#23 AI Blockchain Security with the company that exposed FTX

Christian is the Head of Partnerships at Anchain, a Web3 security firm that gained notoriety for exposing FTX. Anchain aims to minimize the impact of security breaches and improve the reaction time across the industry.

What is Anchain?

Anchain offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to improve the security of Web3 ecosystems. These tools enable real-time monitoring and risk assessment, essential for identifying and mitigating potential threats before they escalate into major security breaches.

One of the unique aspects of Anchain is that they use AI-driven analytics that analyse transactions to detect any suspicious activities. By leveraging machine learning models, the company effectively flags high-risk transactions and entities. This is being used for preventing financial crimes and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards, thereby reinforcing the security infrastructure of digital assets.

Notable Work

Anchain is helping keep crypto safe by collaborating with various governmental and law enforcement agencies. These partnerships help expose and identify bad actors in the space such as the Lazarous group - the infamous North Korean hacker organisation responsible for the Harmony hack.

It was Anchain that confirmed the identity of the attackers, and provided valuable information to law enforcement agencies.

According to Christian, Anchain was also the ones to expose FTX. After carrying out on-chain analysis, the team at Anchain discovered suspicious financial activity taking place between Alameda Research and FTX. The information was soon sent to Bloomberg, who broke the news soon after. This prompted the Twitter fight between CZ and SBF - which eventually led to SBF answering for the financial crimes that he had comitted.

This industry needs all the help it can get to discourage attackers and minimise damages, and Anchain are doing some great work on this.
