During the course of our work at Confiant, we see malicious activity on a daily basis. What matters the most for us is the ability to:

That itself gives us great visibility on malicious activity infiltrating the ad stack and the broader Internet, powered by our proprietary uncloaking technology. And that includes all the web3 malicious activity funneling thru it.
