Web3 Summit Keynote: Elite SEAL Team Launches Adversarial Testing for Protocol Security

The Elite SEAL Team Aims to Revolutionize Crypto Security

To fortify defenses and avert breaches worse than those that occurred in 2023, a group of ethical hackers formed the elite SEAL team in response to the mounting threat posed by cryptocurrency hacking. Since its founding in August 2023, the anti-hack response team SEAL (Security Alliance), under the direction of white hat hacker and Paradigm researcher Samczsun, has fielded over 900 tickets pertaining to hacking. During his keynote address at the Web3 Summit in Berlin, Samczsun declared that the program would create a battlefield between white hat hackers and emerging protocols in order to make protocols more resistant to intrusions.

We envision a future where we host live adversarial environment for protocols and researchers to stress test their protocols. This way, the teams can pass through protocol and make sure that it functions under high-intensity situations. But also, researchers can test their skills in being a black hat or a white hat.

SEAL Squad’s Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement: Legal Protection for Ethical Hackers

In their attempt to recover pilfered money, ethical hackers, or “white hats,” may be breaking the law. This is because it would be illegal to rescue stolen smart contract cash due to the numerous international regulations that forbid unauthorized users from accessing computer systems. Samczsun clarified that SEAL released the Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement, a legal structure that offers financial support to white hat hackers defending themselves against unfair legal actions.

We also prepared some defenses for the white hat by partnering with the Security Researcher Legal Defense Fund. The SDF is another nonprofit whose mission is to provide grants to security researchers interfacing with legal issues.
