ON-CHAIN EMERGENCY RESPONSE INFRASTRUCTURE
WHEN TRUST
BREAKS.
EXECUTION STOPS.
Programmable emergency safeguards for on-chain protocols. Define protective policies, simulate incident responses, and make critical security actions auditable.
// LIVE SIMULATION SURFACE
DEADSWITCH CONTROL ROOM
// CONFIGURABLE POLICY LOGIC
CIRCUIT BREAKER LAB
Configure a hypothetical protocol. Every action below runs locally in your browser and has no connection to a live chain.
// RESPONSE PROTOCOL
FROM SIGNAL TO RESPONSE
Detection does not automatically mean an action is safe to execute. Emergency actions must satisfy their authorization and execution rules.
OBSERVE
Receive events from a supported monitoring source.
→DETECT
Evaluate observed events against defined thresholds.
→AUTHORIZE
Check that the proposed response meets policy.
→EXECUTE
Submit or simulate the permitted protective action.
→VERIFY
Record the result for inspection and review.
// DISTRIBUTED CONTROL
NO SINGLE KEY
SHOULD CONTROL
EVERY EMERGENCY.
A production system should use authenticated signatures and verifiable authorization checks. This local demonstration shows how a threshold approval policy behaves before any on-chain integration exists.
// AUDITABLE SIMULATION HISTORY
INCIDENT EXPLORER
SIMULATED RECORDS ONLY — locally stored records are not immutable or publicly verifiable.
// DEFENSE IN DEPTH
SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
POLICY ENGINE
Evaluates defined rules against available event data.
DETECTION LAYER
Consumes monitoring signals and identifies configured anomalies.
AUTHORIZATION LAYER
Checks approvers, permissions, and action constraints.
RESPONSE LAYER
Submits permitted protective operations through integrations.
AUDIT LAYER
Records decisions, authorization evidence, and outcomes.
// THREAT MODEL
EMERGENCY CONTROLS
CREATE THEIR OWN RISKS.
False triggers, malicious administrators, compromised approver keys, monitoring delays, oracle manipulation, incorrect thresholds, denial-of-service, and failed recovery all require explicit mitigations. Use least privilege, multi-party authorization, scoped timelocks, rate limits, independent monitoring, and publicly inspectable records. DEADSWITCH does not prevent all exploits or guarantee protocol safety.
