Crypto Incident Response & Exploit Recovery
When an attack hits, minutes matter. Our on-call team mobilizes fast to contain threats, trace funds, recover assets where possible, and harden your stack so it does not happen again. This blockchain incident response service covers on-chain, off-chain, and operational vectors. For long-term resilience, we recommend pairing incident response with a dApp security audit and an OpSec audit to reduce the risk of future exploits.

What is a Crypto Incident Response Service?
A Web3 Crypto incident response is a specialized emergency engagement for live security events that impact wallets, smart contracts, bridges, or surrounding infrastructure. You get coordinated containment, war-room leadership, on-chain forensics, protocol-level mitigations, communication support, and a verified post-mortem. It’s different from a scheduled smart contract audit: incident response happens after an exploit to contain and remediate damage, while an audit is done beforehand to proactively uncover and fix vulnerabilities.
Why Web3 Emergency Services Matter
Reduce financial damage models
through rapid containment and parameter hot-fixes.
Protect users and reputation
with coordinated, factual communications.
Improve resilience
with root-cause analysis and verified remediations.
Satisfy stakeholders
with timelines, evidence, and clear accountability.
Our Crypto Incident Response Approach
1. Triage and mobilize
Set the secure war-room, confirm scope and severity, lock down comms, gather indicators, and align on immediate objectives.
2. Containment and controls
Pause affected contracts or features where possible, adjust oracles and risk parameters, rotate keys, restrict endpoints, and isolate infrastructure.
3. On-chain forensics and tracing
Map attacker paths, decode calldata, analyze pool states and oracle deltas, identify exploit primitives, and trace outflows across chains.
4. Mitigation and hot patches
Draft minimal-change patches, parameter updates, and circuit breakers. Coordinate with maintainers and multisigs. Validate fixes on mainnet-fork simulations.
5. Recovery and negotiations
Support white-hat coordination, safe-return programs, and law-enforcement touchpoints. Prioritize user remediation plans.
6. Post-mortem and hardening
Deliver a comprehensive report, risk model updates, defense-in-depth roadmap, and schedule a verification pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out the Crypto Incident F.A.Q.
What is included in your crypto incident response?
War-room coordination, containment, on-chain forensics, mitigations and patches, recovery support, and a final post-mortem with retest.
How fast can you start?
We mobilize on short notice. Response start depends on access, multisig coordination, and the engagement agreement.
Can you help recover funds?
Recovery depends on exploit type, routing, liquidity, and cooperation from counterparties. We support white-hat programs and coordination where possible.
Do you follow a formal incident response service standard?
Yes. We align our process to SANS and NIST incident response cycles, tailored to crypto systems.
What happens after the incident is contained?
You receive a root-cause analysis, prioritized remediation plan, verification audit, and a hardening roadmap mapped to your risk model.
