Crypto Security & SEAL's Mission
summary
Security Alliance (SEAL) describes concrete tools and outcomes: a coordinated rescue that saved a protocol with about $10 million TVL by using a single miner private API to bypass the public mempool; an operational 0911 emergency hotline linking victims to whitehat responders; a legal template called the Safe Harbor Agreement to authorize whitehat rescues; and active tracking and exchange coordination during the $1 billion Bybit flow, plus forensic handoffs to Mandiant and liaison work with the FBI on Lazarus.
