# How ChainPatrol Works

> End-to-end overview of how ChainPatrol detects, reviews, blocks, and takes down phishing threats across 50+ wallet, browser, and hosting integrations.

### Why ChainPatrol

ChainPatrol combines automated detection, AI‑assisted analysis, and human review to protect brands and users from phishing and abuse — across 50+ platforms — and pushes block decisions to the places your users actually are (wallets, browsers, DNS resolvers, hosting providers).

Fast path to protection: suspicious content is detected, analyzed, reviewed, and when confirmed as a threat, protection is deployed across all major platforms within seconds to minutes.

## 1) How threats enter the system

* **Human reports (web & Slack)**

  * Your team can submit suspicious URLs, addresses, and profiles through our web interface or directly from Slack
  * We verify submissions and provide instant feedback if content is already being monitored
  * Each submission becomes a report for our team to review

* **Automated detection (50+ platforms)**
  * We continuously scan major platforms (Google, YouTube, Twitter, app stores, Telegram, TikTok, and more) for threats targeting your brand
  * When we find suspicious content, we automatically create reports for review

## 2) Content processing

* We analyze and categorize all submitted content (URLs, addresses, social profiles, etc.) into our threat database
* We identify relationships between different pieces of content to build a complete picture of threats
* Duplicate submissions are automatically merged to avoid redundant work
* Invalid or inappropriate submissions are filtered out automatically

## 3) Report creation and tracking

* Each threat becomes a report that our team reviews and tracks through completion
* Reports include all relevant evidence (screenshots, metadata, related content)
* You can see the status of all reports in your dashboard (Pending → In Review → Completed)
* Reports are processed immediately, even for automatically detected threats

## 4) Threat analysis

* We gather additional information about each threat (website content, domain details, social media activity, etc.)
* Our AI analyzes the content to determine threat type (phishing, brand impersonation, etc.) and confidence level
* We set custom threat thresholds for your organization to match your risk tolerance
* We automatically discover and analyze related threats to build a complete threat picture

## 5) Block decisions

* When we confirm a threat, we immediately update our blocklist and begin the process of protecting your users
* This decision triggers automatic distribution to all our partner platforms and services

## 6) Protection distribution

Within minutes of detecting a malicious domain, ChainPatrol data is sent across integrations to send warnings to end users

* **Blocklist Integrations**
  * Once a domain is identified as malicious, it goes on the ChainPatrol block list.
  * These domains are blocked across 20+ wallets, browsers, and security platforms in minutes, including MetaMask and Phantom.
  * We also blocklist domains across Google Safe Browsing, reaching Chrome and other browsers.
  * DNS providers like Quad9 and others increase the reach of our network
  * Any user visiting the malicious link is shown a warning.

* **Blocklist Speed**
  * Wallets and many other integration partners blocklist domains within minutes
  * Google Safe Browsing takes a 1-2 hours to show warnings from initial flagging

* **Public Blocklist API**
  * We maintain a public list of blocked threats that any service can use, our goal is to work with security partners to protect every user

## 7) Protection verification

* We continuously monitor that our blocks are active across all partner platforms
* You can see exactly where your threats are being blocked and how quickly protection was deployed
* This gives you confidence that your users are protected everywhere they go

## 8) Automated takedowns

* We automatically request takedowns from hosting providers, domain registrars, and social platforms
* We work with major providers including Cloudflare, Vercel, GoDaddy, Squarespace, Firebase, and many others
* For social platforms like Telegram and Twitter, we combine human analysts and automated reporting systems
* We track takedown progress and avoid duplicate requests

## 9) Metrics and Executive reporting

* We generate clear, executive-ready reports showing threats detected and actions taken
* Reports use plain language suitable for sharing with stakeholders and management
* You can customize reporting frequency and content to match your needs

## 10) 24/7 infrastructure

* Our systems run continuously with automatic failover and redundancy
* We use rate limiting and security measures to protect against abuse
* All actions are logged and auditable for compliance and transparency
* We maintain strict security standards for all data and operations
