This Startup Aims to Be The Google Search Engine for Smart Contract Risk and Intelligence
- Trugard aims to be the “Google Search Engine” for smart contract risk and intelligence by providing actionable insights into the risks hidden in smart contracts.
- Smart contracts automate processes without intermediaries but their vulnerabilities expose billions of dollars to risk, so Trugard uses AI and machine learning to tackle this complex space.
- Trugard develops an AI engine that evaluates smart contract risk by using dynamic analysis to predict how contracts will behave in different scenarios, to find both current and potential risks such as DeFi exploits.
- The platform provides actionable recommendations to fix vulnerabilities so developers can secure their code before deployment and offers visibility into digital asset exposure for enterprises, as well as intelligence for wallet providers and custodians to secure transactions.
- Trugard’s full stack approach sets it apart from other blockchain security companies because it is built to detect and fix vulnerabilities while proactively mitigating risks.
- As the demand for robust security solutions grows in the blockchain industry, platforms like Trugard are building a safer, more resilient blockchain future.
- Trugard has partnerships with companies like Thirdwave and FYEO to add intelligence and tackle smart contract honeypots, respectively, and will continue to expand to serve more people and launch predictive analytics capabilities.
- Jeremiah O’Connor and Anoop Nannra co-founded Trugard Labs to address the critical gaps in security within the blockchain ecosystem and build trust in decentralized ecosystems.
- Smart contract risk intelligence is a must-have in the rapidly evolving and high-risk landscape of blockchain, and Trugard has the technology, partnerships, and vision for the future to meet this demand.

- Meta has been fined €251M ($263M) for a 2018 data breach affecting millions in the EU, marking another penalty for violating privacy laws.
- The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) fined Meta €251 million ($263M) for a 2018 data breach impacting 29 million Facebook accounts.
- The categories of personal data affected included: user’s full name; email address; phone number; location; place of work; date of birth; religion; gender; posts on timelines; groups of which a user was a member; and children’s personal data.
- Attackers exploited a vulnerability in the “View As” feature that allowed them to steal Facebook access tokens of the users, it allows users to see how others see their profile.
- The DPC fined Meta €251M for GDPR violations, citing insufficient breach notifications (€8M), poor breach documentation (€3M), design flaws (€130M), and default data protection failures (€110M).
- By allowing unauthorised exposure of profile information, the vulnerabilities behind this breach caused a grave risk of misuse of these types of data.”
- The hackers did not affect Facebook-owned Messenger, Messenger Kids, Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, Workplace, Pages, payments, third-party apps or advertising or developer accounts, the company said.
- We now know that fewer people were impacted than we originally thought,” said Facebook vice president of product management Guy Rosen in a conference call.
- The DPC found that MPIL had infringed these provisions, reprimanded MPIL, and ordered it to pay administrative fines of €110 million.
- This enforcement action highlights how the failure to build in data protection requirements throughout the design and development cycle can expose individuals to very serious risks and harms.

How to Secure Your Next.js E-commerce Site with RBAC and Permit.io
- When building an e-commerce application, or any application that has to factor in user roles or some role level access, proper authorization becomes a very important business detail.
- In this tutorial, we will be building an e-commerce site that allows a user to sign up, create a store, and add a store manager. We’ll learn how we can use Permit.io to implement role-based access control in our Next.js e-commerce app.
- Permit is a full stack authorization as a service platform that allows you to build and manage permissions for your application with a friendly SDK and API.
- RBAC is a method of regulating access to computer or network resources based on the roles of individual users within an organization. The main components of RBAC include: Roles, Permissions, Users and Resources.
- We need a way to sync the users in our app with the users on permit.io. To achieve this we need a unique way to identify our users. It doesn’t matter what method of authentication we are using, we just need a unique id for each user. For this project, we are using JWT, so we can decode our JWT and use the user ID or email to sync users to permit.
- Using Permit.io for role-based access control (RBAC) allows us to manage roles and permissions for the e-commerce application easily. We can create roles, add resources and manage the permissions for resources in the policy editor.
- We were able to enforce role-based access control by using permit API. With this API, we checked the permissions of the currently signed in user before rendering pages such as create store, inventory and add manager.
- In the add manager page, we checked if the current user had “Admin” rights and only enabled the form for adding managers if the user had permission.
- We have successfully used Permit.io in our Next.js app to enforce permissions and add co-ownership feature for store owners.
- The complete tech stack for this tutorial includes: Vercel Postgres our managed Postgres database, Drizzle for our ORM, and Next.js our full stack framework.
