Every DeFi app has the same blind spot: the moment between clicking confirm and the transaction landing onchain.
Wallets show you a balance diff and a risk flag. That's not enough. Delegatecalls disguised as transfers, approvals that drain everything, implementation swaps hidden in storage slots, prop AMMs lying about output - none of that is visible until after you've confirmed the transaction.
Small Foresight update:
40+ teams have signed up since we launched it at @portals_fi
It started as an iternal tool to simulate DeFi txs without all the complex setup normally required.
Now it handles swaps, multisig flows, zaps, loops, reverts, traces, all DeFi primitives and weird calldata from real apps.
No fork setup, no funded wallet, and no approvals needed.
Just send the tx and see what happens.

One of the most underrated DeFi tools right now.
@portals_fi covers 400+ protocols and tracks over 30 million discrete yield-bearing positions.
I had no idea this existed at this scale until recently, and I can't figure out how I missed it.
For @roycoprotocol specifically, having everything in one place is very useful. You can see:
> Senior and Junior position APYs live across networks
> Pendle and other market integrations
Btw, the podcast they put out with @ShivaanshKapoor is amazing. Shiv walks through the protocol end to end and drops hints about what comes next.
We've been on Royco Dawn for roughly two months and apparently, the next version is already close 😳
If you're doing yield research, you must use Portals.
"Dawn senior tranches are the immaculate collateral. A better version of the underlying asset from a risk point of view."

Recent posts by Manuel Aráoz on AI and DeFi security have been widely circulated, and customers have asked whether they reflect OpenZeppelin's position. They do not.
Manuel co-founded OpenZeppelin and served as the company’s CTO until 2019 when he left the company.
Just checked and @portals_fi now covers 400+ protocols and 30+ MILLION discrete yield bearing positions. With coverage of apy, tvl, all transactions, consolidated metrics, holders, cross chain zaps and over 15 billion rows of historical data 🤯
Same thing is happening with me right now.
Using @krakenfx for 5 years, $2m worth of deposits/withdrawals and now they are asking for proof of funds (for the second time)
Have a $100k on there which I can’t withdraw or even send to another Solana address.
What is going on?
That makes Safe simulation useful before coordination starts.
Treasury ops, incident response, governance execution, Safe-based apps: if approval is the last mile, Foresight lets you inspect the route first.

Multisig simulations usually die at checkSignatures().
@portals_fi Foresight bypasses the Safe signature gate inside the simulator and shows the actual execution path.
Example: a 3/11 Safe moving 250k USDC to a demo wallet with no signatures required.

Foresight detects Safe execTransaction calls, verifies the live Safe threshold, owners, and nonce, then bypasses the signature gate inside the simulator.
The result is the part you actually care about: the call trace, token movements, gas, and any revert reason before anyone signs.
🚨 @EchoProtocol_ exploited on @monad
NOT a smart contract bug. Admin private key compromise.
Attacker minted 1,000 eBTC out of thin air, borrowed 11.3 WBTC from Curvance against it, bridged out. But how?
Let's go through the full chain of events with Foresight ↓ 🧵
The @yieldbasis opportunities yb-cbBTC and yb-WBTC TVL both stepped up sharply yesterday, hitting ~12% APY.
Same week, spot BTC ETFs printed $1b in net outflows.
Here's what's going on 🧵 (1/6)
