Crypto security firm, Immunefi, introduces live threat prevention for digital assets.
In the wake of a staggering $142 billion in crypto hacks reported in July 2025 [1], the need for improved security measures has never been more pressing. Enter Immunefi's Magnus, a groundbreaking platform designed to address the industry's security fragmentation and set a new standard for securing the onchain economy.
Magnus offers cross-chain monitoring on major networks such as Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Avalanche, with more networks to be added soon [2]. This comprehensive coverage extends to layer-2 protocols like Arbitrum and zkSync, and popular DeFi protocols like Curve Finance, focusing on safeguarding high-value stablecoin pools and smart contract assets.
The platform integrates advanced tools like Codexa, a vast and continuously updated dataset of blockchain vulnerabilities [1]. This enables Magnus to adapt to emerging threats and intervene quickly, often within minutes, to prevent or mitigate hacks in the crypto ecosystem.
Aneirin, cofounder of FailSafe, a component of Magnus, emphasises that the platform consolidates cross-chain monitoring, threat detection, and policy enforcement into one command center [3]. This consolidation offers real-time visibility and compliance-grade coverage, previously requiring multiple tools.
Mitchell Amador, CEO and Founder of Immunefi, further highlights the importance of having all security intelligence in one place during an active exploit [3]. Immunefi's new system, Magnus, provides real-time threat blocking, addressing the industry's security fragmentation which often delays responses to active exploits.
Notable users of Magnus include protocols Babylon Labs and Lombard Finance, managing $8 billion in Bitcoin DeFi assets [2]. The platform also unifies brand protection, operational threat detection, and automated smart contract monitoring into a single dashboard.
In addition, FailSafe, another component of Magnus, offers advanced compliance monitoring, including tools for stablecoin regulation under MiCA and DORA [3]. This ensures that Magnus is not just a reactive solution, but a proactive one, anticipating and addressing regulatory changes.
In conclusion, Immunefi's Magnus platform plays a critical role in addressing crypto security issues by offering real-time, AI-driven monitoring and threat detection. By consolidating various security functions into one platform, Magnus promises to enhance the operational security posture of large DeFi systems and their users, potentially setting a new standard for securing the onchain economy.
