November was a month of focused work across the De.Fi ecosystem. From product upgrades to behind-the-scenes development, our team made significant progress on several key aspects. Alongside product highlights, our CTO, Artem, shared practical insights on why perfectionism can actually kill your startup. Here’s a closer look at what happened this month.
New Crypto Market – Company Holdings Page
We’ve updated our Crypto Market dashboard and enhanced it with the new Company Holdings page. It provides a transparent view of Bitcoin and Ethereum reserves held by public companies, funds, and major treasuries. By tracking which institutions are buying, selling, or holding, DeFiers gain early insight into market sentiment and capital flows that often shape broader price movements.
The dashboard highlights real-time changes in institutional positions – such as accumulation, profit-taking, or cycle shifts. This allows traders and analysts to identify emerging trends before they reach the news cycle. With this tool, we deliver a data-driven edge for anyone looking to make more informed decisions in today’s fast-moving crypto market.

De.Fi Shield – Your Personal Crypto Defender
De.Fi Shield is designed to solve one of the most overlooked risks in Web3 – unsafe or forgotten smart contract approvals. Every interaction with Dapps grants them certain permissions – often allowing contracts to move or spend tokens on a user’s behalf.
Over time, wallets accumulate dozens of these approvals, many of which remain active long after the user stops using the dApp. These lingering permissions are one of the most common reasons everyday users get hacked or drained.
De.Fi Shield provides a comprehensive security layer that scans wallets across 40+ chains, evaluates their exposure, and consolidates all active approvals into a single, easy-to-read dashboard. Users can check their personal Wallet Health Score, access detailed exploit reports, and instantly revoke risky or outdated permissions with just one click.
By replacing manual explorer checks with a single, unified dashboard, Shield makes proactive on-chain security effortless for everyone – from beginners to advanced users.

De.Fi Ultimate Security Suite
We’ve shared a quick guide overview of our most used Security Tools, describing how they can be helpful to you. The De.Fi Web3 Antivirus Suite is an all-in-one platform designed to put users in full control of their crypto journey. Trusted by over 1.5 million monthly users worldwide, it combines security, portfolio management, yield analysis, and social features into a single, self-custody experience.
Scanner uncovers hidden risks with detailed governance reports, threat detection, and honeypot checks, while Shield monitors 45+ chains, scores wallet health, and allows instant revocation of risky permissions. The upgraded Explore Yields tool provides sortable insights on top pools, APRs, and historical performance, all protected by Scanner.
Users can manage assets seamlessly through the De.Fi Dashboard, tracking wallets, deposits, rewards, and lending positions with full transparency. SocialFi turns your Web3 profile into an interactive hub, enabling network growth, on-chain tracking, and gamified engagement.
By integrating security, analytics, and networking, the De.Fi Suite empowers users to act smarter, stay informed, and confidently navigate the evolving Web3 landscape.
Perfectionism killed more startups than bugs
Recently, our CTO Artem shared his view on a tangible topic for many founders – perfectionism and why it often can be harmful for your business or startup. Drawing on over a decade of experience building Web3 products, he explains that the biggest threat to innovation isn’t bad code – it’s hesitation.
Waiting usually leads to missed opportunities, slower learning, and lost traction. Real progress comes from taking action: launch early, gather feedback, and iterate. Even imperfect launches provide insights that bring you closer to product-market fit faster than endless planning ever could.
Inspired by Wabi-sabi, the Japanese philosophy of embracing imperfection, Artem encourages builders to value iteration, growth, and the human side of creation. Focus on progress, not perfection, and your team will build better products.
A Secret Behind 7,000,000 Scanned Smart Contracts
Over the past years, we have analyzed more than 7 million smart contracts across 40+ chains, revealing the hidden risks that often go unnoticed. Uncovering a critical secret – the biggest risks aren’t just in code – they lie in governance and permissions. Across protocols, centralized ownership, missing rate-limit logic, and unchecked external calls remain the most common vulnerabilities.
Despite being overlooked, governance failures – risky structures, unrestricted admin rights, and hidden vulnerabilities – pose massive threats to users and projects alike. To address this, De.Fi Scanner’s Governance Tab exposes these invisible risks, combining static and dynamic analysis, real-time scoring, and an updated exploit database – including emerging 2025 attack vectors – to provide actionable insights.
After 7M+ scans, one truth stands out: smart contract security is holistic. Code, governance, and behavior must work together. De.Fi Scanner empowers users to navigate Web3 safely, detect hidden risks, and protect their assets from evolving threats.
De.Fi API – Build Smarter, Faster, Safer
De.Fi API is transforming how developers, projects, and institutions build secure and innovative Web3 applications. Trusted by industry leaders like CoinGecko, Avascan, and top universities worldwide, the API provides seamless access to real-time data, security tools, and analytics across 41+ blockchains and 350+ protocols.
With De.Fi API, users can integrate advanced solutions – such as Scanner, Shield, Audit and REKT databases, wallet balances, and liquidity insights – directly into their apps. Whether building a portfolio tracker, whale monitoring tool, De.Fi safety layer, or custom APY aggregator, developers can protect assets, scale securely, and innovate in minutes.
By combining high-tech, security-first design with flexible integration, the De.Fi API empowers builders worldwide to protect, analyze, and enhance their Web3 products efficiently and effectively.
