Blockchain security firm Blockaid announced the integration of its advanced Onchain Detection and Response (ODR) technology on the Stellar blockchain, starting with the Lobstr and Freighter wallet applications.&nbsp;
According to an Oct. 17 announcement viewed by Cointelegraph, the strategic partnership will bring real-time threat monitoring and rapid response capabilities to the wallets, with further integrations planned.&nbsp;

Blockaid describes its services as being somewhat like an antivirus software for Web3 decentralized applications.
Ido Ben Natan, CEO of Blockaid, told Cointelegraph that the first wave of enhancements “alerts users whenever they interact with a dangerous transaction, DApp, or token.” He added that “by flagging malicious interactions, we’re protecting millions of users from scams and hacks.”
According to the company’s announcement:
<blockquote>
 “Blockaid’s Web3 security technology, trusted by Coinbase, Stellar, and Metamask, has scanned over 4.5 billion transactions, prevented more than 100 million attacks, and defended against potential losses exceeding $4 billion.”
</blockquote>
In just the first half of 2024 alone, Blockaid inked deals with a number of blockchain firms in the industry including a <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-blockaid-security-75-million" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">Coinbase Wallet integration</a> in March, and partnerships <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/1inch-blockaid-partnership-defi-security" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">with 1inch</a> and <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/avalanche-core-wallet-blockaid-security-integration" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">Avalanche Core Wallet</a> in June.&nbsp;

<h2 id="stellar">Stellar</h2>
Stellar bills itself as a decentralized open-source blockchain platform for decentralized finance (DeFi), assets, and payments. Its primary token, XLM, has a market <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">capitalization</a> of $2.8 billion as of Oct. 16.&nbsp;
It’s purported to be faster and more efficient than more popular blockchain platforms such as Bitcoin thanks to its Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) algorithm, which handles consensus through a streamlined protocol.&nbsp;
As Cointelegraph reported in August, France-based fintech company Next Generation and Ireland-based electronic money institution (EMI) Decta announced a plan to reintroduce a euro-pegged stablecoin, EURT, <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/euro-stablecoins-rise-mica-stellar-launch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="null" text="null" title="null">on the Stellar blockchain</a>.
The launch of EURT signifies a period of perceived relief from regulatory uncertainty for cryptocurrency and blockchain firms operating in the European Union. By all accounts, the stablecoin market appears to be surging under the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/euro-stablecoins-rise-mica-stellar-launch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/euro-stablecoins-rise-mica-stellar-launch">Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation</a> and increasing legal clarity.&nbsp;
