Real-Time Security Monitoring for Yield Aggregators & Farming Protocols

Safeguard vaults, optimize yields, and prevent flash-loan hacks with Guardrail’s real-time, continuous security monitoring for yield aggregators and farming protocols.
Trusted by leading Web3 projects
Block flash-loan exploits before settlement
detect price manipulation cycles mid-transaction and stop vault drains.
Protect user deposits and yield
continuously validate vault share prices to prevent dilution attacks.
Maintain auto-compounding reliability
monitor automation hooks to prevent compound failures or stuck funds.
Audits Are Just the Beginning
Over 90% of hacks happen in audited protocols after deployment.
Static audits catch code bugs pre-launch, but can't defend against the live threats that emerge in production. Guardrail provides the continuous monitoring that protects your protocol 24/7 where real attacks happen.

Why monitoring?

Yield aggregators hold billions in user deposits, making them attractive targets for exploits. In 2025 alone, more than $650 million was stolen through flash-loan attacks, oracle manipulation, and vault-share inflation.
Flash-loan and price manipulation attacks
that exploit DEX or lending pool imbalances to drain vaults in minutes.
Vault share inflation and donation griefing
that skew share prices, diluting depositors and stealing yield.
Auto-compounding logic bugs
that lock funds or irreversibly disable vault operations.
Cross-protocol strategy risks
where dependencies on third-party pools cascade failures from depegs or oracle failures to vault TVL.

Real-time threat monitoring is now a baseline requirement for yield aggregators and farming protocols

Frequently asked questions

Need more information?
What is real-time security monitoring for yield aggregators?

Continuous on-chain analysis of vault transactions, strategy calls, and pool prices to spot exploits or anomalies before they impact user funds.

Why aren’t audits enough for auto-compounding protocols?

Audits capture code snapshots. Yield strategies change daily, integrate new pools, and rely on external oracles, creating fresh attack vectors that audits can’t anticipate.

How do yield aggregators generate returns for users?

They automatically move user deposits across lending pools, DEX farms, and liquidity strategies to maximize returns, compounding yield on a recurring basis.

What are cross-protocol risks in yield farming?

When vaults rely on multiple pools, an exploit in one protocol can spread to others, putting all vault deposits at risk.

Can Guardrail detect impermanent-loss manipulation?

Yes. The system tracks pool weight shifts and arbitrage-driven swaps that exceed historical variance, alerting teams before losses are realized.

What chains and strategies are supported?

Guardrail covers Ethereum plus 23 EVM and non-EVM networks, including Yearn-style vaults, Beefy-type optimizers, and custom strategy contracts.
