GoPlus's Security Track: From Behind the Scenes to the Forefront

Recently, a certain on-chain security project announced the details of its tokenomics and is about to conduct a token generation event. This not only marks significant progress for the project on its commercialization path but also indicates that the security track is moving from behind the scenes to the forefront, becoming an indispensable core component of the Web3 ecosystem.

For a long time, the security sector has not been seen as a particularly attractive narrative, especially during bull markets. Compared to areas that can directly monetize during bull markets (such as DeFi, NFTs, Memecoins), projects in the security field often seem less prominent. However, as the complexity and risks of on-chain interactions continue to increase, the security sector is being redefined and revalued.

The "Low Profile" and "Attractiveness" of the Security Track

The main reason why the security track seems less attractive is that everyone knows security is one of the important foundations for the development of the industry. However, precisely because it is recognized as a market with real application scenarios, it is not as eye-catching as some conceptual projects.

However, the "low profile" of the security track does not mean it is insignificant; on the contrary, it indicates that its business model is more fundamental and has greater longevity. It is worth noting that the prosperity of all tracks is built on one premise — security. Whether it is DeFi, NFTs, or GameFi, users' participation hinges on their trust in the safety of their assets. However, the frequent occurrences of hacking attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and phishing scams have directly impacted the foundation of trust in the market.

From this perspective, the value of the on-chain security track lies not in its ability to directly attract millions of users, but rather in the fact that its development is essentially the moat and confidence behind the rise of many other tracks. This also means that the greatest imaginative space for on-chain security projects lies in their potential to become the moat for other tracks.

Long-term Value of On-chain Security Track: Insist on Doing "the Right and Important" Things

It is necessary to clarify a common misconception: many people mistakenly believe that the niche of on-chain security projects corresponds to the niche of traditional security auditing companies. Due to the poor performance of certain security auditing company tokens, the entire security sector is deemed unattractive. However, this viewpoint overlooks the essential differences in business models and target users among various security projects.

Traditional security auditing companies primarily serve project parties, adopting a B2B business logic. Project parties submit their code to the auditing company for review and pay a fee, with the goal of helping project parties ensure code security and prevent losses due to vulnerabilities. The core of this model is pre-audit, relying on security agencies to conduct comprehensive audits for the B side.

However, security issues in the Web3 world go far beyond code vulnerabilities. Complex threats such as social engineering scams, phishing attacks, and MEV attacks exceed the capabilities of traditional code audits. Merely ensuring the correctness of the code does not guarantee absolute security.

Unlike traditional audits, the new type of security project is the first user-centered security project, aimed not at serving the project party, but at directly solving security issues for users. For example, by leveraging its own security capabilities, it enables major applications to be used while ensuring user safety. In addition, it supports multiple chains, allowing users on different chains to enjoy security protection, and has developed a plugin product that users can download and use directly, providing comprehensive on-chain security guarantees.

Therefore, the innovation of these new types of security projects lies in upgrading security protection from the traditional "insurance mechanism" to a "security protection layer," covering every aspect of on-chain transactions, from transaction creation to final confirmation, providing real-time, dynamic security assurance. This comprehensive protection mechanism allows users to operate with peace of mind in complex on-chain interactions without the need to constantly be on guard against potential risks.

"Security Layer": The Real Moat in the Web3 World

As the "Dark Forest" continues to expand, the risks faced by on-chain assets are becoming increasingly complex. Contract vulnerabilities, phishing attacks, and malicious authorizations have become commonplace for every on-chain player, making a security protection system that can provide multi-faceted protection for users particularly important.

OnChain is an extremely attractive track, and the "security layer" is not just a security tool. Like certain projects related to on-chain liquidity and oracle price feeds, it naturally integrates into users' daily interactions, becoming the "invisible shield" of the Web3 ecosystem.

For example, during the transaction initiation phase, the "security layer" can detect whether the user is interacting with malicious addresses or phishing websites; during the transaction execution phase, it can monitor on-chain dynamics in real time to intercept potential malicious transactions (such as sandwich attacks); during the transaction confirmation phase, it ensures the legality and immutability of the transaction result through a multi-level verification mechanism of smart contracts.

For ordinary users, the greatest value of the "security layer" lies in its "invisible" protection. Users do not need complex configurations or additional operations; they can simply install a security plugin or use a wallet integrated with security features to enjoy comprehensive security protection.

Especially for users who are afraid of on-chain interactions, such security projects allow them to participate in on-chain activities with confidence, even saving crucial seconds when "rushing to buy a meme coin," while also mitigating potential risks in the future. This comprehensive protection mechanism enables users to operate with peace of mind in complex on-chain interactions without having to constantly be alert to potential risks.

The market influence and user base of a certain blockchain security project have been widely validated. As of now, the project has supported over 30 public chains and has been integrated by multiple leading players in various sectors such as mainstream wallets and DEXs. Its average daily call volume exceeds 34 million times, with a cumulative call volume of over 4 billion times, covering more than 90% of on-chain transactions and serving over 12 million on-chain users.

Traditional on-chain security models are more of a "remedial insurance mechanism" after the fact, while the new "security layer" elevates security to a "protective layer" for each transaction. This shift not only enhances user trust in on-chain interactions but also lays the foundation for the long-term prosperity of the Web3 ecosystem.

Conclusion

The sentiment during a bull market is very anxious, as everyone wants to ride the wave and make a lot of money. But the truth is that whether it's individuals or projects, there are always very few prodigies.

The market's opportunities often resemble an illusion—only those projects that have been around long enough and provided sufficient value can stabilize their footing after the initial hype, gaining sustained attention and growth. Looking at the projects that ultimately achieved significant results in the recent bull markets, none of them did not persist in doing what they believed was "correct and important," taking one step at a time, and ultimately reaping the rewards in their own season.

Some people have chosen a more fundamental and challenging path, diligently working to do things that are most helpful to users. Although the work is basic, it is what the market needs the most—both in terms of projects and spirit.
