Fuse and Check Point Are Revolutionizing Blockchain Security with AI-Powered Firewall

Hang onto your hats, crypto fans! Fuse and Check Point are teaming up to create a blockchain firewall that's not just watching your back—it's actively stopping those nasty, unsafe transactions dead in their tracks!

AI is the secret sauce in crypto right now, especially when it comes to keeping things secure. On a steamy Tuesday, April 15, the layer 2 blockchain powerhouse Fuse joined forces with the cybersecurity wizards at Check Point to whip up an AI-powered threat-prevention layer that's going to change the game!

🕸️ Web3 needs security that can keep up with the lightning-fast pace of blockchain.

Check Point + @Fuse_network are crafting the first real-time blockchain firewall that's gonna stop threats cold before they even get close to your wallets, smart contracts & transactions! #BlockchainSecurity #Web3 #CyberSecurity

This badass security layer for the Fuse network is going to use AI to scan transactions before they're done and dusted. If the AI spots something fishy, it'll use its super-smart training data to figure out if it's a scam or not!

“Prevention is always better than a cure,” declared Fuse CEO Mark Smargon with a grin. He's stoked about setting a new standard for protecting layer two networks with this cutting-edge tech.

“With Check Point providing a dedicated security layer, we’re confident that we can not only outsmart those crafty hackers but set a new gold standard for protecting web3 protocols,” Mark Smargon, Fuse CEO, said with a fierce determination.

Security is Still a Major Headache in Web3

Sure, web3 tech has been making strides, but its security issues are still scaring off the mainstream crowd. Since every transaction on the blockchain is set in stone, clicking the wrong smart contract or sending your funds to the wrong address can be a total disaster!

To get the everyday Joe interested, crypto protocols need some seriously tough anti-hacking and anti-fraud measures, according to Dan Danay, Head of Web 3.0 Security at Check Point.

“Just like robust cybersecurity fueled the rise of Web 2.0, real-time prevention is going to be the key to Web3’s mainstream takeover,” Dan Danay, Check Point, declared with conviction.

Just to give you an idea, crypto hacking losses hit a whopping $98.19 million in January alone, even with asset prices tanking. Sure, that's a 39% drop from the $160 million we saw in January 2024, but hacking risks are still the boogeyman everyone's worried about. And don't forget about those phishing attacks—they racked up $10.25 million in the same month!
