Beta — fifty design partner slots

The conversation
is the attack.

A behavioral analysis layer for your crypto messages. Cyphervex reads every Telegram, Discord, and X DM in real time and filters the scams — pig butchering, fake support, impersonation, deepfake setups — before they reach you.

001 — The thesis

AI moved the attack upstream.

The losses happen in Telegram DMs, Discord pings, X replies, and Calendly links — long before any transaction is signed. Blockaid sees the transaction. TRM sees the laundering. Chainalysis sees the cluster. We read the message that started it all.
