Hacken will be at @CryptoCanal in Amsterdam on September 4-5, covering both technical and strategic sides of Web3 security. Senior Offensive Security Engineer Abdelfattah Ibrahim is speaking on “Autonomous, Connected, and Compromisable: AI Agents in Web3.” He’ll examine how autonomy and connectivity change the security model for agents operating on-chain. Bryn Bennett, Head of Business Strategy at Hacken, will also be there to meet teams building and scaling digital-asset products. Connect and exchange perspectives on security, compliance, and institutional adoption. Attending Common S3nse? Connect with Bryn:

Hacken was built to make Web3 a safer place. Nine years in, that mission looks very different from where it started. It started with whether code holding digital assets was secure. That question has not gone away. But now it’s a part of a much more complex list of requirements: governance, cybersecurity, continuous monitoring, and regulatory compliance across dozens of articles at once. The reason requirements grew is visible in where the institutional capital is pointing. Major banks and consultancies project that blockchain will become a structural layer of public financial markets. They also name that barriers to broader adoption are trust and regulatory clarity, rather than technology. That alone signals how much has changed: the crypto of 2017 and the digital asset industry of 2026 are not the same thing. Hacken's solutions have expanded with each new requirement the market placed on digital assets: from smart contract audits in 2018 to establishing institutional trust with solutions for licensing, market entry, AI, resilience frameworks, CORE3 risk intelligence, crypto yield audit, and risk score today. More than 2,000 blockchain entities have gone through that process with us. Nine years later, the architecture of trust in digital assets is still being built.

Important notice regarding Neyro Network incident. Our team has reviewed all findings within our scope of engagement. In May 2026, Hacken conducted a smart contract security audit of two contracts on BNB Smart Chain, an initial review and a subsequent remediation review. Nothing beyond those contracts was in scope. Both contracts show no signs of on-chain exploit. The first has never been used since deployment. The second has processed many transactions, all invoking a privileged loop() function restricted to OPERATOR_ROLE — it takes the contract's USDT balance and calls increaseLiquidity() to add liquidity to an existing Uniswap position, with no swaps or arbitrary external calls. To date, no one from the Neyro team has reached out to us regarding this audit or the incident. Full report:
