We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Venn, a collaboration that will significantly enhance the security of our ecosystem.

Our approach to security recognizes users’ necessity to feel safe while interacting with the Glue ecosystem. We understand that for users to adopt our platform they need to trust its designated “walled garden.” We are building this safe zone by endorsing specific protocols that meet our security standards, but we are also working to address vulnerabilities and mitigate risks that could impact users anywhere.

Venn is an on-chain security solution for smart contracts, using an open source Firewall built by Ironblocks. It examines transactions before and after execution to protect protocols from hacks. Venn offers easy integration, a user-friendly security management interface, and emphasizes community collaboration in advancing Web3 security.

Glue aims to intertwine the best parts of the traditional and decentralized world. When it comes to centralized finance, security and peace of mind could very well be the most important benefits. After we’ve brought the same safety and ease of mind to crypto we will have eliminated a major advantage of traditional finance.

As developers fixated on making Web3 technology accessible to mainstream users, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve our users’ experience and safety. This partnership is a major step forward in our commitment to providing a secure and user-friendly environment for everyone in our community.

How Venn enhances our security

Venn prevents exploit transactions before they reach the blockchain, securing transactions in real-time through a decentralized and modular network of security operators. This includes over 20 leading security and infrastructure firms like Sigma Prime and OtterSec. Operators assess the risk and add a small signature to each transaction. Venn ensures only legitimate transactions are processed while blocking malicious activity.

Thanks to our collaboration with Venn, Glue users can now enjoy an additional layer of security. We’re implementing a dedicated protected RPC (Remote Procedure Call) that we strongly recommend to all our users. Here’s how it works:

When you submit a transaction through this protected RPC, Venn’s decentralized network of security providers analyzes it. If they reach a consensus that the transaction might be malicious, it won’t go through. This constitutes an additional layer of defense against scams, exploits, and potential loss of funds.

Our users will now have access to transaction-level two-factor authentication and a suite of other cutting-edge security tools. We’re taking the collaboration a step further by implementing Venn natively on all Glue-launched dApps.

This means that our DApps themselves will be protected against exploits and other security threats — as long as they are identified.

Our shared vision of web3 security

At Glue, we’ve always believed that security is at the heart of a great user experience. It’s why we’re constantly innovating to provide the highest level of protection possible.

Our partnership with Venn aligns perfectly with this vision. Together, we’re working towards making our entire ecosystem so secure that even retail users without crypto experience can confidently venture on-chain.

Venn shares our excitement about protecting the Glue network and our users. They’re particularly thrilled to be part of an initiative that’s making an entire ecosystem secure enough for adoption by a new wave of users. This partnership is a significant milestone in our mission to bridge the gap between traditional and crypto finance.

What’s Glue?

For those who might be new to our community, we’d like to take a moment to reintroduce ourselves. We created Glue as an integrated blockchain network designed to make Web3 technology accessible without the usual complexity. Think of us as your comprehensive financial hub for Web3, with an interface as familiar and user-friendly as your favorite mobile finance app.

Our platform aims to allow you to manage multiple Web3 accounts in one place, combining advanced technology with user-friendly infrastructure. Our goal has always been to simplify cryptocurrency use for everyday life and business, making it accessible to everyone — regardless of their technical expertise.

By creating this intuitive and practical blockchain ecosystem, we’re aiming to attract millions of users and truly make crypto a part of everyday life. This partnership with Venn is a huge leap towards that goal, enhancing our security measures and making our platform even more trustworthy and accessible.

Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out even more innovative features. Together with Venn, we’re not just imagining a more secure and accessible Web3 — we’re building it.
