Navigating billions of users to Web3 with safety.
What is GoPlus?
GoPlus Security is an open, permissionless and user-driven User Security Network for Web3, providing a user security module which is adaptable and designed to seamlessly integrate with any blockchain, it makes chains easy to enhance user safety to protect their users. GoPlus provides comprehensive protection across the entire user transaction lifecycle. By leveraging AVS and cutting-edge AI powered security solutions, it also conducts thorough risk analysis and delivers smart, efficient and decentralized security services for users. GoPlus aims to create a more secure and user-friendly Web3 on-chain interaction environment by filling the gap of user security layer in the current blockchain's architecture, providing users with more effective and better-experienced on-chain security protection.
In the last few years, GoPlus has experienced exponential growth, with user security data usage increasing by over 5000 times from what was recorded in 2022, and daily API calls reaching 21 million. The recent launch of SecWareX in March 2024 marked a significant achievement, demonstrating high levels of user trust and engagement.
GoPlus has supported over 20 blockchain networks and partnering with RPCs, Rollups and RaaS projects. Innovations such as the SecScan security engine and SecWare protocol, which leverage an open security data and computing layer, are poised to exploit the capabilities of Eigenlayer's Actively Validated Services (AVSs), thereby enhancing the decentralization and security of the whole network.
Web3 User Security Environment
In the Web3 environment, user security currently faces increasingly severe challenges, primarily centered around private key theft, phishing websites, Rug Pulls, and scam contracts. According to a 2023 report released by SlowMist, the Web3 ecosystem suffered losses as much as $2.486 billion due to various security incidents, including 191 hacker attacks, 267 Rug Pull incidents, and a multitude of online phishing scams. The report highlights that DeFi-related hacker attacks mainly target projects and protocols. However, for individual users, frequent phishing and scam activities are the most common threats. Unlike protocol-targeted attacks, those aimed at users have a broader impact, significantly degrading the Web3 experience, especially for newcomers lacking essential web3 security knowledge, making them susceptible to scams in the complex landscape of on-chain operations.
Furthermore, since 2022, there has been a rise in organizations creating "Wallet drainers", a type of malware related to cryptocurrency that has seen significant "success" over the past year, as outlined in Scam Sniffer 2023 security report These malicious software tools are deployed on phishing websites to deceive users into signing harmful transactions, consequently stealing assets from their wallets. These phishing activities persistently victimize ordinary users in various forms, resulting in significant financial losses for many who unwittingly sign malicious transactions. Through a model known as "Drainer as a service", these organizations develop a vast network of affiliates, leading to large-scale scamming and phishing operations. Moreover, as the methods of user-targeted attacks and defense mechanisms evolve, the nature of these attacks has become increasingly diverse and complex, posing potential traps in any interaction within the user's operational process. With the emergence of large-scale scams and phishing operations, the personal security issues of Web3 users are becoming more severe, indicating an urgent need for comprehensive and robust security solutions in the Web3 domain.
Main Issues about User Security
Missing User Security Layer in Blockchain's architecture: The current blockchain technical architecture lacks inherent protection capabilities for their users. Once a user clicks the send button in their wallet, they are solely responsible for their transactions and cannot stop them from happening, even if the transactions are malicious or fraudulent. This leaves users vulnerable to potential security threats and scams.
High barrier for users: While some products, including wallets, provide security alerts and reminders, users are still required to understand and make correct choices based on these notifications. This creates a certain barrier for users, as they need to comprehend the implications and cultivate a strong sense of security awareness. The current solutions do not adequately cater to the varying levels of technical understanding among users.
Fragmented Security Configurations: With numerous blockchain networks, users are forced to rely on fragmented security tools to address their safety needs across different chains. This piecemeal approach is cumbersome and inefficient, leaving users unable to ensure that their transactions align with their personal security intentions. The lack of a unified, cross-chain security strategy hinders users from having full control over their assets' safety.
Centralized Security Services: Many of the existing user security services are centralized, which poses certain risks. The lack of transparency in their data and services raises concerns about potential vulnerabilities and breaches of trust. This centralized approach is inconsistent with the decentralized spirit of Web3, which emphasizes openness, transparency, and user driven.
Why GoPlus?
In the current landscape of Web3 user security, the community faces pressing challenges that demand innovative and comprehensive solutions. GoPlus addresses these challenges head-on, offering a novel approach to the security conundrums of the Web3.
Comprehensive Security Lifecycle: The essence of Web3 security is not found in piecemeal solutions but in comprehensive, end-to-end protection. GoPlus stands out by providing a holistic security framework that guards every phase of user interaction and transaction within the blockchain environment. From initial transaction creation to final settlement, GoPlus protects users from risks at every step, covering all their security scenarios and closing gaps left by isolated solutions.
Unified Security Hub: The fragmented nature of current security services complicates the user experience and diminishes overall safety. Users crave a single, cohesive platform where they can manage and monitor their security across multiple blockchains. GoPlus Security responds to this need by creating a unified security hub, a one-stop solution for cross-chain security strategy management.
Seamless on-chain firewall: GoPlus introduces a groundbreaking on-chain firewall that integrates directly into the blockchain. The User Security Module creates a native security layer that automatically screens transactions against users' personalized security strategy, blocking risky ones in real-time at the RPC level or by integrated chains. This ensures uninterrupted, secure blockchain interactions where asset protection is inherent to the user experience.
Decentralized Security Services: Finally, the call for transparency and reliability in security services has never been louder. The decentralized ethos of Web3 demands security solutions that match its principles. GoPlus embodies this spirit by offering decentralized security services that ensure open, permissionless, and user driven. By leveraging decentralized network, GoPlus ensures that its security services are not only effective but also align with the core values of the Web3.
Conclusion
In conclusion, GoPlus Security is dedicated to providing Web3 users with a comprehensive, unified, seamless, and decentralized security solution. Faced with numerous challenges in the current Web3 user security landscape, such as the lack of native user protection capabilities in blockchain architecture, high security barriers for users, fragmented security configurations, and centralized security services, GoPlus offers innovative countermeasures.
GoPlus provides end-to-end security protection throughout the entire user transaction lifecycle, creates a unified cross-chain security management center, enables seamless secure interaction experiences through a native security layer deeply integrated with the blockchain, and offers transparent and reliable security services based on a decentralized network.
