PeckShield

Monitoring and analytics providers, such as PeckShield, played a crucial role in CREAM's history by providing real-time intelligence on unusual asset movements, liquidity spikes, and potential exploits. Their alerts were utilized by both centralized and decentralized services to take swift actions: pausing contracts, blocking suspicious addresses on certain platforms, and informing the community about the incident's scale. The company's forensic reports helped trace fund withdrawals, identify routes used for mixing and exchanging, and provided a foundation for legal and crowdsourced efforts to recover assets. Furthermore, the provider's public reports on typical attack vectors and recommended risk mitigation methods stimulated CREAM and other protocols to review oracle configurations, liquidity limits, and monitoring response times. PeckShield's communication component—rapid publication of facts and hypotheses at the time of the incident—directly influenced panic dynamics, liquidity provider behavior, and the preparation of governance remediation proposals, especially during the first hours and days after the hack, when decisions were made based on limited information.
