we built defend because cryptocurrency theft continues to surge at an alarming rate. in just the first half of 2025, over $1.2 billion worth of crypto assets have been stolen globally - highlighting a persistent vulnerability in the ecosystem. of that, more than $280 million was stolen from the solana network alone, a blockchain increasingly targeted due to its growing popularity and unique wallet infrastructure. as adoption increases, so does the sophistication of scams, phishing attacks, and wallet drainers, leaving everyday users dangerously exposed.

the decentralized nature of crypto, while empowering, also enables criminals to operate with relative impunity. without centralized authorities or traditional financial safeguards, tracking and recovering stolen funds becomes incredibly difficult. but we believe it doesn't have to be this way. defend was created to be a frontline defense—protecting users before theft happens, rather than reacting after the damage is done. we're here to make crypto safer for everyone, because security shouldn't be optional in a decentralized world.
