Traditional smart contract audits catch baseline issues but miss real-world, post-deployment threats. Teams need continuous, real-time monitoring like they have for frontend/backend systems.
Hey, welcome to Guardrail! 👋 I'm Samridh, the Founder at Guardrail.
I've embedded my video interview below for you to watch.
I would also love you to connect with me so we talk web3 security:
TL;DR
Who is Samridh Saluja?
- I graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Computer Science
- Before starting Guardrail I was a Security Engineer at LinkedIn
- In my career to-date I've worked on over 250 incident responses
- Security is in my blood! Both my parents work in cyber security
💡 Why I started Guardrail:
- I identified a massive gap: crypto TVL has grown 100x since 2020, but security hasn't kept pace
- Single hacks now exceed entire 2020 crypto market cap
Why Guardrail exists:
- Traditional smart contract audits catch baseline issues but miss real-world, post-deployment threats
- Teams need continuous. real-time monitoring like they have for frontend/backend systems
- Current tools require massive in-house resources most teams can't afford
The problem:
- Every major hack in 2024 happened on audited code
- Attackers exploit the gap between audit completion and real-world deployment
- Security complexity increases as protocols expand across 25+ chains rapidly
Guardrail's approach:
- Real-time transaction monitoring with AI-powered anomaly detection
- Custom "guards" that check protocol-specific logic and invariants
- Automated response capabilities (alerts, pausing, fund protection)
- <1 second response times across 24+ blockchains
Industry evolution:
My prediction for 2025/26 is that we will shift from "security as afterthought" to "security documentation as standard" - similar to how Web2 evolved from HTTP to HTTPS and sandbox browsers.
The bottom line is this 👇
As crypto matures and scales, the industry needs infrastructure-level security solutions rather than one-off audits to prevent the headline-making exploits that undermine mainstream adoption.
