As it turns out, crypto being regulated and supported by governments might be a better outcome than running away from them.
Years of decentralization theatrics, not your keys, not your crypto, hardware wallets, governance, etc mean very little when customers / businesses keep losing money to hackers / scammers.
Being able to freeze hacked or stolen funds, recover assets, reverse txns and protect customers should be a feature, not something that goes against cryptos ethos. Obv a fine line between government overreach vs pure decentralization
At the end of the day, every time someone loses money, we risk losing that user forever. And the more users we churn, the lower the chances of crypto actually succeeding.
Decentralization still matters, but we likely spent too much time optimizing for it, e.g like thorchain or Tornado Cash, where bad actors can take far more advantage of permissionless infra vs the avg user
While we spent far less time optimizing for customer centric features like trust, safety, fraud prevention, and recovery, which are arguably far more important for mass adoption.

Later today, we are officially ending all remaining support for the Iron Fish network.
A few days ago, we observed abnormal activity involving wIRON and the ChainPort bridge. After working with ChainPort and reviewing their logs, we discovered that the cause was an inflation bug in the Iron Fish blockchain itself.
We traced the bug to a commit from early 2019 in the Merkle tree implementation. The developer at the time implemented a standard Merkle tree. However, because of nuances in how a note’s nullifier is calculated (the mechanism that lets a normal user spend their funds), the attacker was able to spend the same note more than once.
The attacker then compounded the exploit, aggregated their notes, and exited through the ChainPort bridge. This code path was within the scope of both our external and internal audits, but the bug wasn’t caught during review.
For closure, we’ve committed the patch for the exploit, with a detailed postmortem included in the PR, before shutting down and archiving the ironfish repo.
The meta-analysis here is that software that can’t be upgraded immediately (most of crypto), is in an extremely precarious position. The ability to find and exploit vulnerabilities in technically complex code is becoming commoditized. Safety guardrails on US frontier models make it difficult for companies to use them to patch security vulnerabilities, while abliterated open-source models are approaching frontier capabilities.
We wish everyone all the best, and we hope crypto finds a path through this.
Thank you all.

End of an era.
Forever grateful to everyone who worked on Messari over the past 8 years for building such a fantastic data platform.
We'll steward it well.
After acquiring Messari, the unification is now complete at app.blockworks.com
As of today, messari.io redirects to Blockworks Intel, with Messari and Blockworks data and research all in one app. Screen the whole market, underwrite what you find, and get alerted when something material changes, all under one login.
The Messari API keeps running, and your key already works on the Blockworks Unified API, where all new features ship: docs.blockworks.com
