So glad our team was able to join the event this evening! Some amazing building is happening to unlock the full potential of blockchain technology, and these groups are at the forefront!

The crypto community was gobsmacked by the recent Bitget hack. It's not just the size; it raises the bigger question in any hack or fraud that passes through blockchain protocols: could this have been prevented? At BlockSight, we think it should have been. Our AI-based tools analyze protocols across multiple blockchains to protect applications by anticipating potential fraud and assessing liquidity risk based on blockchain data, wallet behavior, and predictive science. We will share more soon on our blog detailing how our tools, including our trademark Circuit Breaker and Fraud Lab, built by BlockSight, see wallet behaviors and the investing parties behind them, then grade the risk levels of each. With simple interfaces and clear recommendations, including automated tools that stop fund movements on the blockchain based on your preferred risk profile, Bitget’s bad day doesn't have to be your bad day, too. #Bitget #BitgetHack #CryptoHack #CryptoNews Check out our latest products built on BlockSight.

BlockSight is beyond excited to join the @CantonNetwork Accelerator. Our AI-powered fraud detection, customer retention, and liquidity management platform is designed to help anyone looking to build with blockchain technology. We are excited to support both retail and institutional partners, and there is strong alignment between our mission and Canton's vision. In terms of partnerships, we couldn't be more excited to work with the right venture capital firm. @EricSwartzKSU and his team at @PantherHollowV are strategic, optimistic, and professional partners. We're excited to have them on board for the long term.

Today we're announcing that our co-founder Karthik Pariti is stepping down from his active role at Spicenet. Karthik laid the foundation for what Spicenet is today. We’re deeply grateful for his work and vision and wish him continued success. Our co-founder Matt McConnell will continue to lead the company forward, backed by our exceptional team of engineers, designers, and marketers. We know you’ve been waiting for the first Spice Flow integrations to go live. We’re impatient to start shipping too. Onward 🌶️

15 years ago I built SearchMonkey to answer a simple question: "What's actually on my computer?" It grew to 250k+ installs. Then life got in the way. The project stalled. The problem didn't. Today I'm rebuilding it as SearchMonkey III. Faster. Simpler. Open source.

The day before @nordicblock’s #NordicBlockchainConfrence Devon and @AdamCottrell_ attended. The digital assets round expert series alongside some key voices in #web3. We were pleased to discover that a lot of the issues involving lack of transparency and retention could be solved by blocksight.nl we are learning, listening, and here to #BUIDL #AI #web3 #nasa #experts

70% of on-chain users churn after one interaction. No alert. No warning. No second chance. BlockSight sees it coming weeks early. 🔭 blocksight.dev #Web3 #DeFi #AI #Blockchain #ChurnPrediction

2/ Here's the core insight behind the Ai we've built: "The Sun's active regions and an application's wallet population are — from a ML perspective - the same problem." 1000's of entities. Continuous multivariate time-series data. Rare but high-consequence events to detect early.

6/ This isn't a dashboard. It's a predictive intelligence system built on two decades of peer-reviewed, NASA-funded AI research — now applied to the most data-rich frontier in technology. Others analyze. We act.

4/ The AI: ⚡ SVM — segments wallets: power user vs. at-risk, organic vs. bot 🌲 Decision Tree — auditable rules (IF governance votes drop 40% → churn alert) 🧠 MLP — detects hidden behavior patterns 🔭 Deep CNN — scans the entire user graph for networks & coordinated bx

3/ At @EthCC, our Co-Founder & Chief Scientist Dr. Petrus C. Martens takes the stage. Petrus spent 20+ years building NASA & NSF-funded AI to forecast solar flares and protect astronauts on the Artemis program. That same predictive engine now powers BlockSight's intelligence.

$125,000 on the table. The stakes for Inspira Demo Day just leveled up. 🟡 @Yellow Network is officially joining us as a host. They are bringing a $50K grant specifically for a builder who ships on the Yellow SDK, scaling our total reward pool to $125K. The winner is eligible for up to $50K in grants, subject to Yellow Network's internal due diligence. Real capital. Direct access to their core team. Real integration.

Mainnet is coming with a new behavioral security layer. 🌶️️️️️️ We're integrating @blocksight_ai, a behavioral intelligence platform that runs a 5-model ensemble to profile every wallet that interacts with our escrow contracts, scoring behavior in real time and flagging suspicious activity before it ever touches our liquidity. In addition to our two audits completed by @Hashlock_ and @PashovAuditGrp, the BlockSight integration ensures Spicenet's security is strong from day 1. No shortcuts. Just ready.
