‘We Want to Make Blockchain Security Smarter, and More Efficient’

As the blockchain and Web3 ecosystems continue to evolve rapidly, security remains a critical challenge. Millions of dollars are lost every year due to vulnerabilities in smart contracts and decentralized applications, exposing the urgent need for proactive, continuous protection. Himanshu Gautam, Co-founder and CTO of SecureDApp, shares his insights on how specialized security solutions are bridging the gap between traditional cybersecurity and the unique demands of Web3. From automating audits to real-time threat detection, SecureDApp is pioneering tools that not only safeguard projects but also enable innovation to flourish in this dynamic digital frontier.

In an exclusive conversation with Business Frontier, Gautam delves into the inspiration behind SecureDApp, the evolving challenges of Web3 security, and how businesses can stay compliant while embracing cutting-edge technology.

Q. What inspired the creation of SecureDApp, and what problem does it solve?

The inspiration behind SecureDApp came from the increasing security challenges in blockchain and Web3 ecosystems. While blockchain is often regarded as secure due to its decentralized nature, vulnerabilities in smart contracts, DeFi protocols, and blockchain-based applications have led to billions of dollars in losses. These vulnerabilities include coding errors, reentrancy attacks, and exploits that hackers use to drain funds from projects.

We realized that while traditional cybersecurity firms focus on centralized systems, very few specialize in Web3 security. The market lacked comprehensive, real-time monitoring solutions that could prevent attacks before they occurred. Additionally, the audit process in blockchain security was often time-consuming and failed to offer continuous protection post-audit.

SecureDApp was created to bridge this gap by offering proactive security solutions. Our products, such as SecureWatch and Audit Express, go beyond traditional smart contract audits by providing continuous monitoring and instant threat detection. This approach ensures that projects are not just secure at launch but remain protected against emerging threats. Our goal is to make blockchain security faster, smarter, and more efficient, helping Web3 companies innovate without worrying about security breaches.

Q. What security challenges in Web3 led to the development of specialized security solutions?

Blockchain and Web3 applications store and move huge amounts of money, making them a big target for hackers. Some major problems include:

1. Smart Contract Weaknesses – Smart contracts are like computer programs that control money in Web3. If they have even a small mistake in the code, hackers can steal funds.
2. No Continuous Security – Most Web3 projects only get security checked once before launch, but new threats appear daily. Without ongoing monitoring, projects remain exposed.
3. Scams & Phishing Attacks – Hackers trick users into sharing their passwords or clicking fake links, causing them to lose money.
4. Cross-Blockchain Risks – Many Web3 projects operate on multiple blockchains. If security is weak in one, the whole system can be attacked.

SecureDApp solves these problems by offering faster audits, 24/7 monitoring, and real-time alerts. Our goal is to stop hacks before they happen, protecting Web3 businesses and users.

Q. How can businesses follow blockchain security rules while staying fully protected?

Governments are tightening security rules for blockchain companies to prevent fraud and protect users. Businesses must follow these rules while keeping their security strong. They can do this by:

1. Getting Smart Contract Audits – Many rules require projects to check their code for security flaws before launch. Regular audits help them stay compliant.
2. Using Real-Time Monitoring – Security risks don’t stop after an audit. Ongoing monitoring (like SecureWatch) ensures that any new threats are caught early.
3. Following Global Security Standards – Organizations should meet international safety standards, such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, to prove they take security seriously.
4. Implementing KYC & Anti-Fraud Measures – Crypto exchanges and DeFi platforms must verify users to prevent money laundering and fraud.
5. Keeping Up with Legal Changes – Blockchain laws change quickly. Companies should stay updated to avoid legal trouble.

SecureDApp helps Web3 businesses stay both secure and compliant by providing automated audits, real-time security tracking, and expert guidance on regulations.

Q. How can Web3 security solutions grow while allowing new innovations?

For Web3 to grow safely, security must be fast, scalable, and easy to use. Some ways to do this include:

1. Automating Security Checks – Instead of long, manual audits, businesses should use AI-powered tools to check code quickly. SecureDApp’s Audit Express makes audits faster and more efficient.
2. Building Security into Web3 Apps – Developers should use pre-tested security features instead of writing everything from scratch. This reduces mistakes.
3. Continuous Monitoring Instead of One-Time Checks – Instead of fixing issues after an attack, businesses should detect threats in real time using tools like SecureWatch.
4. Decentralized Security Models – The Web3 community should share security data so projects can learn from others’ mistakes.
5. Educating Developers & Users – Many hacks happen because people don’t know how to protect themselves. Teaching better security practices helps the entire industry.

With the right tools and mindset, Web3 security can scale globally while still allowing developers to innovate freely.

Q. What are some key achievements and success stories of SecureDApp?

SecureDApp has made Web3 safer by protecting major blockchain projects from security threats. Some of our biggest achievements include:

1. Protecting Multi-Million Dollar Projects – We’ve secured DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and Web3 businesses, preventing them from losing millions due to attacks.
2. Launching SecureWatch & Audit Express – SecureWatch is one of the first real-time security monitoring tools for Web3. Audit Express has made security faster and simpler for blockchain developers.
3. Working with Governments & Enterprises – We’ve collaborated with governments and large companies, including the Government of India, to improve blockchain security rules and policies.
4. Preventing Major Attacks – Our early warnings have stopped projects from falling victim to scams, reentrancy attacks, and hacking attempts.
5. Expanding Globally – SecureDApp is now trusted by blockchain businesses worldwide, helping them secure their operations and build trust with users.

We will continue to lead the Web3 security industry, making blockchain safer for everyone.
