Organization

Motivation

Our goal is to contribute as an additional layer of governance protection to the Ethereum ecosystem at one of its most relevant layers. blockful’s knowledge and experience in governance security and technical aspects will be valuable to strengthen the Arbitrum Security Council. We are already active participants in Arbitrum governance, closely tracking proposals and risk dynamics.

By joining the Security Council, we bring both a governance-first perspective and hands-on technical experience. This dual expertise positions us to support the council in safeguarding Arbitrum’s infrastructure, DAO, and community.

Experience

blockful’s relevant experience in its current scope is focused on governance security. We created [anticapture.com](http://anticapture.com/), a dashboard and framework born from the analysis of over 30 DAOs past attacks to identify risk vectors.

Experience:

➤ ENS DAO – We discovered a potential governance attack that could have drained the entire treasury, valued at more than 150M USD.

➤ Uniswap DAO – We received a grant to conduct a comprehensive research initiative around governance security.

➤ Optimism – We received a grant to perform research and integrate Optimism governance into the [anticapture.com](http://anticapture.com/) dashboard.

➤ Compound – We conducted research on the governance attack related to Humpy.

In addition, we act as delegate in Arbitrum via [gov.blockful.io](http://gov.blockful.io/), and also in Scroll, Uniswap, and ENS DAO.

Cybersecurity

Already prevented some attacks, writing and deploying smart contract that protect +$1B. We have not only code and technical capacity, but also research and mechanism design expertise.

Can independently verify multisig transactions

Projects

ENS, Uniswap. We participate on Scroll governance but do not have any service provider relation, so no conflict of interest. In our treasury we hold around ~5% of L2 tokens: ARB, OP, SCR.
