FailSafe Interceptor

FailSafe Interceptor provides a unique value proposition for enterprises – the ability to stop a transaction in its tracks even after an attacker has broadcasted it. This elevates transaction security by operating independently of client-side code paths, ensuring comprehensive visibility over all enterprise transactions about to be imminently confirmed (by monitoring pending transactions across public, private, and internal streams). When FailSafe Interceptor identifies an unauthorized transaction, it swiftly deploys a counter-transaction that transfers at-risk funds to a secure, self-hosted smart contract wallet, which neutralizes the threat and secures assets away from attackers. It achieves this through the following innovations:

Low-Latency Response

Utilizes a globally-deployed infrastructure of servers to monitor memory pools, ensuring rapid detection and response to threats.

Comprehensive Transaction Visibility

  • Public and Private Streams: Monitors both public and private pending transaction streams for a broad overview of all potential threats.

  • Internal Transactions (X-Ray): Monitors smart contracts for internal transactions that do not appear in memory pools, providing deep visibility into contract activities.

Transaction Ordering

FailSafe Interceptor's transactions are prioritized by validators due to higher gas fees, ensuring they are processed before the attacker’s transaction.

Obfuscation

The self-hosted smart contract (Recovery Vault) is deployed only when an unauthorized transaction is detected. This prevents attackers from knowing whether an enterprise is protected by FailSafe Interceptor until it is too late, offering a strategic advantage in cybersecurity.

Gas Station

For enterprises that prefer not to manage gas, FailSafe can cover gas costs on their behalf. FailSafe is then compensated in the same transaction with the token it is protecting.
