As we sail through an era where cryptocurrencies are spearheading the fintech world and blockchain technology is revolutionizing traditional infrastructure models, the importance of ensuring high-level security has escalated.

Among the pioneers in augmenting this path to safety is our esteemed client, Cyvers, a frontrunner in proactive Web3 security. Our partnership with Cyvers, which excels in real-time detection and prevention of crypto attacks, has been a journey worth noting to say the least.

Cyvers’ strategy extends beyond just security provision. With their AI-based platform, they identify patterns and anomalies across Web3 in real-time, thereby spearheading proactive mitigation. Their portfolio, impressively broad, caters to everything from DeFi protocols and custodians to established financial institutions and crypto services.

We’re excited to share how Cyvers has leveraged Chainstack’s robust infrastructure and broad chain coverage to optimize their operation. Let’s explore the details.

Why Cyvers chose Chainstack as its infrastructure partner

When Cyvers first approached us, they were in search of a reliable, low-latency RPC provider that could guarantee dependable data delivery. They needed a round-the-clock assurance to ensure that no transactions or blocks on the blockchain were lagging behind with their synchronization—a key requirement for a company that proactively safeguards against crypto attacks.

Their impression of us was significantly positive, especially after they had realized the fantastic results during their testing phase with Chainstack. Despite running simultaneous tests with various data providers, Cyvers found a distinct resilience and reliability in our offerings.

Initially, Cyvers approached us to help them establish a full tolerance system. Moreover, they were looking to delegate the intricate and often tedious task of node maintenance, thus allowing them to focus more time and resources on their core competencies.

We offered a range of advanced features that particularly caught their attention. Our clean interface and broad chain coverage, coupled with debug and trace capabilities, made it easy for them to make the most of our platform.

Moreover, our affordable pricing model, specifically for archive data, made us a perfect fit for them, resulting in 67% lower costs than competitors. In turn, this has netted them an incredible ROI on archive nodes of 335%.

Cyvers on Chainstack in numbers

Cyvers currently employs a solid 11 active elastic nodes, deployed across multiple protocols like Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum, and Polygon to ensure expansive coverage across a broad spectrum of chains. And since Debug & Trace was primarily what they were after, a staggering 95% of all requests were processed by archive nodes.

Our multi-chain flexibility allows Cyvers to distribute requests across multiple chains. We saw about 37% of requests went to BNB Smart Chain, 33% to the Polygon network, just below 14% went to Avalanche, while Arbitrum and Ethereum both got roughly 8% each.

These numbers are a testament to the value Cyvers found in their partnership with Chainstack, and it highlights how they’ve efficiently used our extensive multi-chain coverage, affordability, intuitive interface, and extensive Debug & Trace capabilities to streamline their operations.
