Here’s a roundup of the most relevant product updates the ChainPatrol team rolled out in January. From real-time webhooks and seamless API integrations to smarter detection and an automated Medium takedown system, these updates are all about improving accuracy, efficiency, and user experience. 

Webhooks for Real-Time Blocklist Updates

You can now set up webhooks to get notified the moment ChainPatrol updates its global blocklist. This means you’ll have access to the latest scam data within seconds—perfect for keeping your integrations up to date in real-time. To start using webhooks, head to the Webhooks section in your ChainPatrol dashboard settings.

API Keys for Seamless Integrations

You can now programmatically interact with ChainPatrol through our integrations using API Keys. These keys let us verify and identify your requests, unlocking more features and deeper integration with the ChainPatrol app. To get started, generate your API Key in the API Keys section of your ChainPatrol dashboard settings.

Smarter Detection & Fewer False Positives

We've improved ChainPatrol's detection flow to reduce false positives and make enforcement more accurate. Now, enforcement won’t apply to social media assets if the organization has none, legitimacy checks help verify popular YouTube channels and videos, and our browser extension has enhanced scanning capabilities. These updates mean fewer interruptions for legitimate users while maintaining strong protection.

Enhanced Medium Threat Detection & Automated Takedowns

ChainPatrol now features a two-part automated system for removing scam content on Medium. When fraudulent content is blocked, an immediate UI report is generated, and every three hours, a batch email takedown request is sent—reducing manual effort while keeping scam removal efficient. 

The system handles both methods without manual intervention, but manual triggers remain available for urgent cases. This automated system streamlines enforcement, minimizes false positives, and ensures ChainPatrol’s brand protection is more comprehensive than ever.

Public ChainPatrol Status Page

We’ve launched a public status page to keep you informed about the health of our services, including our Dashboard, APIs, and Website. If there’s an outage or disruption, you can check for real-time updates from our team.

The status page helps you quickly determine whether an issue is affecting only you or if it’s a broader outage. API integrators can use it to check for service disruptions when they spot errors in their logs. Plus, it keeps you informed about scheduled maintenance, outages, and performance issues—all in one place.

You can visit the status page anytime you experience issues with the app or API. We’ll post real-time updates, and if you need urgent support, you can use the Get in Touch button to contact our team immediately. View the Status Page, here.

We’ve rolled out the Page Clone Rule, which enables us to detect indicators suggesting a webpage was generated using a page cloning tool.

Phishing pages are often created by cloning legitimate website landing pages and embedding a wallet drainer script. During this process, these page cloning tools leave behind specific indicators that give our system high confidence in identifying potentially malicious pages.

With our new page cloning detection rule, we’ve updated our system to provide an automated review process, resulting in faster detection and blocking of such websites.

We’re enabling organizations to log in to ChainPatrol using their existing corporate identity provider, such as Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin, and others, with single sign-on (SSO).

The introduction of SSO offers two major benefits:

• It allows enterprise customers to enforce additional requirements and security rules within their identity provider of choice.

• It provides more authentication options for ChainPatrol and simplifies the onboarding process for new users.

Please, reach out to us if you’d like to set up SSO for your organization.

We've extended the reach of our detection by introducing four new sources: 

• Bing

• Yahoo

• DuckDuckGo

• Guestbooks

By tapping into these new detection sources, we’ve enhanced protection across various search engines and hidden guestbook websites, where scammers often post their content. It enables us to improve both the quality and speed of detection for all organizations that are being monitored by ChainPatrol.

We’ve implemented an important update that involves periodically running checks on specific URL assets and extending our liveness checks with deeper analysis. This allows us to extract more information and make higher-quality decisions.

With this implementation, we are now conducting a more thorough and repetitive analysis of URLs that increases the quality of protection while reducing the chance of false positives. This also results in an increased frequency of asset updates, enabling our staff and automation to decide on the appropriate actions for certain assets.

We’ve introduced a new feature of the ChainPatrol Telegram Bot that allows users to flag malicious links in chat groups. Additionally, the reporting function now provides detailed information for links already in our system. If a link has already been blocked, the bot will display the current takedown progress to the user.

This new feature enhances the transparency and integration of ChainPatrol with Telegram, making it possible for the bot to include a community-facing feature. Additionally, users are kept informed about the progress of the takedown.

Note: You can check if your group settings are set up properly right here.

ChainPatrol’s Twitter Detection feature now monitors quoted tweets and retweets, to gather intel about more sophisticated scams. This provides increased quality of detection for replies under organization tweets, leading to more thorough protection for customers. It also enables a deeper analysis of Twitter profiles, allowing ChainPatrol to catch more impersonation attempts.

Wallet drainers are the primary way that users are losing funds through scams that leverage the trust those users have with Web3 brands. In an effort to reduce the frequency of this scam, we've shipped two new wallet drainer kit rules that now detect the use of common scripts for stealing funds from users.

Our automated reviewing system treats these new rules as high confidence signals for malicious activity and automatically blocks these sites as soon as they are detected. We continue to track new drainer kits and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) of these sites, and we will update our detection rules accordingly.
