7Block Labs’ Security Assessments for Enterprise Blockchain Networks
a specific technical headache your enterprise team recognizes
So, Ethereum Dencun just launched EIP-4844, which introduces these “blob” transactions. What’s cool about this is that your data will hang around for about 18 days (that’s 4096 epochs) before it gets cleaned up at the consensus layer. Pretty neat, right? This is great for keeping L2 fees low, but it definitely throws a wrench in the usual ways we think about things like data retention, audit trails, and how we handle forensic investigations after something goes wrong. Don't forget to adjust your monitoring and archiving strategies to keep everything running smoothly! (ethereum.org).
With Account Abstraction (ERC-4337), the risks have now been passed on to bundlers, paymasters, and that single EntryPoint. If your UserOperations aren’t being simulated the right way or if the validation process gets a bit chaotic, you might end up dealing with some serious issues like operational downtime or even fraud risks. Just a quick reminder: make sure your AA integration is all set up to follow the ERC-7562 rules. Don't forget about staking, and definitely take advantage of those reputation gateways! (docs.erc4337.io).
ZK adoption is definitely gaining traction, but just keep in mind that there are some challenges. Under-constrained circuits and pipeline bugs can really throw a wrench in things, so it’s something to watch out for! Recent studies reveal that fuzzing frameworks are really good at uncovering errors in Circom/Halo2 circuits that we might have missed before. It seems they can do this on a pretty large scale, which is pretty impressive! (arxiv.org).
- Hyperledger Fabric 2. So, version 5 came out with this feature called PurgePrivateData, and it's a pretty big deal when it comes to making sure we stick to the GDPR and CPRA "right-to-erasure" rules. Here's the thing, though: a lot of networks still haven't gotten around to updating their chaincode, endorsement policies, or operational playbooks to make the most of this feature safely. (hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io).
Key management is really changing these days, and it’s up to security architects to find that sweet spot between using FIPS 140-3 validated HSMs and production-grade MPC. You know, stuff like threshold ECDSA or EdDSA for things like hot path signing and disaster recovery. It can be a tricky balance to strike! Make sure you have controls that align with NIST SP 800-57 to ensure everything stays secure! (csrc.nist.gov).
Hey there! Just a heads-up--things are heating up in the world of procurement. We've got those deadlines for the ISO 27001:2022 transitions looming on the horizon (October 31, 2025, to be exact) and don’t forget about NIST CSF 2. It’s definitely a busy time! So, it looks like 0 has introduced this new thing called "Govern," and now SOC 2 Type II is all about those continuous control operations. This has a big impact on blockchain workloads and how we bring vendors on board. (protiviti.com).
What’s at Risk If You Don’t Tackle It Now
- Don't Miss the ISO 27001 Transition: Just a heads up--if your organization hasn’t transitioned to ISO 27001:2022 by October 31, 2025, those old certificates from 2013 will be toast. So, make sure to stay on top of it! So, that just leads to some holdups when it comes to buying stuff, renewing contracts, and bringing new partners into the mix. On top of that, with Annex A's updates rolling out--93 controls in total across four themes, including 11 brand new ones--you’ll definitely want to take a fresh look at how you're mapping your controls for things like blockchain runtime, logs, and key custody. It's a bit of a shift that could make a big difference! If you're interested in diving deeper, you can find more info right here.
- Heightened Focus on Governance: Governance is really coming into the limelight now, all thanks to the NIST CSF 2. 0 really highlights “Govern” as one of its main features. It really ties cybersecurity into the bigger picture of enterprise risk management and makes sure that it gets the attention it deserves at the board level. If your cross-chain, account abstraction, or zero-knowledge controls aren’t up to par, it could really mess things up for your risk committees and vendor risk assessments. Find the details here.
- Real Money on the Line: In 2025, crypto thefts reached a record high, totaling somewhere around $2 billion. 7B and $3. 4B--don’t forget the $1. So, there’s this situation with Bybit that’s making headlines--it’s linked to the DPRK and involves a whopping $5 billion. Boards and insurance companies are definitely going to take a good look at your practices and stack them up against the best in the industry right now. If you're curious to dive deeper into the topic, you can check it out here. There's a lot more interesting info waiting for you!
- Modern Attack Paths Are Very Much a Reality: The problem of read-only reentrancy is still something we need to worry about. These attacks dodge the classic defenses by playing around with oracle reads during callbacks. It's definitely not just theoretical anymore! There are actually some documented cases and research that support this. Also, when you start mixing things up with cross-project combos like DEX, lending, and L2 bridges, the risk really skyrockets. It's wild how much can go wrong! Hey, if you're looking for more info, definitely take a look at this link here. It's got some pretty interesting insights!
- Things Got Trickier After Dencun: It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. On one hand, L2 fees have dropped significantly--like, from 50% to 98% down, which is great! But on the flip side, we’re noticing more rollup failures and some sneaky bot activity creeping in. It’s definitely a mixed bag right now! It's encouraging teams to step up their game when it comes to simulations, rate limits, and observability. After all, the last thing you want is a user experience that might scare away potential customers and land you in hot water with SLA penalties. If you’re interested in learning more about this, check it out here. It's got all the details you need!
7Block Labs’ Technical but Pragmatic Assessment Methodology
At 7Block Labs, we blend our solid understanding of Solidity, zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), and permissioned ledgers with the compliance tools that procurement teams actually find useful. We've crafted our deliverables to tick all the boxes you need, including SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, and NIST CSF 2. You're all set with your SLAs--just make sure you keep an eye on the details!
1) Strategy, Governance, and Control Mapping (Weeks 0-2)
- Rapid Control Baseline: Alright, let’s start by taking a good look at your current blockchain setup. Are you working with something like EVM L1 or L2, or maybe Fabric, Besu, or Quorum? Oh, and don't forget about any bridges you might be using! We’ll break this down according to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A and the NIST CSF 2. You’re all set with the training on SOC 0 and the SOC 2 TSC, specifically the CC series. So what do you get out of this? A handy “Control Coverage Matrix” and a prioritized list of gaps that really zeroes in on ROI and audit impact. Take a look at this: (cloudsecurityalliance.org). It's pretty interesting!
- Get Your Docs Ready: Alright, the next thing on our list is to pull together some key documents.
So, we've got some entries in the risk register that touch on a few important topics like blob retention, paymaster misuse, constraints in ZK circuits, and cross-chain flows. Also, we'll break down what RPO and RTO mean and work on some disaster recovery patterns that specifically tackle issues like blob expiry, which is around 18 days. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, check out the details over here: ethereum.org. It's worth a look! - Check the SDLC: Alright, let’s wrap things up by ensuring your pipeline is in sync with the NIST SSDF 1 guidelines. Just a heads up, make sure to mark your calendar for the December 17, 2025 revision! 1 draft for future-proofing). We’re excited to share that we’re incorporating SBOM procedures along with SLSA build integrity goals specifically designed for smart contracts, chaincode, and ZK circuits. If you’d like to dig deeper, you can check out more details right here: csrc.nist.gov.
2) EVM/AA Security and Performance Assessment (Weeks 2-6)
- Static and Differential Analysis: We’re going to explore tools like Slither to help us check for detector passes and create some customized rules. It should be pretty interesting! We're also utilizing Echidna for property-based fuzzing, and we've got Foundry set up to handle invariant tests on ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens. Plus, we're running our own custom settlement accounting and oracle windows to keep everything in check. We're especially interested in keeping tabs on "read-only reentrancy" and making sure that state synchronization across different protocols stays on point. Check out Slither here.
- Compiler and Language Hardening: Just a heads up, make sure you're using Solidity version 0.
8.
You'll need version 27 or later to keep getting support for require(custom error).
Checking out the hotfix guidance from version 0 is definitely a smart move!
8.
33.
Let's avoid getting caught up in those outdated storage habits that can be pretty unreliable.
We're going to whip up a memo that outlines the "Allowed Versions/Flags" to make things easier for procurement.
If you're looking for more details, you can check it out here.
- Account Abstraction Threat Model: Let's dive into some important stuff here, like EntryPoint invariants, the limits we hit with ERC-7562 simulations, and other key factors such as staked paymasters and how the reputation of bundlers plays a role in all this. We should definitely keep bundle determinism and miner ordering assumptions on our radar, especially since they’ve popped up in some important audit findings lately. It's something we can't afford to overlook! In the end, we’re going to have a solid AA security policy along with some handy operational runbooks. Learn more here.
- “Money Phrase”: What we’re really aiming for is to find some solid savings when it comes to “gas-to-execution” by tweaking optimizer flags and making a few design changes. We'll turn those savings into real ROI for your profit and loss statement. For example, we could cut down on L2 posting costs by focusing on smart ways to pack and batch our blob-friendly calldata.
3) ZK Circuit and Pipeline Review (Weeks 3-7)
We're going to dig into some circuit audits to spot any errors related to under or over-constraints. We'll be using specialized fuzzers like zkFuzz and Circuzz to help us out. We're also taking a look at the boundary conditions and making sure that the witness traces line up properly. During our review, we’ll dive into plookup and domain separation, take a look at soundness assumptions, and chat about transcript binding. If you're curious to dive deeper into the topic, check it out here. It's a great read!
So, let’s dive into what the KZG and Danksharding really mean. We’ll take a closer look at the threat model surrounding the blob availability window. You’re all set with info up to October 2023! This covers the KZG commitment verification, especially the point evaluation precompile, along with the trust assumptions tied to the ceremony. Just to give you a heads-up, we’re looking at a 1-of-N honesty assumption backed by more than 140,000 contributions. Pretty impressive, right? Alright, let's finish things off by going over the “Blob Evidence Retention” SOP. If you're looking for more info, take a look at this link to EIP-4844: EIP-4844. It's got all the details you might need!
4) Permissioned Ledger Hardening (Hyperledger Fabric/Besu/Quorum) (Weeks 2-6)
- **Fabric 2.
Alright, let's dive into the private data lifecycle! First things first, we need to get
PurgePrivateData()up and running. After that, we'll set up the V2_5 capability and tweak the chaincode logic a bit. Don’t forget to update the endorsements to make sure we’re enforcingmemberOnly*wherever it’s needed. Let’s get to it! Hey, just a quick reminder--don’t forget to add a little “salt” to your predictable private data. It really helps protect against those pesky brute-force hash attacks! If you want to dive deeper into the details, you can check it out here. - Besu/Quorum Privacy Groups (Tessera/Orion Mode): Just a friendly reminder to take a moment to verify the setup of the node/key manager. Also, don't forget to ensure we're using SHA‑512/256 hashing for those payload identifiers. It's always good to be thorough!
Don't forget to keep an eye on the
senderKeyandprivacyGroupIdcontrols, too. When we wrap this up, we'll have a handy “Privacy Pattern Catalog” ready to go. This will be tailored to specific situations, like audits, regulatory reads, and bilateral trades. If you want to dig deeper and find more details, just check it out here. It's got all the info you need!
5) Cross‑chain/interop security (weeks 4-8)
- Bridge model assessment: We're really digging into the details of trust assumptions here. So, basically, we’re going to look into stuff like multisig compared to external validators, light-client setups versus zk ones, and also dig into slashing and withdrawal rules. Oh, and we definitely need to take a look at the replay protections on the L2s and those permissioned networks too!
- Enterprise DLT-to-DLT validation: Let’s dive into how Hyperledger Cacti workflows really work and what those new SATP profiles are all about (you know, the ones connected to IETF). It should be an interesting exploration! So, what’s our ultimate goal? We’re looking to create a “Cross-Network Transaction Assurance Pack.” This will have a relay design and some solid proof for transferring assets. Take a look at this link: hyperledger-cacti.github.io. It’s definitely worth checking out!
6) Key Management and Custody Blueprint (Weeks 1-4 in Parallel)
- Architect Hybrid Custody: How about we create a system that uses FIPS 140-3 validated modules as our reliable trust anchors? Sounds like a solid plan, right? We're thinking about using MPC for threshold signing, and we want to make sure we have a good mix of geographic and enclave diversity. On top of that, we’re going to throw in some key-share refresh procedures that follow the guidelines laid out in NIST SP 800‑57. Hey, just a quick reminder to make sure you jot down those signing quorum policies, recovery plans, and our break-glass procedures. It’s super important to have everything documented! If you want to dive deeper into the details, you can find more info here.
- Evidence for Auditors: Let’s make sure to add some references to the latest MPC (Multiparty Computation) deployments. It’d be great to see how these newer setups compare when it comes to UC-security for threshold ECDSA and EdDSA. This is going to be a game-changer for our SOC 2 narratives! If you’re looking for some handy insights, check this out here. I think you’ll find it pretty helpful!
7) DevSecOps Supply-Chain Controls (Continuous)
Hey, just a quick reminder to grab those SBOMs for your smart contracts, chaincode, and ZK circuits. You don’t want to miss out on those! Make sure you’re hitting those SLSA level targets in your CI/CD process! Hey, just a quick reminder: make sure to include those SSDF control IDs directly in your pipeline tasks. Also, don’t skip out on using artifact signing for your on-chain references. It’ll make everything a lot smoother! So, this is what auditors and procurement teams are really looking for these days. To learn more about it, just head over to openssf.org. There’s a bunch of helpful info waiting for you there!
8) Runtime Monitoring, Retention, and Forensics
- Blob-aware logs: So, these logs are set up to monitor all kinds of stuff like commitments, proofs, and retrieving data from the beacon node, all within roughly an 18-day timeframe. We also make sure to save important blobs, which are like proof-packed summaries. This way, we can keep their evidence value safe while still allowing the protocol to trim down as needed. Check it out here.
- Keeping an Eye on the AA Mempool: We’re really getting into the nitty-gritty of userOp failures. We’re checking out why paymaster reverts are happening and putting some alerts in place to track those pesky bot-driven failure rates.
We're all about making sure our user experience stays top-notch as we dive into our activities after Dencun. If you're looking for more details, check out galaxy.com. They’ve got some great insights waiting for you!
the GTM metrics and business outcomes you can plan against
External proof points (market baselines)
EIP-4844 has definitely made waves by significantly cutting down the costs for posting on Layer 2. According to some independent data sources, it looks like fees have dropped by anywhere from 50% to an impressive 98% just a few days after Dencun was introduced. How crazy is that? In just a few months, Galaxy's research uncovered some pretty interesting stats. They found that the median cost per transaction for rollups took a nosedive, dropping anywhere from 58% to 94%. At the same time, rollup margins soared, jumping up from around 22%. Quite a shift, right? That's quite a jump, going from just 7% all the way up to an impressive 92%! 3% for optimistic rollups. This is a game changer for your unit economics! Check out this article from thedefiant.io for all the details.
Alright, let’s dive into the threat landscape a bit. So, by 2025, we saw thefts reaching some pretty crazy levels. According to a bunch of different sources, the reported amount was around $2. 7 billion and $3. Wow, they took a whopping 4 billion, and that includes an eye-popping $1! That's a whopping 5 billion lost all because of just one service breach! These days, it’s pretty common for boards to be under the microscope. (techcrunch.com).
Hey, just a heads up--compliance is really becoming a big deal for everyone right now. The deadline for switching over to ISO 27001:2022 is coming up fast on October 31, 2025! These days, having CSF 2. Good governance is super important if you're in need of some solid executive oversight. And when it comes to SOC 2 Type II, it’s really focused on demonstrating that things are running smoothly over time, not just giving you a quick glance at one moment. (protiviti.com).
Recommended KPIs for a 90-Day Enterprise Engagement
We’ve put together a list of key performance indicators (KPIs) that we believe are super important for a successful 90-day engagement in your business.
- Time to Control Coverage: Try to get at least 90% of the controls in line with the SOC 2 CC series and ISO 27001 Annex A covered for your blockchain projects within the first month. This is really great for tackling those procurement questionnaires and prepping for audits. It's such a lifesaver!
- Fixing vulnerabilities: Aim to tackle over 80% of those high and critical issues (you know, like Solidity, chaincode, and infrastructure stuff) in just two sprints. Let's get it done! Just be sure you've got some solid proof of this in your Git history and your CI gates, like those SSDF tasks.
- AA reliability: Aim to keep those pesky userOp failures caused by validation mis-simulations under 1% across all your production bundles. You’ll want to do this after you’ve gone through the ERC-7562 conformance checks and reputation rules.
- Blob Evidence SLAs: We're aiming for a complete 100% capture of all blob commitments and the supporting proof linked to important business transactions while the availability window is open. The aim is to ensure we don’t miss any retrievals during the pilot period--zero missed ones! Let's make it happen!
- “Money phrase”: This is where we break down the OPEX differences. Let’s link your L2 postings and proving costs to your business KPIs. So, with the post-Dencun fee profiles, we're going to sync up our batch cadence and pack the calldata in a way that should give us at least a 30% increase in "blob efficiency" compared to what we started with. Sounds good, right? If you want to dive deeper into this, head over to galaxy.com for more info!
Privacy‑regulated supply chain on Fabric
- Issue: Your team is handling personally identifiable information (PII) while going through the dispute processes. The old way of just “deleting from state” was still leaving some traces behind on our peers, and that’s not really what we want, you know?
- What to do: To handle this, go ahead and upgrade to Fabric 2.
Alright, so for version 5 LTS, go ahead and update the Application capability to V2_5. After that, you’ll need to refactor the chaincode too.
Don't forget to run
PurgePrivateData()for any personal info keys, and be sure to set up those implicit collections for each organization when it comes to regulator attestations. It's super important! Hey, just a quick reminder to sprinkle in some salting for those values that tend to be a bit too predictable. And don’t forget to setmemberOnlyRead/Writefor your collections. It’ll really help keep things secure! - Outcome: This method really helps us get on the same page with ISO 27001 A.
8. So, there's this cool thing called 10 that really zeroes in on deleting information, and it does a great job of generating some neat, audit-friendly hashes directly on the blockchain. If you're curious and want to dive deeper, you can find more info here. It's definitely worth a look!
Enterprise AA Wallet Program with SOC2-Ready Guardrails
Problem
The product team is really pumped about rolling out passkeys and making use of sponsored gas (paymasters). So, procurement has brought up some worries about the risks tied to bundlers and the chance of shared state DoS attacks.
Action
Alright, to really get a handle on these challenges, here’s what we’re going to do:
Make sure to stick to the ERC-7562 validation rules and keep the EntryPoint bundles consistent and predictable.
- Make sure to stake with a paymaster and stay aware of the local reputation.
- Split up the “session-key” scopes to boost security. Hey there! So, we need to put together some SOC 2 narratives for CC6, which is all about logical access, and CC7, focused on change management. We should make sure these narratives really highlight our AA infrastructure. Let’s dive in and get this done!
Outcome
By taking these steps, we’ll cut down on the chances of fraud and DoS attacks. Plus, we’ll be giving auditors all the materials they need to check that we’re compliant. If you want to dig deeper into this topic, you can check out more details here.
ZK Attestations for Partner Onboarding
Problem: You're facing the tricky task of issuing confidential compliance attestations on the blockchain. So, there was a bit of a hiccup with Circom. It turns out there was a slight under-constraint that let some invalid witnesses sneak by during testing. Not ideal, but it happens sometimes!
- What We're Doing: To address this issue, we’ve decided to implement zkFuzz-class fuzzing and pipeline fuzzers (Circuzz) into our continuous integration process. We’ve set up a handy checklist to help us manage deployments. It covers things like “circuit SBOM,” making sure we pin down the system version, and keeping track of transcript binding. Oh, and just a heads-up -- we’re keeping KZG commitment and proof data archived for 18 days. This way, if any disputes come up, we can easily review everything.
- Outcome: The great news is that we’ve noticed some real improvements in both accuracy and how we back up our claims, all while keeping our release process running smoothly and on schedule. For all the juicy details, just click here. You won’t want to miss it!
How We Package This for Procurement, Audit, and the Business
- "Assessment to Action" workbook: This is our go-to spot for tracking vulnerabilities. We make sure to assign an owner and set a service level agreement (SLA) for each item, so everyone knows who's responsible and when things need to be done. We've also put together a detailed remediation plan that breaks down the costs and maps out our return on investment. This covers everything from gas and posting to tackling SRE toil, and we're making sure we're prepared for any audits that come our way.
- Control Coverage Matrix: In this section, we’ll take a look at how ISO 27001:2022/Annex A, SOC 2 TSC, and NIST CSF 2 all connect with one another. Sure thing! Here’s a more casual take on that:
Just dive right into the specific checks and tests that you've got set up in your repositories and infrastructure. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, feel free to take a look at more details here.
- SBOM + SLSA Evidence Bundle: This bundle is packed with individual SBOMs for each artifact, along with provenance attestations and CI jobs that connect to the SSDF. It's designed to show that everything runs smoothly over time, making it super helpful for those Type II audits! If you’re curious and want to learn more, check out this link. It’s got some great info!
- Incident runbooks: These are your go-to guides for a few important tasks. They outline how to manage blob data retention and retrieval, give you the scoop on dealing with AA mempool failures, and walk you through the process of cross-chain replay and rollback.
Technical specs we validate (selected)
- EVM/AA
- Solidity ≥0.
8. You can go with 27, or if you want, feel free to increase it to at least zero. 8. Hey, just a quick heads-up! If you’ve made some changes to your storage-edge logic recently, remember to use require(bool, error) for those specific revert actions. It's also a good idea to leverage Foundry invariants, stick with bin-compatible proxy patterns, and clearly label any state-mutation functions as nonReentrant. Oh, and definitely avoid using unchecked delegatecalls to any untrusted implementations. It’s better to play it safe! (soliditylang.org).
- ZK Hey, just a quick reminder to stay on top of those constraint audits--both for under and over-binding. It’s super important! Also, don’t overlook the transcript separation and the soundness assumptions we got from Fiat-Shamir. You’ll want to keep your circuit SBOM in check, along with the proving key lifecycle. Don’t forget to run some fuzzed witness traces too, just to cover all bases. And if you’re planning on rolling up with blobs, be sure to link everything up with blob-evidence archival. You've got this! (arxiv.org).
- Fabric/Besu/Quorum
Hey there! Just a quick reminder to use Fabric's
PurgePrivateData()when you get the chance. Also, keep an eye out for any implicit organization collections while you're at it. Don't forget to set up endorsement policies for each collection too. And, make sure you're aware of the CouchDB JSON query constraints--those can trip you up if you're not careful. Oh, and let's not overlook the Besu/Tessera privacy group policies along with the SHA‑512/256 payload hashing! It might seem like a lot, but you’ve got this! (hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io). - Key management Take a moment to go over your FIPS 140-3 module inventory. It's also a good idea to review your MPC threshold design--things like quorum, refresh cadence, and enclave diversity. And don’t forget to keep your NIST SP 800-57 key lifecycle docs up to date. Oh, and make sure you’re regularly running those recovery drills, too! (csrc.nist.gov).
- Supply chain
- Don’t forget to include SSDF 1! When it comes to CI tasks, you’ll want to focus on things like threat modeling, code reviews, fuzz testing, and signing your code. It's also a good idea to aim for SLSA provenance for your build artifacts. Don’t forget to set up clear policies for capturing and sharing your SBOM--it's all about keeping everything secure and organized! (csrc.nist.gov).

Why This Matters to the Business
- Lower unit costs and better margins: The L2 economics after Dencun are really something! Every engineering decision we make--whether it’s batching, packing calldata, or picking the right rollup--plays a huge role in shaping our gross margins. Plus, these choices give us a bit more wiggle room when it comes to our Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If you want to dive deeper into this topic, make sure to check out this Galaxy article. It’s got some great insights!
- Speedier vendor onboarding: With the help of the ISO 27001:2022 standards and the evidence we've aligned with SOC 2, we're able to breeze through those long security questionnaires and skip the endless legal discussions. This is seriously a game changer when it comes to boosting our time to revenue! If you want to dive deeper into the details, check out this Protiviti paper. You won't regret it!
- Reliable governance: Thanks to CSF 2. When we really nail down our “Govern” alignment and keep our risk registers in check, getting that executive sign-off becomes much easier. Plus, it leads to more reliable audit results every time. If you’re interested in exploring more, check out this update from NIST. It’s got some pretty cool info!
- Less chance of incidents and smaller blast radius: Our AA/ZK/Fabric privacy guardrails are built with today’s exploit techniques in mind. We’re talking about things like read-only reentrancy, paymaster abuse, and under-constraint circuits--so we’re not just addressing the same old problems from ten years ago. We've really tailored our approach to keep pace with the evolving landscape. If you’re wondering about the details, you can dive deeper into it over at Certik. It’s got all the insights you’re looking for!
