What we do
QuiverCrypto publishes forensic post-mortems of DeFi exploits, bridge hacks, private-key thefts, and social engineering attacks. Every article is built from on-chain data: transaction traces, contract bytecode, protocol state snapshots, and cross-chain message logs.
We publish independently — no affiliation with any protocol, no advertising, no sponsored content. Our only obligation is accuracy.
Our process
On-chain detection
We monitor mempool anomalies, large outflows, and unusual contract interactions in real time. Most investigations begin within minutes of an exploit.
Transaction reconstruction
We trace every relevant transaction — attacker wallets, flash loan sources, bridge calls, fund routing — and build a complete execution timeline.
Root cause analysis
We audit the vulnerable contract, identify the exact faulty logic or missing check, and explain why the flaw existed and why it wasn't caught.
Independent publication
We publish our findings before the protocol's official post-mortem. We do not share drafts with protocols in advance or accept editorial input.
Editorial standards
Every claim in a QuiverCrypto article is backed by a verifiable on-chain reference — a transaction hash, a block number, a contract address. We distinguish between confirmed facts and working hypotheses. We correct errors publicly and immediately.
We do not publish attribution claims (e.g. nation-state actors) without corroborating evidence from multiple independent sources. We follow the same standard of proof we'd expect from a court filing.
