This article examines the actions of the 1inch security team aimed at protecting users, products, and services of the company.
Role of the 1inch Security Team
The internal 1inch blockchain security team plays a key role in maintaining the blocklist database, which spans 1inch products such as the dApp, wallet, and developer portal infrastructure. Blocking addresses linked to suspicious or confirmed illegal activities makes 1inch products, as well as user interactions with them, more secure.
Monitoring and Transaction Analysis
The 1inch security team diligently monitors blockchain transactions to spot suspicious activities. Using advanced analytics and forensic tools, they analyze transaction patterns to uncover potential illicit activities such as money laundering, fraud, or the financing of illegal operations. The team also works on front-end monitoring to prevent DNS spoofing and other types of attacks against the 1inch user community.
Tools and Specialist Expertise
The team actively deploys screening tools to identify risks based on specific address activities, for instance, when an address exhibits unusual behavior or actions characteristic of money laundering. Specialists like Caleb Rippey have significant professional experience.
> “My experience originates from exploring 1inch related support cases using Etherscan and other tools,” Caleb says.
The tools Caleb uses include blockchain explorers like [Blockscan](https://blockscan.com/), as well as tools like [Arkham](https://www.arkhamintelligence.com/) for address labeling.
> “Tools like [MetaSuites](https://blocksec.com/metasuites), [MetaSleuth](https://metasleuth.io/) and [BlockSec](https://blocksec.com/) are good for tracing connected wallets based on transfers and contract interactions,” he explains. “[Dedaub](https://dedaub.com/), [EVM Codes](https://www.evm.codes/) and [evm.monster](https://evm.monster/) are great tools, as well.”
The 1inch security team uses various tools and analytic solutions to detect and combat violations in Web3, constantly upgrading the internal blocklist and conducting ongoing threat assessments.
