What Hexagate does

Hexagate is a blockchain security platform that delivers real-time, on-chain threat detection and automated prevention for Web3 protocols, centralized exchanges, Layer-1 and Layer-2 chains, and digital asset managers. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company builds ML-driven products that analyze blockchain transaction patterns across more than 75 chains to identify and stop exploits, phishing attacks, governance abuse, and wallet compromise before funds move. The product architecture is platform-plus-modules: a core Hexagate Blockchain Security Platform is paired with the Wallet Compromise Detection Kit (real-time wallet anomaly detection), GateSigner (a pre-signing transaction simulation co-signer compatible with Safe wallet), Gatelang (a proprietary custom detection language), and segment-specific modules for exchanges, protocols, and chains.

The platform's technical foundation rests on machine learning models trained on Chainalysis's ten-plus years of multi-chain blockchain intelligence, accessible through Chainalysis's acquisition of Hexagate announced on 2025-11-09. Hexagate reports detecting 98.4% of hacks before they occur and protecting more than $120 billion in digital assets. The company runs an enterprise sales motion with quote-based annual subscription contracts, direct field sales, and 'Request a demo' CTAs; deployments integrate with Fireblocks MPC wallets, Safe multisig, and enterprise SIEM/SOAR systems for alerting and automated response workflows. Customer evidence includes incident response work with Bybit and Venus Protocol, testnet security for Tempo (a Stripe/Paradigm-incubated Layer-1), and post-incident analysis engagements with exchanges including a $35M South Korean hot-wallet exploit case.

Following the November 2025 acquisition, Hexagate operates as a wholly-owned product line within Chainalysis's 'Crypto Security & Fraud' category, leveraging Chainalysis's distribution to 1,500+ organizations and brand authority in blockchain intelligence. Pre-acquisition, the company had raised $8.6M in seed funding (May 2022) led by Entrée Capital, and leadership comprises CEO Yaniv Nissenboim and CTO Niv Yehezkel. Post-acquisition product momentum has continued with the launch of the Wallet Compromise Detection Kit and GateSigner, plus the January 2026 release of automated response solutions targeting centralized exchange buyers.

Core offering

Hexagate delivers an adaptive, real-time blockchain security platform that detects and automatically prevents on-chain threats — including key compromises, phishing, governance attacks, smart-contract exploits, and malicious transactions — across 75+ chains. Its ML models are trained on more than a decade of Chainalysis blockchain intelligence and are delivered via a core platform plus specialized modules (Wallet Compromise Detection Kit, GateSigner co-signer) and vertical offerings for exchanges, DeFi protocols, and Layer-1/Layer-2 chains.

Product overview

Hexagate is a blockchain security platform acquired by Chainalysis, offering a unified platform-plus-modules architecture. The core Hexagate Blockchain Security Platform delivers adaptive, real-time, on-chain threat detection and automated prevention across 75+ chains, powered by ML models trained on Chainalysis' 10+ years of blockchain intelligence data. The platform is organized into three target-segment modules: Hexagate for Exchanges (protecting against hot-wallet compromises and private key theft), Hexagate for Protocols (guarding DeFi against hacks and governance attacks), and Hexagate for Chains (securing Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks). Key product modules include the Wallet Compromise Detection Kit (real-time ML-driven wallet anomaly detection), GateSigner (pre-signing transaction simulation co-signer compatible with Safe wallet), and Gatelang (a programmable custom detection language enabling teams to build adaptive monitors). All modules share the core real-time monitoring, alerting, and automated response infrastructure, with protections spanning $120B+ in funds across protocols, chains, asset managers, VASPs, and wallets.

Emerging players

• Webacy: Digital asset security and risk platform offering wallet compromise detection and threat monitoring for crypto users and institutions. Adjacent competitor to Hexagate's wallet security products.
• Cyvers: AI-driven Web3 security and real-time exploit detection platform targeting exchanges and protocols. Emerging competitor with overlapping ML-based anomaly detection capabilities to Hexagate.

Direct peers

• Blockaid: Web3 security platform offering real-time transaction simulation, wallet compromise detection, and scam prevention for wallets, exchanges, and protocols. Closest direct competitor to Hexagate on pre-signing simulation and threat detection.
• Forta: Decentralized real-time threat detection network for Web3, with monitors for exploits, governance attacks, and anomalies across protocols. Competes with Hexagate's adaptive monitors and custom Gatelang language.
• Blowfish: Provides real-time transaction simulation and wallet security APIs for Web3 applications and wallets. Directly competes with Hexagate's GateSigner on pre-signing simulation and malicious transaction blocking.
• Pocket Universe: Wallet security tool focused on pre-signing transaction simulation and phishing protection. Competes with Hexagate's GateSigner and Wallet Compromise Detection Kit in the wallet security layer.
• Hypernative: Web3 security platform offering real-time threat detection, hack prevention, and automated response for protocols, chains, and asset managers. Direct competitor to Hexagate's enterprise platform.

Broad incumbents

• Fireblocks: Large MPC custody and wallet infrastructure provider that Hexagate explicitly integrates with and complements as the adaptive threat layer. Not a direct replacement but a broader incumbent whose customers overlap significantly.
• CertiK: Established Web3 security firm offering smart contract audits, formal verification, and SkyTrace monitoring. Competes with Hexagate on protocol security but from a broader audit-led portfolio rather than pure real-time monitoring.
• TRM Labs: Blockchain intelligence and compliance platform serving exchanges, financial institutions, and law enforcement. Adjacent to Hexagate through Chainalysis's own compliance suite; competes indirectly for the same enterprise security budgets.
