In 2022 alone, major protocols like Terra, Celsius, and FTX collapsed, causing seismic market impacts. These failures often take investors by surprise, subsurface cracks going unnoticed until the final breakage.</span>

Granular blockchain data can transform into an early warning and diagnostics system for Web3 protocols.</span>
