Proposal: - Enhancing Security and Trust with ChainPatrol

Objective

ChainPatrol is a Real-Time Security Platform that aims to detect, block and manage takedowns of active malicious threats targeting Venus Protocol, keeping the community and organization safe from bad actors.

Description

As Venus continues to grow and scale, bad actors have an increasing incentive to target the community, organization, and staff members. Online threats vary in nature across each platform and ChainPatrol specializes in detecting, blocking, and taking down these active threats (impersonations, phishing links, wallet drainers).

Our aim is to get the support of Venus Governance to become a valued security partner that works closely with Venus to protect its community, users, and builders through all of the key roadmap events, mitigating the impact of these potential threats on community members.

Background

My name is Dave Scalzo and I am the BD Lead and Head of Customer Success for ChainPatrol (a Web3 Cybersecurity company). We started our company approximately 2 years ago with the vision of making the Web3 Space safer.

Everyday, there are new online threats targeting organizations and users in the crypto industry. Our mission is to constantly adapt to these new threat vectors and ensure that our customers and their communities are protected from a variety of different threats across platforms.

ChainPatrol is a very accessible and transparent team supporting security 24/7 across all timezones.
