Description

Blockful builds research and technical infrastructure aimed at uncovering and mitigating hidden governance risks in DAOs, arguing that even well-audited protocols remain exposed to economic and behavioral attacks if governance itself is not monitored. Their flagship offering, Anticapture, combines a research framework, governance legibility tooling, and risk assessment into dashboards (covering delegates, proposals, economic behavior, and mechanism design) and notification systems for governance risks and proposals. They also provide governance security upgrades such as governor contract upgrades, calldata review services, and custom governance tooling and smart contracts, alongside delegate services where blockful accepts governance token delegation to strengthen protocol security. Their clients and testimonials include major DAOs and ecosystem players such as ENS, Uniswap, Giveth, Tané, and kpk, positioning Blockful as a specialized service provider for DAO treasuries and governance token holders seeking protection against governance capture attacks.
