The Blockchain Security Crisis (in 2026)
The state of play “In the rapidly evolving world of decentralised finance (DeFi) and web3, where billions of dollars pour through smart contracts and decentralised apps (dApps) daily, security should be the bedrock priority. Yet for an industry espousing transparency and trustless systems, the blockchain space has a glaring vulnerability – outdated, siloed security audits.“ […]
When Does a Smart Contract Audit Actually Expire?
An audit does not fail overnight. It expires quietly. Most Web3 teams treat “Was Audited” as a durable security signal. But a smart contract audit validates a specific version of code, under a specific set of assumptions. And those assumptions rarely stay static. So the real question isn’t whether audits are important. It’s this: When […]
Why Smart Contract Security Tools Struggle With Noise
– and How Fidesium Changes the Game False positives are one of the biggest blockers to effective smart contract security. They waste developer time, slow audits, and quietly erode trust in automated tools. The problem is not static analysis itself, it’s the lack of contextual understanding around findings. In this blog, we break down: why […]
Audits Age. Attackers Don’t. Why Continuous Security Is Now Mandatory in Web3
For years, Web3 teams have treated security audits like a milestone: something you complete once, check off, and move past. But as the ecosystem grows – and as attackers become more sophisticated – one truth has become impossible to ignore: An audit is a snapshot.Attackers operate in real time. The exploit of a Yearn smart […]
Chadi Sebbar’s Journey into Smart Contract Security
Web3 security isn’t just about code, it’s about the people who dedicate their careers to protecting the ecosystem, and with it a vision for a better future. One of them is Chadi Sebbar, a multilingual security engineer whose unique path shows what it takes to build trust in a decentralized world. Who This Story Is […]
Formal Analysis in Web3: What Founders Need to Know (Without the Math)
If you’re a Web3 founder, you’ve probably heard terms like testing, fuzzing, audits — and now formal analysis. At first glance, they can sound like the same thing.They’re not. Here’s the simplest way to think about it: Fuzzing tries to find failures.Formal analysis proves failures cannot exist. Fuzzing is powerful. It throws thousands of random […]
Why Security Needs to Be a Process, Not an Event
The B-52 Stratofortress, a legendary long-range strategic bomber, had a rocky early history with several crashes and incidents. Introduced by Boeing in the 1950s, the B-52 was a complex aircraft for its time, pushing the boundaries of jet-powered heavy bombers. Before the widespread adoption of standardized pre-flight checklists – now a cornerstone of aviation safety […]
The Wild West of Crypto: When a Rug Pull is Not a Rug Pull
The cryptocurrency space is often compared to the Wild West – largely unregulated, where degens and normies alike transact in an ecosystem full of risk and opportunity. In this environment, ‘rug pulls’ have become a major concern for crypto investors. A rug pull refers to when developers of a new cryptocurrency abandon the project and […]
Blockchain’s Need for Speed
