Chainalysis Hexagate and Algebra Integral Launch Safety Switch Plugin for DEX Security
Chainalysis Hexagate and Algebra Integral Launch Safety Switch Plugin for DEX Security
🛡️ DEX Emergency Brake
Chainalysis Hexagate and Algebra Integral have launched the Safety Switch plugin - a modular security framework that allows DEXes to pause specific liquidity pools during potential attacks.
Key Features:
- Real-time threat detection through Hexagate monitoring
- Selective pool pausing without affecting user fund withdrawals
- Role-based access: Guards can pause pools, Admins can resume operations
- Low gas overhead: Only ~14k additional gas per transaction
How it works: 1. Hexagate detects suspicious activity 2. Automatically pauses affected pools via Safety Switch 3. DEX teams investigate and reactivate when safe
Pool Status Options:
- ENABLED: Normal operations
- DISABLED: All operations stopped
- BURN_ONLY: Only liquidity withdrawals allowed
The plugin operates through Integral's modular architecture using hook points to intercept transactions. It provides separation of powers where security vendors act as watchers while DEX teams retain ultimate control.
Benefits:
- Proactive threat response before exploits occur
- Maintains decentralization while adding security
- Users can always withdraw funds during pauses
- Available to all DEXes using Algebra Integral without redeployment
This represents a significant advancement in DeFi security, moving from reactive post-exploit responses to proactive threat prevention.

Algebra Launches Safety Switch Plugin for Real-Time DEX Security
Following the recent **Balancer exploit**, Algebra emphasizes that DeFi security requires more than audited code - it needs real-time threat detection. Algebra has completed multiple security audits with top firms including: - Bail Security - Paladin Security - MixBytes - ABDK Consulting - Riley Holterhus **Safety Switch Plugin Features:** - Live security monitoring for all Integral-powered DEXes - Instant pool pausing capabilities when threats detected - Real-time threat detection and response - LP protection without requiring migrations **Key Integrations:** - Hypernative Labs for monitoring - Chainalysis for compliance - Hexagate for additional security layers The modular CLAMM (Concentrated Liquidity AMM) approach allows DEXes to add security features as plugins rather than rebuilding from scratch. This proactive security model represents a shift from reactive patching to **preventive protection** in DeFi protocols.
