Wallet Security Threat Model
The broad entry point for wallet risk, control ordering, and response logic.
Security Research Hub
Research Organized by the Risks Web3 Teams Actually Face
This page is the top-level map for Cyproli research. Use it to move from broad security domains into the supporting articles that explain control logic, implementation details, and incident-response consequences.
How to use this hub
Start Broad, Then Move Down into Supporting Guides
Each cluster is designed to work as a topical system. Start with the broadest page in that area, then move into the narrower supporting guides that answer implementation and incident-response questions.
Cluster 1
Wallet Security
Threat models, signature safety, approval abuse, delegation risk, and wallet-drain response for teams shipping wallet-facing systems.
Token Approval Exploit Prevention
Allowance design, approval abuse, and loss-reduction controls for wallet environments.
WalletConnect Session Hijacking Defense
Session control hardening for wallet-linked application flows.
Wallet Drain Playbook
What teams should do when wallet loss is already in motion.
Cluster 2
Bridge Security
Controls for cross-chain message validation, finality handling, validator compromise, rate limits, and bridge incident response.
Cross-Chain Message Validation Security
The control plane for whether bridge messages should be trusted at all.
Bridge Security Model Comparison
How multisig, MPC, optimistic, and light-client bridges differ in trust assumptions, failure patterns, and control priorities.
Bridge Validator Set Compromise Defense
How teams reduce the blast radius of compromised validation sets.
Cross-Chain Finality and Reorg Defense
Controls for unstable settlement assumptions and reorg-sensitive execution.
Cross-Chain Bridge Incident Response Playbook
Operational response logic for bridge teams under active risk.
Cluster 3
Protocol Security
Smart-contract, governance, privilege, and upgrade controls that reduce catastrophic protocol risk.
Smart Contract Emergency Pause Design
How to contain live risk without creating uncontrolled pause authority.
Smart Contract RBAC Misconfiguration Defense
Role graph drift, over-broad grants, and authorization containment.
Governance Timelock Bypass Defense
How hidden control paths undermine governance safety.
Proxy Upgrade Executor Security
How teams separate proposal, approval, and execution so the release lane cannot silently mutate under pressure.
Cluster 4
Operational Security
The infrastructure, signer, and supply-chain controls that keep production systems from failing through trusted dependencies.
Multisig Signer OpSec for Web3 Teams
Operator discipline, signing review lanes, and containment planning.
Multisig Transaction Simulation Policy for Web3 Teams
A risk-tiered approval model for reviewing simulated effects before signers authorize treasury, admin, and upgrade actions.
RPC Endpoint Poisoning Defense
How to reduce the risk of trusted RPC infrastructure becoming an attack surface.
DeFi Frontend Supply Chain Security
The path from source code and dependencies to user-facing wallet prompts.
