Blockful - Candidate for Security Council Elections - March 2025

Hello all,

We’re publishing here to express Blockful’s interest in joining the Arbitrum Security Council.

About Blockful

Blockful specializes in risk management across governance and technical layers, ensuring protocol resilience by proactively identifying and mitigating security threats. Our work goes beyond code, analyzing governance structures, participation risks, and potential attack vectors that could impact decentralized systems.

Why Blockful

Security is at the core of Blockful’s work. Our team of engineers and researchers actively monitors risks that could compromise protocols and DAO operations. We have contributed to:

  • ENS Governance Analysis: Identified and resolved a critical governance risk in ENS DAO, preventing potential vulnerabilities and creating the ENS Security Council.
  • Compound Governance Research: Conducted an in-depth review to evaluate and improve governance mechanisms.

Security Approach

Blockful specializes in detecting and mitigating risks before they escalate into systemic failures. Our proactive approach includes continuous monitoring, technical risk analysis, and direct intervention when security threats emerge.

With a dedicated team of engineers and security researchers, Blockful is equipped to support protocol-level security improvements and risk assessments. Our experience in smart contract security, attack vector analysis, and DAO risk mitigation makes us an ideal member for the Arbitrum Security Council.

We are confident in our ability to add value to the Security Council and are prepared to contribute meaningfully in this role. Looking forward to engaging with the community on this.

The representative will be @alextnetto. He was responsible for addressing the potential attack on the ENS DAO. He is the creator of the ENS DAO Security Council, a smart contract developer, and co-founder of Blockful.

Those two articles are very informative, and I would say required reading for anyone consider delegating who aren’t already familiar with those kinds of attacks. Good writeups and good work to both you and OZ!

Have you decided whom you’d like to appoint to represent Blockful on the security council? It’s my understanding a single appointee would need to represent an organization for the practical end of things, and it would make me a lot more comfortable voting if I knew of and felt I could trust the Blockful appointee, not just Blockful - the organization.
