Zapper lasted 7 years. Tally 6. Both gone this year, among 60+ crypto companies and projects that shut down or filed for bankruptcy between January and July. Bitcoin was down about half from its October 2025 peak as of late July. All of this was happening in a year whose first 6 months set the record for hack incidents, while audit prices were sliding across the market. I wouldn't have blamed anyone for cutting back to whatever still pays and waiting the year out, but we built instead, and all three of the things we built came out in August, two still in beta. One was Multisig Inspector, which is free and open source and runs entirely in your browser without storing anything. You point it at a Safe and it reads the owners, the threshold, the modules and the guards, then it decodes what a transaction is going to do before anyone signs it. We spent time on something we'd never charge for because 15% of the incidents in the first half of the year and roughly 76% of the money that was actually stolen, and a multisig with the wrong threshold is exactly that kind of infrastructure. Real developers have been using QuillShield v2 in beta through August. It's a 9 stage pipeline where specialist agents handle lending, DEX, vaults, stablecoins and access control separately, with a routing layer built on 134 vulnerability categories deciding which agent looks at what, and for the findings it's most confident in it writes a Foundry proof of concept test you can run yourself. Every finding it produces still goes in front of one of our human auditors before a client sees it. UsePulse is the one we built for ourselves first, because we needed a way to keep track of the relationships and the distribution work that brings audits in, and after using it internally, we opened it up to a few people. The audit team didn't slow down for any of it, and 12 projects went through in August, including an L1 chain and an RNG contract, with 155 findings reported and resolved across them and every report delivered on time.
