Polter Finance Strengthens Security with FailSafe Partnership

Polter Finance, a leading lending protocol, has announced a strategic partnership with blockchain security provider FailSafe to bolster its security system and prevent future exploits. This collaboration will enable the implementation of real-time threat detection and runtime security, adding an extra layer of protection to the platform’s existing security measures.

FailSafe’s runtime security solution is specifically designed to detect and neutralize threats before they can escalate, addressing common attack vectors in the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystems. This advanced security solution will help Polter Finance to identify and mitigate price distortions and liquidity manipulations, as well as detect malicious contract calls and suspicious wallet activity.

Re-Launch and Enhanced Security Features

Following the partnership, Polter Finance plans to re-launch itself on Sonic and Base blockchains. The platform will also employ FailSafe’s security solution, which can activate an automatic threat response that pauses smart contracts and freezes suspicious transactions. This enhanced security feature will provide an added layer of protection for users and reinforce the protocol’s resilience.

Preventing Future Exploits

In November 2024, Polter Finance lost at least $8.7 million in a price oracle manipulation attack, where an exploiter used flash loans to artificially inflate token prices, allowing them to drain millions in unauthorized loans. To prevent such an attack from occurring again, Polter Finance will utilize FailSafe’s security solution, which is equipped to detect and prevent similar threats.

WhichGhost, founder of Polter Finance, views the November 2024 attack as a “wake-up call” that made the firm realize they had to take more advanced measures that went beyond traditional audits. “FailSafe’s platform gives us the tools to detect, prevent, and respond to threats instantly—protecting our users and reinforcing our protocol’s resilience,” said WhichGhost in a statement.

Aneirin Flynn, CEO of FailSafe, emphasized the importance of runtime security in the DeFi space. “DeFi security must evolve. Hackers don’t wait—why should security?” said Flynn.

Tips for DeFi Platforms to Enhance Security

To prevent similar exploits, DeFi platforms can take the following steps:

  • Implement real-time threat detection and runtime security solutions.
  • Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments.
  • Utilize automatic threat response systems to pause smart contracts and freeze suspicious transactions.
  • Collaborate with whitehat hacker groups to combat cybersecurity threats.
