The start of May was filled with key updates and powerful features. From new security partnerships to deeper analytics and reflections on the true value of crypto, we continued pushing forward to make Web3 safer for all DeFiers.
Partnership with SushiSwap
We announced a partnership with SushiSwap to make Defi safer than ever.
SushiSwap integrated the De.Fi Crypto Antivirus API into their platform, to add a critical layer of protection against common threats like:
• Transfer locks
• Honeypots
• Malicious token behaviors
• And other hidden traps
This collaboration ensures web3 users can trade, swap, and explore with confidence.
With SushiSwap now supported by De.Fi’s security infrastructure, users are protected from some of the most deceptive risks in the space.
Portfolio Visibility Like Never Before
We kicked off the month by highlighting the Analytics Tab in the De.Fi Dashboard – your go-to feature to truly understand where your crypto lives.
You can now get a complete breakdown of:
• Chain Allocation: instantly see how your assets are distributed across Ethereum, BNB, Arbitrum, Base, and 30+ other chains.
• Protocol Allocation: know exactly how much is in Curve, Sushi, Beefy, and other protocols.
• DeFi vs CEX: quickly compare your decentralized vs centralized holdings.
• Stablecoins vs Volatile Tokens: evaluate your risk exposure in real-time.
No spreadsheets. No stress. Just full visibility.
Is Crypto Still Early?
Our CTO, Artem, tweeted about one of the most debated questions in the space:
“Is crypto still in its early days?”
His answer: Yes and no.
From an adoption standpoint, we’re still early, most people don’t understand blockchain tech, real-world use cases are limited, and regulation is just forming.
But from a market cycle perspective, crypto has matured, Bitcoin is over 15 years old, the ICO wave has come and gone, NFTs had their boom, and institutions like BlackRock are already in.
Artem’s key takeaway:
We’re early in infrastructure, usability, and real utility – but not in awareness or presence.
The De.Fi REKT Database
We also highlighted one of our most essential features – the De.Fi REKT Database, a real-time archive of Web3’s biggest hacks, exploits, and mistakes.
• $88B+ in total losses tracked
• 3,000+ cases registered
• Multichain support (ETH, BNB, Solana, and 35+ others)
• Fully searchable by project, exploit type, date, and more
It’s become a critical resource for builders, devs, journalists, and investors doing due diligence.
And it’s already making an impact:
On September 10th, Congressman Stephen F. Lynch referenced our data from this database during a U.S. House Committee session on the future of crypto regulation.

What Would We Lose If Crypto Disappeared?
In a recent thread, our CTO, Artem, raised an important question:
“What would actually change if crypto disappeared tomorrow?”
His answer was a clear reminder of why crypto matters.
First, crypto brought permissionless access. Anyone could build, invest, or send money without needing approval from banks or middlemen.
Then there’s the community. One of the few places where people from around the world connect, build, and share ideas 24/7.
Crypto also introduced transparency. On-chain data made everything public and traceable, pushing traditional systems to rethink how they operate.
And above all, crypto gave people hope – a way out of broken economies, jobs they didn’t believe in, and systems that didn’t work for them.
Artem’s final point was simple:
It’s not just about losing tokens or blockchains. It’s about losing a whole way of thinking.
Do we really want to go back to how things were before crypto?
We Won’t Stop Innovating
From releasing an enhanced analytics dashboard to empowering SushiSwap with new security layers, early May was about clarity, safety, and reflection.
Let’s keep building, learning, and staying safe together.
De.Fi Team💙
