Announcements Blockaid launches Bridge Sentinel, a new DVN bringing real-time threat intelligence monitoring to LayerZero’s cross-chain infrastructure Blockaid, the onchain security platform behind Coinbase, MetaMask, Uniswap, and Safe, has launched Bridge Sentinel, a DVN that screens each LayerZero message against its real-time threat intelligence before it signs.

Users and issuers who rely on LayerZero messaging are the ones who notice this first, because Bridge Sentinel is now available as part of the verification setup. That means message screening can sit inside the cross-chain process rather than outside it, and issuers can choose to require it for their assets.

Before this launch, the verification setup did not include Bridge Sentinel in LayerZero OFT issuers’ configurations. Now it can be added there, while the message-screening step itself remains tied to validation of LayerZero messages.
