Institutions need a way to evaluate DeFi risk. Organizations need a path to institutional adoption. Introducing the Web3SOC, the framework that evaluates security, governance, financial resilience, and compliance.

Fully onchain RWAs demand rigorous security standards, especially when scaling access to pre-IPO equity and private credit. Proud to sponsor this initiative with @plumenetwork as they push institutional-grade assets onchain.

What’s the difference between access control in Web2 and key management onchain? Cantina’s new guide maps institutional operating models to decentralized infrastructure. If you’re deploying, integrating, or evaluating decentralized systems, this reference is built for you.

The BNB Chain Kickstart Program connects new organizations with essential tools and infrastructure across the ecosystem. Apply to join here:

Cantina is now an official @BNBChain Kickstart Program service provider. Organizations building on BNB Chain can access a full range of Cantina security services, including smart contract audits, incident response, bug bounty programs, and crowdsourced competitions.

This release is not about feature parity, it is about building the operating system for real time security collaboration.

And it is not just visibility. Saved filters, scoped repo access, submission deposits, and 48 hour reminder flows help reduce noise and keep workflows sharp.

Clients get a full dashboard overhaul. Bounties, competitions, reviews are all visible in one place with findings that need action surfaced immediately.

Notes on findings improve collaboration across roles. Triagers, clients, and judges now share key context directly in the interface with no lost threads or external trackers

Safe Harbor is now fully supported on Cantina. Organizations can offer legal protection to researchers during an exploit with on-chain terms and access to the Security Research Legal Defense Fund.

War rooms start at the finding level. When critical bounty submissions land, Cantina now triggers an on-call escalation connecting researchers, triagers, and incident responders in minutes.

Security teams are tired of chaotic handoffs and passive bounty pipelines. Cantina is building infrastructure for active coordination, legal protection, and instant incident response exactly when it’s needed most. Let's break it down.

Crypto is not missing features, it is missing operational readiness. The organizations that close that gap will define the next phase of adoption. The full recap is available here:

Cantina’s GTM @bitbugshar shared why security cannot stop at smart contracts. Safety must be treated as a system-wide design principle - from wallet infrastructure and multisig controls to interface-level heuristics that prevent user error.

What’s still holding crypto back from broader adoption? 🪐 At Hack Seasons Singapore, Cantina joined Mastercard, Mercuryo, and Babylon Labs to examine the barriers to mainstream adoption. Recap below.

Get ready: In 2 days, @_hrkrshnn and @pumpernikhil will break down the rise of compliance-first DeFi infra and what’s next for regulated rails in a permissionless world. RSVP here:
