About Hypernative
Hypernative monitors blockchain activity to detect and block threats through real-time analysis. The platform identifies over 200 risk types including contract exploits, frontend compromises, and private key theft. With automated protective actions including pausing contracts and moving funds, Hypernative helps protocols, asset managers, and exchanges maintain operations during attack attempts while safeguarding digital assets.
Skills
About the Role
You will investigate emerging blockchain threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors across smart contracts, protocols, economic systems, and off-chain infrastructure. You will analyze real-world attacks and convert research findings into detection and prevention capabilities. You will develop security tools, heuristics, rule sets, models, and research-driven logic for real-time threat detection and mitigation. You will identify Web3 security vulnerabilities and own significant technical-development segments, shaping security products for high security and efficiency.
