Governance & DAOs
Governance attacks don't exploit code—they exploit trust and process. Monitoring operational security is as important as smart contract security.
Key Risks
Multisig compromise from phished or malware-infected signers
Malicious proposals passing through governance
Admin key rotation to attacker-controlled addresses
Treasury drains via governance mechanisms
Guards We Deploy
Multisig Threshold Monitoring — Alert if signing requirements drop below safe levels.
Admin Change Detection — Track ownership transfers and role changes.
Proposal Monitoring — Flag unusual governance activity.
Treasury Movement Alerts — Detect large or unusual treasury transactions.
