Francesco from Unchain AI discusses web3 security tools built for Stellar and Soroban, including wallet screening APIs, smart contract monitoring (Web3 SOC), and an open-source smart contract catalog with GPT-4 integration for vulnerability detection.
Francesco, head of product at Unchain AI, presents the company's security solutions for the Stellar ecosystem and Soroban smart contracts. Unchain AI provides five products spanning compliance, investigations, and prevention: a blockchain intelligence API for wallet risk scoring, Web3 SOC for smart contract event monitoring and incident response, CISO platform for fund tracing, and an open-source catalog of audited Soroban smart contracts with GPT-4-powered explanations. The presentation covers NIST cybersecurity framework principles applied to web3, highlighting the critical gap in mean time to detect (MTTD) for hacks, which averages seven days in web3 versus hours in traditional security. Unchain offers free API access to Stellar developers for wallet screening and transaction monitoring, and emphasizes security best practices including smart contract audits, incident response planning, anomaly detection, and fund recovery coordination with exchanges.
