Hello from the TraceFast blog
Why we're starting a blog: exploit post-mortems, MEV research, and engineering notes from a real-time Ethereum analytics platform.
TraceFast is a real-time blockchain analytics and forensics platform for Ethereum. This blog is where we publish the work behind it:
- Exploit post-mortems — trace-level breakdowns of on-chain incidents, from the first malicious transaction to the final fund movement.
- MEV research — what we see in the mempool and on-chain, measured.
- Engineering notes — the infrastructure that keeps a real-time tracing pipeline alive, and what it costs to run it.
Everything here is built on the same tracing engine that powers TraceFast. When a post includes a trace, you can follow it yourself.
A small example of what trace output looks like:
CALL 0xdead…beef → Uniswap V3 Pool swap()
├─ STATICCALL oracle.latestAnswer()
└─ CALL 0xdead…beef → Vault withdraw() ← reentrancy window
