Sui removes 3,023 impersonation and phishing threats with ChainPatrol

Sui has removed 3,023 impersonation and phishing threats across a range of online platforms. The takedowns come through its partnership with ChainPatrol, a security firm that hunts down fake accounts and scam sites.

What Sui and ChainPatrol actually did

The effort sits under Sui’s $10 million Ecosystem Security Expansion Initiative. As part of that program, Sui brought in ChainPatrol to protect more than 30 projects building on the network.

Its monitoring covers the web, X, Discord and Telegram, as well as social media broadly, app stores and digital wallets.

As of mid-November 2025, ChainPatrol had blocked 842 unique threats tied to Sui-related projects and carried out takedowns across more than 11 platforms.

The latest tally of 3,023 threats is more than three times that mid-November figure.

How the detection works

ChainPatrol relies on AI and image recognition to spot fakes, flagging copycats that reuse a project’s branding even when the account name is slightly altered.

ChainPatrol also feeds what it finds into wallet blocking lists. If a user clicks a known phishing site, their wallet can warn them or refuse to connect.

How the numbers compare

ChainPatrol works with other Web3 organizations, and its results elsewhere offer a useful benchmark. For one partner, the firm has reported 3,129 blocked threats. Sui’s 3,023 lands in that same low-thousands range.

What this means for the Sui ecosystem

For projects building on Sui, the most direct benefit is cover. Smaller teams get professional threat monitoring they might not otherwise afford, paid for out of an ecosystem-wide fund.

The research on the initiative suggests it could bolster confidence in projects under the Sui umbrella and may help user adoption, though that remains a potential effect rather than a measured one.
