In the free-wielding, wild wild west of , people have associated the phrase “Public ” with a you-are-on-your-own attitude.
But as the the creators of the ThunderCore Protocol, we feel a sense of duty to the developers that build on ThunderCore, the users that use the Dapps built on ThunderCore, and to the network in general.
To that end, we are happy to announce a partnership with , a leading silicon valley security company founded by cybersecurity veterans. AnChain.ai’s proven technology has been identifying vulnerabilities and protecting Dapp developers and blockchains..
In practical terms, this partnership with AnChain.ai is important in the several ways.
Why Should Developers Care?
To keep the network safe and as a service to Dapp developers, we are utilizing the Contract Auditing Sandbox (CAS) product from AnChain.ai. The CAS auto scans smart contracts and uncovers known vulnerabilities that can cause severe damage. This helps Dapp developers improve their offering and allows the ThunderCore ecosystem to remain as vulnerable-free as possible.
A recent example to drive this point even further:
In August, AnChain identified five addresses behind an extremely sophisticated attack that exploited a contract flaw in a popular gambling game to steal $4 million. —
Why Should Users Care?
This is important to users because we care about you and your funds. While you are responsible for your own Thunder , we want to do what we can to make sure the Dapps you interact with are safe for you.
Keeping the ThunderCore Protocol Safe
We are also utilizing a separate product from AnChain.ai called Situational Awareness Platform (SAP), which leverages AI and Big Data to identify potential threats in transactions. Looking at on-chain analytics, the SAP attempts to identify and solve potential vulnerabilities to the network, including bad actors.
