a new ClickFix-style attack targeting swap aggregators operates entirely in the browser. It rewrites deposit addresses AND fakes exchange rates so victims think they're profiting.
this one's clever and could be copied everywhere.

The “Onchain Compliance Toll Gate” era is ending.
If your onchain compliance stack creates more work than it removes, it’s not protecting you - it’s slowing you down.
Crypto has moved past the hype cycle. We’re in truth-seeking mode: real utility + real PMF - or you’re done.
Compliance isn’t a checkbox. It’s the precondition for existence.
It’s how you keep banking, keep partners, and keep legitimate customers.
The problem: too many onchain compliance stacks operate like toll gates:
* expensive, inflexible contracts
* brittle integrations
* alert floods that create fake work
* weak support when things break
* “…and your invoice includes a line item for ‘strategic alignment’.”
@CipherOwl is rebuilt for large-scale, AI-powered compliance automation.
Built for protocols and payment teams that need to move fast and stay clean.
What you get:
* No fake work - and much fewer false positives, clearer risk explanations
* Always-on automation - monitoring, triage, investigation, reporting 24/7
* Cross-chain clarity — one view of entities + behavior across networks
* No lock-ins. If we’re not the right fit, we refund you in full.
If you’re building in payments/protocols and want compliance that scales with product velocity, DM me / @CipherOwl or just put an entry to our inbox - https://t.co/Jx9g6yFANg
CipherOwl's @zed_mart is speaking at the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators (@iafci) event today.
The biggest bottleneck in modern financial crime isn’t lack of data.
It’s time.
Crimes are now automated and cross-chain, but investigations are still mostly manual. That mismatch is determining which cases get solved and which never had a chance.
Excited to share what we’re seeing from the front lines.
CipherOwl is proud to be part of the @chainlink ACE partner ecosystem, helping to define the standard for the industry to run compliance.
Our intelligence layer delivers adaptive, explainable risk scoring to power more agile, evidence-based compliance policies across ACE.
Today we’re launching the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) partner ecosystem, featuring 20+ leading compliance providers, frameworks, & regulators powering the next generation of onchain compliance ↓
The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem is a network of trusted vendors whose solutions are now natively compatible with ACE.
These partners recognize ACE as the standard for onchain compliance and are integrating their data & services directly into ACE to unlock complete compliance, monitoring, & reporting solutions.
At launch, the Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem includes:
IDENTITY PROVIDERS
• GLEIF—Brings trusted global identity standards to ACE users.
• World—Connects its decentralized World ID to ACE users, allowing World’s proof-of-human protocol to be composed anonymously with data from other ACE partners.
• SumSub—Enables reusable digital identity for users to leverage within ACE through SumSub’s KYC/KYB.
• Persona—Allows ACE users to leverage reusable digital identity via Persona’s KYC/KYB verification.
• Proof—Provides cryptographically secure, verified digital identities for ACE users—both individuals & organizations—to sign and protect their transactions.
• Veridian by the Cardano Foundation—Enables ACE users to issue GLEIF’s vLEI-based credentials offchain, which are then delivered onchain in the form of CCIDs.
RISK SCORING PLATFORMS
• Chainalysis—Streams wallet and transaction risk scores directly into ACE policies for institutional-grade AML controls.
• TRM Labs—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block sanctioned or high-risk activity.
• Hypernative—Provides real-time risk intelligence to ACE, enabling issuers and protocols to block high-risk activity.
• CipherOwl—Delivers risk scores into ACE to power agile, customizable compliance rules.
• Llamarisk—Audits ACE-enabled tokens to provide independent risk scores and assessments.
MONITORING & REPORTING
• Bluprynt—Designs, runs, and manages compliance policies directly on ACE for institutions, while also fulfilling regulatory reporting obligations via automated disclosures and regular or on-demand compliance reports.
• Hacken—Builds real-time security monitoring and alerting on top of ACE to detect threats and abnormal behavior.
• Kaiko—Delivers market data and analytics leveraging ACE transaction data logs.
• Hummingbird—Offers a case management and automated SAR reporting solution on top of ACE.
TOKENIZATION PLATFORMS
• Apex Group—Enforces end-to-end compliance across its tokenization infrastructure.
• Chintai—Uses ACE to define investor and transaction eligibility requirements for Chintai assets in public blockchain environments.
BLOCKCHAINS & LAYER-2 NETWORKS
• Ethereum for Institutions—Co-designs and drives institutional adoption of ACE.
• Linea—Establishes ACE as the standard for compliance in the Linea ecosystem.
• Taiko—Leverages ACE for tokenization use cases within the Taiko ecosystem.
INDUSTRY FRAMEWORKS
• ERC-3643—Unlocks compatibility with the ERC-3643 token standard with ACE’s offchain policy.
• ERC-7943—Co-authored by Build member Brickken, the ERC-7943 token standard uses ACE to power compliance and interoperability.
• Digital Securities Initiative (DSI)—Recognizes ACE as a trusted compliance standard, and is collaborating with Chainlink Labs to make ACE compatible with DSI's regulatory frameworks.
The Chainlink ACE partner ecosystem establishes ACE as the industry standard for onchain compliance, uniting identity, risk, and regulatory infrastructure into the most complete, modular, and enterprise-grade compliance network for digital assets.

Our team left one of the leading exchanges in 2024 after years of building compliance infrastructure at petabyte scale.
We kept seeing the same problem: crypto was becoming a global rail for value but getting an accurate, timely picture of what was happening remained impossibly hard.
What institutions actually need:
→ Decisions that are machine-readable for agents AND human-auditable for regulators
→ Evidence attached to every alert and approval
→ Continuous monitoring, not periodic checks
→ Infrastructure that explains itself
That's what we've been building.
An intelligence layer that turns raw onchain flows into evidence institutions can lean on.
Announcement coming soon.🦉
