the gap @DedgeSecurity was built to close by continuous security posture across the full lifecycle, from code commit to on-chain state.
On Canton Network, where institutional capital, tokenized assets, and interoperable settlement are operating at real scale, that gap isn't academic, but rather a systemic risk.
The infrastructure carrying institutional-grade assets needs institutional-grade posture management. Not periodic reviews. Continuous coverage.
Did you know that @DedgeSecurity is the only Security Posture Management (SPM) platform built natively for digital asset infrastructure, continuous security from code commit to on-chain deployment.
As a Member of Canton Foundation, Dedge secures the infrastructure layer that institutions and builders on the Global Synchronizer depend on.
What they bring to Canton:
→ Autonomous smart contract security analysis with real-time findings mapped across the full deployment lifecycle
→ Continuous risk detection embedded directly into institutional build and deployment workflows
→ Full-stack posture coverage across tokenized asset infrastructure — contracts, nodes, wallets, and signing authority
→ Audit-ready evidence for regulated institutions operating on-chain
Canton is where institutional tokenized assets, collateral mobility, and interoperable settlement come together. Dedge ensures the security posture behind that infrastructure meets the same standard.

Digital Assets security has matured beyond "secure at launch" thinking.
A point-in-time audit is a hypothesis, not a guarantee. The real attack surface evolves daily with governance actions, upgrades, integrations, and human decisions.
Security as a continuous, observable property of the entire system, from code, on-chain state, permissions, and external dependencies, rather than a one-time certification.
Most of these incidents weren't novel zero-days in audited code.
Happy to share how Dedge platform gives teams real-time visibility and automated risk detection.

Every major post-mortem since 2023 contains a version of this sentence: "The vulnerability was introduced after the audit was completed."
The snapshot is necessary, but never sufficient.
An audit tells you what the code looked like on one specific day. It tells you nothing about what your multisig configuration looks like today.
Dedge Security retweeted
and and and...
with evm + svm contracts routing through canton natively, the attack surface just got crosschain, cross-app, and institutional-grade complex
@DedgeSecurity sits at that intersection. web3-native security posture management (SPM) built for exactly this composability layer
@ZenithFdn is building the bridge. we secure what crosses it.
; )
For developers coming from EVM or Solana, @ZenithFdn is the entry point to Canton.
Deploy unmodified Solidity with Hardhat and MetaMask. Your contracts route natively through the Canton protocol and can atomically compose with Daml-native Canton apps.
Canton’s EVM and SVM execution layer means you don’t need to learn a new language to get started. Bring your existing codebase and tooling.
From there, your apps can tap into Canton’s privacy-preserving architecture, atomic cross-app settlement, and the full CIP-56 token ecosystem.
