How to Prepare for a Web3 Security Incident
A practical framework built by Cantina and Hypernative to help security, ops, and protocol teams design a full-spectrum incident response system before an incident occurs.
Built by Cantina and Hypernative, this guide helps security, ops, and protocol teams design a full-spectrum response system, before an incident occurs.
Most Teams Are Not Ready
Web3 incidents happen fast. When vulnerabilities are found or exploits begin, alerts alone are not enough. You need structure, ownership, and execution that spans monitoring, engineering, governance, and communications.
This guide provides a practical framework to help your organization:
- Evaluate how prepared you are today
- Spot common blind spots before they create delays
- Coordinate prevention, escalation, and response in real-time
A Proven Framework for Real-World Readiness
- Security lifecycle: Audits, bug bounties, detection, response
- Real-world case patterns and where coordination breaks
- Step-by-step response layers across Signal, Surface, Structure, Stress, and Shield
- Practical checklists for leaders across technical and non-technical teams
- Guidance from Cantina’s Incident Response experts and Hypernative’s detection teams
Who Should Read This
This guide is built for:
- Security leaders preparing for incident response in Web3
- Protocol teams managing capital, contracts, and governance
- Institutions assessing operational controls across integrations
- Technical and non-technical stakeholders building risk infrastructure
Built By Leaders in Web3 Security
