CUBE3.AI Ongoing Product Release Notes

At CUBE3, we’re constantly upgrading, shipping iterative improvements and securing the platform. This post will be updated with the most recent CUBE3 product release notes.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes – Version 2.14.0

November 26, 2024

Inspector Update: XRP Support

Inspector now supports XRP, expanding its network coverage and enhancing its capabilities for risk assessment. This addition strengthens our ability to provide detailed insights across a broader range of blockchain networks. For the full list of supported networks and their respective support levels, visit our documentation.

Hops: A New Insight into Labels

We’ve introduced Hops to provide deeper context on how labels are applied to blockchain addresses.

Direct Labels (0 Hops): Applied directly to the inspected address.
Indirect Labels (1+ Hops): Inherited from the address’s counterparties, such as Source of Funds or Destination of Funds.

This feature enhances the clarity of risk assessments by distinguishing between directly flagged activities and those associated through connections.

Example API response:

{
"value": 98,
"subCategory": "exploit",
"subCategoryDescription": "This contract was identified as a potential exploit contract. The assigned risk score and category may be revised if the contract exploits another contract. Transaction history from such events will help accurately evaluate the threat and identify the specific capability.",
"hops": 0,
},

For more details, explore the documentation.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes 2.13

September 12, 2024

This release brings a new and more flexible alerts system, along with enhanced functionality for managing allow/block lists.

Alerts 2.0:
The new Alerts feature allows for multiple alert configurations, each with its own custom filters and multiple destinations, such as Slack or webhooks. Sonar alerts are now available—contact our team to get access and explore this feature.
Allow/Block List Management:
Users can now add and remove addresses on the allow/block lists directly via the UI. These lists are currently applicable for RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection) only.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes 2.12

September 10, 2024

This release brings significant updates to our data retention policy and scoring system, providing more flexibility and improved accuracy for users across all plans.

Data Retention Updates: We’re now retaining up to 10K Safe transactions for users on the free plan and 100K for those on the pro plan. Transactions exceeding these limits will be automatically deleted daily. Warning and Unsafe transactions are not affected by this policy. Additionally, custom limits can be assigned per tenant, including for Warning and Unsafe transactions, upon request.
Scoring Library Update: The highest score of ‘100’ is now exclusively reserved for addresses listed on various blocklists, including OFAC, stablecoin blocklists, and internal tenant blocklists. All other addresses will have a maximum score of 99.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes 2.11

September 5, 2024

In our biggest release this quarter, we’re introducing groundbreaking advancements in detecting crypto fraud, significantly expanding our fraud-related address database, and enhancing our address scoring methodology.

Detecting Web3 Fraud in Web2: We’ve implemented a revolutionary approach to crypto fraud attribution by scanning Web2 content such as forums, social media platforms, and groups. Leveraging LLMs and sentiment analysis, CUBE3.ai now identifies and extracts fraudulent addresses published on these platforms.
Enhanced Gradience for ‘Safe’ Smart Contracts: Risk scores for ‘Safe’ (1-30) smart contracts are now more nuanced, with both positive and malicious factors identified by our ML engine contributing to more precise and dynamic risk evaluations.
Progress Toward Web3 Deanonymization: We’ve made strides in identifying known entities behind addresses. By default, addresses linked to known entities are assigned a score of 20, unless other detections are present. Soon, we’ll be displaying the names of these entities within our product.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes 2.10

August 19, 2024

We made slight adjustments to our scoring logic, bringing more gradience for EOA (wallet) scores. These changes will be most visible on the lower end of Warning status (scores 31 – 69).

The new update will allow providing higher resolution data, richer responses and enabling better fine tuning of CCUBE3 integrations for our customers.

For more details, refer to the documentation: Inspector API Batch Requests.

Panorama: Transactions

Filter Presets: Finding relevant information is now easier. Users can save a combination of filters as reusable filter presets, allowing quick access to the most pertinent data with just a couple of clicks.
Clickable Token Names in Transactions View: Token names are now interactive, enabling users to see the exact address of a token, inspect it in Inspector, or open it in the blockchain explorer.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.6.0

June 27, 2024

Base and Optimism were added to the list of supported chains on Inspector and Monitor. Both chains are available as beta versions. Our team is closely monitoring their performance and making adjustments to ensure they meet the high standards of our platform. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

As we evaluate of the performance of the newly included chains we will continue to make improvements.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.5.0

June 20, 2024

Inspector: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Tron, and Solana Support

We are excited to announce that you can now use Inspector to assess the risk scores of individual addresses on Bitcoin, Litecoin, Tron, and Solana networks. This marks a significant milestone as we expand beyond EVM chains for the first time.

Initially, our capabilities on these networks will focus on EOAs (wallets), providing essential risk assessments by analyzing the source and destination of funds. While smart contracts on Tron and Solana are not yet supported, we are continuously working to enhance our coverage. Currently, these networks are exclusively available on Inspector and not on our other products, allowing you to assess the risk of individual addresses primarily within the Fraud and Compliance categories.

Inspector: Initiate Inspector with a Keyboard Shortcut

For those who inspect addresses daily, we’ve added a convenient time-saver: you can now initiate the Inspector with a simple keyboard shortcut (cmd + /). This feature aims to streamline your workflow and make address inspection even more efficient.

Transaction View: Enhanced Score Explanation for Monitored Transactions

We’ve introduced a new component in the Transaction View that clarifies the influence of our two layers of transaction evaluation on the final score. This enhancement is available for both Inspector and Monitor transactions and significantly improves the explainability of transaction scores.

The two models:

Transaction Risk Assessment Model: Evaluates the outcome of a transaction, assigning high scores when it results in actual financial or other types of damage.
Participant Risk Assessment Model: Calculates the individual risk score for each participant in a transaction. High risk levels for an address may result from factors identified by our machine learning models, involvement in malicious activities, sanctions, or the illicit source or destination of funds.

These improvements continue our mission to enhance the transparency and explainability of our risk assessment processes.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.4.0

June 11, 2024

This release introduces a major enhancement to the Inspector, designed to improve the explainability and transparency of our risk assessments.

Inspector: Address Type Identification

The Inspector now displays the type of inspected address, identifying it as either an Externally Owned Account (EOA/wallet) or a smart contract. This distinction is crucial for understanding risk assessments, as the same address can exhibit different behaviors and levels of risk depending on the chain and its type.

In some cases, an address may show strong signals of being malicious on one chain while being safe to interact with on another. Rarely, the same address may function as an EOA on one chain and a smart contract on another. Explicitly stating the type of particular address on a specific chain enhances the explainability of the different scores assigned to the same address across various chains.

This new data is also available via the v2 version of our API, with the documentation to be published shortly.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.3.0

This release introduces significant enhancements across our platform, designed to improve functionality, user experience, and the precision of our threat detection and monitoring services.

Inspector: Related Malicious Transactions

The Inspector now provides deeper insights into addresses involved in security incidents. When inspecting an address linked to an incident, you’ll see references to the specific transactions where the incident occurred, including both attacker and victim addresses. This feature enhances the explainability of the address’s risk score by highlighting the transactions that contributed to it.

Currently, this new component is available only on the Panorama dashboard (and not in API call responses).

Inspector: Per-Chain Scores

We’ve enhanced the Inspector’s scoring system to provide greater precision. Instead of a single combined score, you’ll now see individual scores for each supported blockchain. This allows for a more granular understanding of an address’s risk profile across different networks.

Panorama Dashboard: User Invites

Managing your team’s access to CUBE3.ai is now easier. You can invite new users directly through the Panorama dashboard’s Users section. While users with your company’s email domain can still access the platform without an invite for now, we’ll soon be transitioning to an invite-only system.

Monitor: Refreshed UI

We’ve given the Monitor a fresh new look to improve your experience. You can now easily see the status of each monitored address, and the controls for managing those addresses (enable/disable, delete) are more streamlined. A new search bar allows you to quickly find specific monitored addresses by either their name or address hash.

We hope these enhancements make your CUBE3 experience even better. We’re always working to improve, so your feedback is invaluable.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.1.0

Alerts

Improved alerts.
- Alerts are now not only formatted in a more human-readable format.
- New data available, such as: category, subcategory, monitored address names, tenant id.

CUBE3 Product Release Notes: 2.0.0

Major upgrades for Monitor, as well as net new product Sonar, were released to production.

Sonar 1.0

Sonar 1.0, a whole new product, exposes every malicious transaction we detected across all supported blockchains.

Filter results:
- Chain, threat status, type of malicious behavior, lost value, victim and attacker address, and date of incident.
Powered by both our ML models and heuristic engines, Sonar detects threats across Cyber, Fraud, and Compliance categories. Detecting many types of malicious behavior such as rugpulls, exploits, and many more.
Sonar detects incidents across 5 chains currently supported by CUBE3:
- Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Avalanche.

Monitor 3.0

Monitor is capable of detecting a particular type of attack against your Monitored addresses and sends you an alert immediately, enabling you to take appropriate and timely measures to reduce the amount of damage. You now can identify the type of attack, the attacker, the total amount of funds stolen and where exactly those funds went.

A major update to the Monitor product brings the transaction screening capabilities on the table.

The previous version of the Monitor was mostly based on evaluating the risk profiles of participating addresses (smart contracts and EOAs). The latest version, Monitor 3.0, perform the screening of the transaction itself.

Understanding the risk of the address interacting with you is a crucial security requirement for anyone operating their business on the blockchain. However, our brand-new transaction screening capabilities analyze the transaction itself, which means we can see the end result of any particular transaction.

By assessing both participants and the end results of each transaction, the Monitor product actively filters out low-value alerts and false positives, ensuring you only see high-efficacy notifications and stay focused on what matters.
