Crypto Incident Response & Exploit Recovery

When an attack hits, minutes matter. Our on-call team mobilizes fast to contain threats, trace funds, support stolen crypto recovery services where possible, while hardening your stack so it does not happen again. This blockchain incident response service covers on-chain, off-chain, and operational vectors, making it suitable for both crypto incident response and broader Web3 incident response scenarios.

What is a Crypto Incident Response Service?

A Web3 crypto incident response engagement is a specialized emergency service 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, whereas blockchain incident response focuses on real-time containment and structured crypto disaster recovery.

Why Web3 Emergency Services Matter

Reduce financial damage models

through rapid containment, specialized blockchain incident response, and parameter hot-fixes.

Protect users and reputation

with coordinated, factual communications.

Improve resilience

with root-cause analysis, verified remediations, and stronger web3 incident response playbooks.

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 as part of our stolen crypto recovery services. Prioritize user remediation plans and longer-term crypto disaster recovery.

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 for your blockchain incident response program.

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, stolen crypto recovery services, 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.

When to call blockchain incident response experts?

Call us when you face active protocol exploits, compromised private keys, governance attacks, bridge hacks, or suspicious on-chain behavior. Our web3 incident response process is built to help you react fast, limit losses, and plan longer-term crypto disaster recovery.
