Vera

In March 2022, the Ronin Network suffered an exploit that resulted in over $600 million in stolen assets. One incident. Thousands of users affected. A painful reminder of how quickly things can go wrong in crypto. This is the kind of reality that drives what we’re building at Vera. Our mission is to make security investigation more accessible, helping people understand suspicious wallets, links, transactions and digital identities through available evidence. And we’re taking things further. We’re working on something There’s a lot taking shape behind the scenes. The next chapter of Vera is going to be exciting. Vera. Know before you act.

@binance says a hack has affected around $6.3 billion in funds, roughly four times the amount hit in the Bybit theft of February 2025, the previous record. The exchange paused deposits and withdrawals and pledged to cover customer losses. Moments like this produce a flood of claims, and many of them are unverified. Vera is built for exactly that situation. We investigate first, so people can act on evidence rather than headlines. Here is what the evidence shows so far, including details that received less attention

There’s more to the picture than meets the eye. Vera is quietly working on something that could change how you investigate before you act. We’re not revealing much just yet. But the next chapter is closer than you think. Stay tuned.

Something bigger is taking shape at Vera. We’re working behind the scenes to bring more of the onchain world into one place for investigation. No noise. No blind trust. Just evidence. Stay close.

Your wallet doesn't live on one chain. Soon, neither will VERA. Something big is coming Anticipate ! ! ! vera-build.site

On the evening of October 17, a security alert landed on people's phones. It didn't come from a random number or a strange email. It came through the real notification system of a hardware wallet company's own app. The message was urgent. Something about securing their wallet. It linked to a page that asked them to confirm their recovery words. Think about who these people were. They owned hardware wallets. They were the careful ones. The ones who did everything right. And still, in a few hours, 84 wallets were emptied. Roughly $2.65 million, across six blockchains, gone before midnight. Attackers hadn't broken the wallets. They'd broken into the outside service the app used to send push notifications. Once they controlled the alerts, they controlled the moment. That's how almost every scam works. It isn't the technology that fails. It's the few seconds between seeing something urgent and acting on it. A familiar logo. A trusted channel. A deadline. Your brain fills in the rest. There's one rule that would have saved every one of those wallets: no legitimate wallet, exchange or support team will ever ask for your recovery phrase. Ever. But rules are hard to remember when you're panicking. So we built something for that exact moment. VERA lets you paste the message, the link, the wallet or the transaction you're about to act on, and see what the evidence says before you do anything. It separates what was observed from what it means, and turns it into a clear next step. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to pause long enough to check.

THE LAST CLICK A short film, based on real scam patterns. One man. Four scams. One click away from losing everything. The FBI logged $20.9 billion lost to internet crime last year. This is how it happens. Know before you act. vera-build.site

Someone sent $10 to test a wallet address before a big payment. It went through. Everything looked fine. So they sent the real amount. 30,749.80 USDT. It never reached the person they meant to pay. Here's what actually happened. A few days earlier, a scammer had sent them a tiny transfer, almost nothing, from an address designed to look exactly like one they'd paid before. Same first few characters. Same last few characters. Most wallets only show you those, so the fake sat quietly in their transaction history, waiting. When it was time to pay, they did what most of us do. Opened their history, copied the address, sent a test. The test went to the scammer. Then the real payment followed it. This is called address poisoning, and it isn't rare. In 11 months, 4.5 million Solana wallets received these lookalike transfers. More than 1,104 of them later paid the fake, sending over $940,000 to addresses they never meant to touch. The painful part is that the victim did the responsible thing. They tested first. But a test only tells you the address works. It doesn't tell you whose address it is. That's the gap VERA exists to close. Before you send, paste the wallet into VERA. It looks at the evidence available on that address and gives you a plain verdict: SAFE, CAUTION, REVIEW or NOT SAFE. Read-only. No wallet connection. Nothing to sign. One pause. One check. That's the difference between a payment and a loss you can't take back. Know before you act. vera-build.site

Billions of dollars are moving through crypto. So are billions of dollars in criminal activity. The question is: Are our tools keeping up? According to Chainalysis, crypto scams and fraud could have accounted for as much as $17 billion in 2025. TRM Labs separately estimated $2.87 billion stolen in crypto hacks and exploits during the same year. And one incident alone tells a story about the scale of the problem. In February 2025, the Bybit breach resulted in approximately $1.46 billion in stolen crypto, according to TRM Labs. These incidents are different. Scams, compromised infrastructure, and technical exploits do not all share the same solution. But they expose a common challenge: understanding risk in an ecosystem where websites, wallets, applications, transactions, and people are increasingly connected. Security information exists, but finding the right evidence, connecting the dots, and interpreting what it means can still be difficult. This is where we believe Vera has an opportunity. We’re building Vera toward something broader than a conventional link scanner. Our direction is to bring relevant security intelligence into a more connected investigation experience, helping people examine suspicious websites, domains, wallets, token activity, and other available signals. For everyday users, that means making complex information easier to understand before they act. For researchers and organizations, the broader opportunity is a more practical way to investigate suspicious activity, examine evidence, and build a clearer picture of potential risk. The long-term vision goes beyond a single check. We see opportunities for investigation workspaces, integrated risk intelligence, and tools that help other platforms make security information more accessible. There is a real market for security infrastructure. But we believe the value isn’t in adding more warnings to the internet. It’s in helping people understand what those warnings mean, what the evidence supports, and what still needs to be verified. That’s the direction we’re working toward with Vera. We’re building carefully, improving the foundation, and thinking beyond the next feature. The ambition is bigger than scanning links. The work is still underway. Vera ⇴ Know before you act.

In 2024, Check Point Research uncovered a fake WalletConnect app that attracted over 10,000 downloads and was linked to more than $70,000 in stolen crypto. The lesson is bigger than a malicious link. Something can look familiar, appear legitimate, and still lead users into dangerous interactions. This is part of the problem we’re thinking about at Vera. We’re building toward a more connected way to investigate digital risk, bringing together relevant signals from websites, domains, wallets, and on-chain activity to help people understand what they’re interacting with before they act. Not every risk can be caught by one check. And no tool can promise perfect protection. Our focus is making the available evidence easier to investigate, understand, and use. Vera is still evolving, and there’s more taking shape behind the scenes. We’re building with a bigger picture in mind. Vera ⇴ Know before you act

Vera is evolving. And we’re just getting started. Over the past few days, we’ve been putting serious work into Vera, refining not just how it looks, but how people investigate suspicious activity and make more informed decisions online. Here’s what we’ve been working on: → A more refined experience. We’ve continued improving Vera’s interface, tightening the layout and typography, and making the experience cleaner and easier to navigate. → A clearer investigation experience. We’re refining how users interact with Vera’s investigation console, with a focus on presenting information in a way that’s easier to understand and act on. → A stronger foundation. We’ve continued improving the project’s structure, documentation, and supporting pages to make Vera more transparent and easier for people to understand. → Building around evidence. Vera’s direction remains the same: help people investigate suspicious links, websites, wallets, and crypto activity before they take action. The goal is to make security intelligence more accessible without forcing everyday users to understand all the technical complexity behind it. → Growing the community. We’re opening up more ways for people to follow the journey, share feedback, and become part of what we’re building. But this is not the finish line. We’re working toward what comes next, with more improvements planned for the investigation experience and the broader Vera ecosystem. There is more to build, more to refine, and more to reveal. We’re not interested in shipping noise just to look busy. We’re focused on building something people can genuinely rely on. This is only one chapter of Vera’s story. The next one is already taking shape. Vera ⇴ Know before you act

HTTPS is important. But it isn’t proof that a website is trustworthy. Eight compromised certificate-authority keys linked to eMudhra have exposed a serious weakness in the internet’s trust infrastructure. Why it matters: these keys could be used to forge certificates for legitimate websites, potentially enabling impersonation and interception under the right conditions. Major browser vendors have moved to block the affected certificates. But the incident is a reminder that trust depends on more than a padlock icon. Before you connect your wallet, sign a transaction, or enter sensitive information, ask: • Is this the genuine website? • Does the requested action make sense? • What evidence supports trusting this service? Security isn’t just about whether a connection is encrypted. It’s about knowing what you’re trusting. Vera ⇴ Know before you act.

The Vera Community is officially taking shape. We’re building a safer internet and Web3, helping people make more informed decisions before interacting with suspicious links, websites, wallets, and crypto projects. Now, we’re opening the door for you to be part of the journey. Follow updates, join the discussions, share ideas, and help shape what comes next for Vera. Vera ⇴ Know before you act.

The Vera Community is coming soon. We’re building more than a security product. We’re building a community of people who believe the internet, Web3, and the crypto ecosystem should be safer for everyone. A place to connect, share ideas, discuss security, follow Vera’s development, and help shape what comes next. We’re preparing something meaningful, and we’d love to have you be part of the journey. Stay tuned. The Vera Community is launching soon. Vera ⇴ Know before you act.

You’ve seen what we’re building with VERA. Now, take a closer look at the Solana Investigation Terminal. From transaction tracing and address graphs to on-chain activity and risk intelligence, we’re bringing the evidence together in one workspace. VERA ⇴ Know before you act.

VERA- BUILD UPDATE VERA is evolving from a simple investigation tool into a more complete Web2 and Web3 trust intelligence workspace. Here’s what we’ve built and improved so far: 1. Solana Investigation Terminal Investigate wallet addresses and transaction signatures, trace observed transfers, inspect SOL and token movements, and explore relevant activity through blockchain explorer links. 2. Expanded Intelligence Integrated investigation pathways for Helius transaction data, Breadcrumbs intelligence, and DEX Screener context, helping bring on-chain evidence and token information into one workflow. 3. Investigation Workspace Built a dedicated case interface with: Overview Address Graph Transaction Flow Activity Analytics Risk Intelligence Evidence & Sources Investigator Notes Report Export 4. Better User Experience Added a collapsible investigation sidebar, mobile drawer support, and a layered animated background that keeps the interface focused on the evidence. 5. Interactive Product Education Created dedicated How It Works and FAQ pages, including an interactive walkthrough and searchable questions to help users understand the product. 6. Production Readiness Improved documentation around intelligence providers, investigation limitations, quotas, and disclosures. We also fixed direct-route handling for the FAQ and How It Works pages. 7. Engineering & Deployment The changes have been merged into the main branch, and the relevant GitHub Actions checks have passed. We’re building VERA around one principle: help people investigate before they trust, click, connect, or transact. We’re not here to manufacture certainty. We’re here to make evidence easier to understand. More soon including the Solana investigation panel walkthrough video. VERA ⇴ Know before you act

A little update on VERA. We’ve been working on making on-chain investigations more structured and easier to navigate. The new Solana Investigation Panel brings transaction tracing, address relationships, activity analytics, risk intelligence, evidence management, investigator notes, and report exports into one workspace. But we’re not calling it finished. VERA is still in beta. We’re testing, refining the experience, and exploring additional intelligence integrations to make investigations more useful and reliable. There’s more to build, more to test, and more to improve. This is just the beginning. VERA ⇴ Know before you act.

We’ve been building. Yesterday, we introduced a major upgrade to VERA: the new Solana Investigation Panel. The goal is simple: make on-chain investigation more structured, accessible, and easier to navigate. What’s new? • Solana Case Investigation: Investigate wallet addresses and transaction signatures in one dedicated workspace. • Transaction Tracing: Explore observed SOL and SPL token transfers, with transaction signatures and Solana Explorer links. • Address Relationships: Examine wallet connections and potential relationships between addresses. • Activity Analytics: Get a clearer view of transaction activity and patterns. • Risk Intelligence: Prepare for expanded intelligence signals and external provider integrations. • Evidence & Sources: Keep investigation evidence and supporting sources organised. • Investigator Notes: Record observations as you work. • Report Export: Export case findings in JSON for further analysis. We’ve also redesigned the investigation experience with a dedicated workspace, a collapsible sidebar, and a mobile-friendly navigation drawer, so the interface feels more organised instead of overwhelming users with everything at once. Important: VERA is still in beta, and we’re actively testing these features. On-chain patterns are investigative signals, not automatic proof of theft, identity, or wrongdoing. This is only the beginning. More testing, refinements, integrations, and updates are coming as we continue building towards a more useful trust and investigation platform. VERA ⇴ Know before you act.
