The SafeToken Protocol emerged as a key growth engine during the period. Total value locked in the SafeToken Locker increased 21.6% to $40.2M in H2, reaching an all-time high of $66M in October. Growth was supported by the introduction of more flexible vesting and price-based unlocking mechanisms, as well as expanded deployment across additional chains. Adoption by chains, launchpads, and token infrastructure providers reinforced SafeToken’s role as a core tool for secure token issuance, vesting, and distribution.

At the application layer, traction for the GoPlus App softened materially, with H2 revenue declining significantly compared to the prior half, though it remains the protocol’s largest historical revenue contributor. In contrast, infrastructure participation remained stable and continued to scale. SecHub deployments surpassed 70,000 instances by year-end, GoPlus AVS operators held steady at 36, and total ETH restaked across the AVS reached 1.1M ETH, strengthening the economic security underpinning the network.

Product development accelerated through H2 with the launch of the GoPlus B2B platform, expanded support for emerging transaction standards such as EIP-7702 and x402, and the rollout of a next-generation security engine. GoPlus also advanced AI-native security initiatives, including the private beta of the DeepScan engine and the launch of AgentGuard for AI agents, alongside progress on verifiable security and compliance-focused tools.

Looking ahead, as Web3 security losses reached $4.0B in 2025, demand for protocol-embedded, real-time security infrastructure is accelerating. Positioned at the intersection of chain-level security, AI-native risk, and aligned ecosystem incentives, GoPlus is well placed to play a central role in the next phase of decentralized security adoption.

GoPlus Security - H2 2025 Update

GoPlus Security is a decentralized Web3 security network designed to deliver real-time, composable security services across blockchains, wallets, and decentralized applications. Its architecture is built around three core products: GoPlus Intelligence, which provides security and risk-detection APIs; the SafeToken Protocol, enabling token issuance and locking mechanisms; and the GoPlus App, which offers advanced features such as multi-chain wallet scanning, real-time risk alerts, SecHub integration, and access to a flexible security service marketplace. A comprehensive overview of GoPlus’s multi-layered architecture including the Security Data Layer and the Security Compute Layer, and its decentralization roadmap is outlined in the GoPlus Security Primer.

In H2 2025, GoPlus continued to strengthen its position as a foundational layer within the Web3 security stack. Activity during the period was characterized by incremental product releases, expanded chain support and integrations, and the rollout of ecosystem initiatives aimed at broadening participation. Rather than signaling a major strategic pivot, developments in the second half of the year reflected a consolidation of prior progress and a steady expansion of GoPlus’s presence across multiple layers of the Web3 ecosystem.

Across products, partnerships and initiatives, GoPlus advanced its presence within wallets, chains, and infrastructure layers, reinforcing its role as a security service embedded within broader Web3 workflows. Usage metrics, ecosystem activity, and participation of network contributors continued to grow, even as market conditions remained volatile and external price signals fluctuated independently of underlying progress.

Protocol Metrics

*Data as of September 2025

Activity across the GoPlus network remained resilient throughout H2 2025 despite challenging market conditions, supported by sustained usage and broad participation across the ecosystem. Across all products, total ecosystem profit increased 5.44% to $3.44M by year-end, underscoring the protocol’s ability to continue generating value amid a volatile market environment.

GoPlus Web Extension

The GoPlus browser extension continued to gain strong momentum in H2 2025, averaging 311,097 daily active addresses, representing a 35.4% increase compared to H1. Cumulative transactions protected by the extension were on track to reach 3.95M by year-end, while the total value of secured transactions surpassed $350M in 2025.

During the period, GoPlus rolled out a major update to its browser extension, introducing EIP-7702 detection alongside new features such as automatic Web3 contract address highlighting on X, one-click risk checks, and instant credibility verification or trading.

The EIP-7702 detection capability extends GoPlus’s real-time security coverage to emerging transaction standards, allowing users to identify phishing attempts and malicious intent embedded within advanced account abstraction flows before execution. This ensures users remain protected as wallet and transaction architectures evolve beyond traditional models.

Notably, when users encounter a Web3 contract address while browsing X, the extension automatically identifies it and enables immediate risk assessment with a single click. Launched in Q4 2025, this capability - while simple on the surface - reflects the culmination of GoPlus’s multi-year effort to embed real-time security directly into everyday Web3 user workflows, strengthening protection without adding friction.

GoPlus Intelligence

GoPlus Intelligence remained the primary interface between the network and downstream users, delivering a comprehensive suite of APIs for token security analysis, address risk assessment, phishing detection, and more.

During H2 2025, GoPlus Security expanded its API offering with the launch of new products, including the Transaction Simulation API and Address Scan API. The Transaction Simulation API enables users to preview transaction behavior before signing, while the Address Scan API evaluates addresses for high-risk interactions, address contamination, NFT theft, and risky authorizations.

Throughout H2, usage across GoPlus Security’s API suite remained at sustainable levels, albeit lower than in the prior half.

Average daily calls to the Token Security API reached 22.2M in H2 2025, representing a 24.3% decline compared to H1 2025. This reduction primarily reflects broader market conditions, as overall Web3 transaction volumes declined by approximately 30% during the same period according to industry data.

Notably, the decline was concentrated among free-tier API users, while paid B2B customer API volumes remained stable, indicating sustained enterprise demand.

Additionally, the launch of the B2B platform in Q3 introduced more efficient API usage patterns, as enterprise clients optimized their integration architectures, resulting in lower call volumes but higher value per call.

The authorized API request volumes which measure API calls made by external users and platforms interacting directly with GoPlus’s services trended slightly down, falling 12.7% to 17.2M.

Meanwhile, daily blockchain request volume - which captures blockchain-level interactions across the network infrastructure - remained elevated in H2 2025, averaging 12M daily requests, despite a 10.6% decline compared to H1 2025.

The mid-year surge coincided with increased DeFi activity during the broader crypto market rally, while the July-August decline reflected typical summer seasonality in Web3 engagement.

Despite the 10.6% H2 decline compared to H1, the sustained baseline of 10-12M daily requests demonstrates that GoPlus's infrastructure has achieved product-market fit as a core dependency for Web3 applications.

SafeToken Protocol

The SafeToken Protocol continued to focus on token-level verification and locking functionality. During H2 2025, the protocol introduced new unlocking and vesting mechanisms, including price-based unlocks, which ensure that developer-held liquidity remains locked until the token reaches predefined price thresholds.

These enhancements enabled more flexible and customizable token distribution strategies, while preserving robust safeguards designed to reduce user exposure to malicious or poorly structured token launches.

Total value locked (TVL) in the SafeToken Locker increased 21.6% to $40.2M in H2 2025, with TVL peaking at an all-time high of $66M in October. This growth underscored the expanding adoption of token-locking mechanisms as a core tool for vesting, distribution control, and on-chain risk mitigation.

The expansion of the SafeToken Locker services to other popular chains including Base and Sui also contributed to the growth.

GoPlus APP

Traction for the GoPlus Security Application softened in H2 2025. While the application has been the largest contributor to GoPlus Protocol revenue to date - generating $3.1M in lifetime revenue - it produced $18.3k in revenue during H2 2025, representing an 86.2% decline compared to H1 2025. To date, the service has paid 70.3K addresses for their contribution.

On the infrastructure front, SecHub deployments continued to expand, with 197 new instances added via the GoPlus Security Module, bringing the total to 70,337 by year-end 2025.

Participation among GoPlus AVS operators remained stable, with 36 operators supplying the computational resources that power the Security Compute Layer. By the end of 2025, the total ETH restaked across the GoPlus AVS reached 1.1M ETH, underscoring the growing economic security backing the network.

Product Updates and Developments

The second half of 2025 marked a turning point for Web3 security as AI agents began to proliferate across decentralized ecosystems. Unlike traditional smart contracts, AI agents operate with autonomous decision-making, introducing a new class of security risks.

By Q4 2025, thousands of agents were managing growing on-chain activity, yet purpose-built security infrastructure remained limited. In response, GoPlus accelerated the development of AI-native security products, positioning itself at the forefront of this emerging frontier.

GoPlus AI Security Engine (DeepScan)

In Q4 2025, GoPlus completed internal testing and launched DeepScan in private beta - the industry's first AI-powered security engine capable of multi-language smart contract analysis. DeepScan represents a significant leap forward in automated vulnerability detection, addressing a critical market gap as Web3 expands beyond Ethereum to a multi-chain ecosystem.

DeepScan's architecture combines traditional static analysis with AI-driven pattern recognition, leveraging advanced Graph IR (Intermediate Representation) and AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) analysis. This approach enables the engine to understand contract logic at a semantic level, detecting not only known vulnerability patterns but also novel exploit vectors that evade conventional scanners.

The engine provides comprehensive coverage across three major smart contract languages: Solidity, Move and Rust. This multi-language capability is particularly significant given that most existing security tools are limited to EVM environments, leaving Move and Rust developers underserved.

During internal testing, DeepScan demonstrated substantial improvements over legacy scanning tools:

  • 40% higher detection accuracy through semantic understanding of contract logic
  • 60% reduction in computational costs via optimized analysis pipelines
  • Coverage of 15,000+ smart contracts across 20+ blockchain networks
  • Identification of 47 previously undetected high-severity vulnerabilities, including reentrancy variants, access control flaws, and logic errors

Notably, DeepScan achieved these results while maintaining a false positive rate below 5%, significantly lower than the industry average of 15-20%.

As Web3 evolves into a genuinely multi-chain ecosystem, developers increasingly need security tools that work consistently across different execution environments. DeepScan's universal coverage positions GoPlus as the security layer for the entire Web3 landscape, not just Ethereum. This strategic positioning becomes increasingly valuable as capital and developer activity continue to diversify across chains.

GoPlus AgentGuard: Real-Time Protection for AI Agents

In parallel with the rollout of DeepScan, GoPlus launched AgentGuard in Q4 2025 - the industry’s first real-time security layer purpose-built for autonomous AI agents operating on-chain. AgentGuard was designed to address the unique risk profile of AI agents, which differs fundamentally from traditional smart contracts due to their ability to dynamically load skills, adapt behavior, and execute autonomous financial actions.

At its core, AgentGuard employs a three-tier protection architecture that secures AI agents across the full lifecycle of skill execution and transaction submission.

Tier 1: Skill Scanning focuses on preventing supply-chain style attacks. Whenever an AI agent loads a new skill or module - whether sourced from a trusted repository or a third party - AgentGuard automatically scans both the code and behavioral patterns before execution. This pre-execution analysis detects high-risk capabilities such as unauthorized token transfer logic, permission escalation attempts, interactions with blacklisted or unverified contracts, and obfuscated patterns associated with known exploits. Skills flagged as high risk are quarantined and require explicit user approval before activation, preventing compromised dependencies from silently entering agent workflows.

Tier 2: Real-Time Action Interception operates at the transaction layer. AgentGuard functions as middleware between the AI agent and the blockchain, intercepting every transaction before submission. Using GoPlus’s real-time risk detection APIs and continuously updated threat intelligence from the Security Compute Layer, each action is evaluated in real time. The system blocks transactions involving phishing or sanctioned addresses, interactions with high-risk contracts, excessive approval requests, and actions that deviate materially from the agent’s stated purpose or historical behavior. Importantly, this enforcement occurs with sub-100ms latency, preserving agent responsiveness while maintaining strict security guarantees.

Tier 3: Provenance Tracking adds transparency and accountability. AgentGuard records which specific skill initiated each on-chain action, creating a comprehensive audit trail. This allows users to understand exactly how and why their agents behave, identify and remove compromised or misbehaving skills, and conduct forensic analysis in the event of an incident. For institutional users, this provenance layer also supports compliance and transaction traceability requirements.

AgentGuard launched with native support for OpenClaw, a leading AI agent framework, and has since expanded to additional agent platforms. By year-end 2025, early adoption metrics included over 200 AI agents protected, more than 1,500 skills scanned (with roughly 12% flagged for security concerns), and 47 malicious transactions blocked prior to execution. Notably, there were zero successful exploits among AgentGuard-protected agents during H2 2025.

Ethereum’s Trillion Dollar Security Initiative

GoPlus joined the Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security Initiative as a core contributor, an ecosystem-wide effort aimed at strengthening Ethereum’s security foundations to support institutional-scale adoption and trillion-dollar levels of on-chain value.

As part of this initiative, GoPlus collaborated closely with ecosystem stakeholders to advance chain-native security standards and explore emerging security requirements. This work accelerated around Devconnect through in-depth discussions with core protocol contributors, security initiatives, and infrastructure builders focused on hardening Ethereum’s long-term security roadmap.

500M GPS Security Campaign

Announced in July, the 500M GPS Security Fund established a structured incentive framework designed to drive participation across the GoPlus ecosystem. The program was built to reward activities that directly strengthen network usage, data quality, and decentralization, aligning economic incentives with measurable security outcomes.

The fund pioneers a market-driven pricing model for on-chain protection, allocating 400M GPS to a staking rewards pool - offering triple incentives through base APY, ecosystem safety dividends, and token buybacks - and 100M GPS to a bounty pool that rewards validated security contributions such as risk reports and threat intelligence.

Since launch, $GPS staking activity accelerated sharply, with the number of tokens staked increasing 172% to 104.6M by the end of 2025. Staked $GPS also reached an all-time high of 203M tokens in November, during which participants earned double-digit APYs, underscoring strong community engagement and sustained demand for security-aligned incentives.

Regulatory Readiness and MiCA Alignment

In September, GoPlus completed its MiCAR whitepaper registration, marking an important step in strengthening regulatory credibility within the European Union and reinforcing institutional confidence in the protocol. In parallel, GoPlus advanced the development of AML and sanctions detection tools, reflecting a proactive approach to compliance as regulatory expectations continue to evolve globally.

Together, these efforts position GoPlus to support a broader range of institutional use cases while aligning decentralized security infrastructure with emerging regulatory frameworks.

User Education and Thought Leadership

User education remained a central pillar of GoPlus’ ecosystem strategy throughout the period, reinforcing informed usage and risk awareness across the ecosystem. Education initiatives included:

  • Published post-mortem analyses on more than 20 major hacks and exploits in H2 2025, alongside real-time security alerts to keep users informed of emerging threats.
  • Introduced a Security Education Fund to support users who stake and actively follow major security incidents, including during high-profile events such as the Balancer exploit.
  • Released the industry-first Ultimate Hardware Wallet Radar Report, offering a comprehensive evaluation of leading hardware wallets across usability, security, functionality, hardware and battery performance, market compatibility, and cost efficiency.
  • Maintained leadership coverage on emerging security trends, including x402 transactions, agent-to-agent (A2A) commerce, and prediction markets, ensuring users and developers stay ahead of evolving attack surfaces.

$GPS: Token and CEX Activity

Price performance across digital assets in H2 2025 unfolded against a backdrop of elevated volatility, shifting macro sentiment, and periodic liquidity dislocations across crypto markets. As with many ecosystem tokens, price movements did not follow a linear relationship with underlying product development or ecosystem progress.

During H2 2025, the $GPS token declined 77.3%, closing the year at $0.0051. While scheduled supply unlocks in August contributed to near-term pressure, overall price performance was largely driven by broader market conditions rather than protocol-specific factors.

In July, the protocol distributed 8.42% of foundation-held tokens across marketing, ecosystem, community, and airdrop program wallets as part of ongoing ecosystem growth initiatives. The team also conducted snapshot-based, irregular airdrops aimed at incentivizing sustainable platform usage rather than short-term speculation.

On October 9, Binance removed the monitoring tag from the GoPlus token, reopening the path toward additional centralized exchange listings. However, a market-wide liquidation event on October 10 quickly reversed the short-lived positive momentum generated by this catalyst.

In 2025, over $24B in $GPS tokens were traded across centralized exchanges, with H2 spot trading volumes reaching $10B, representing a 24.1% decline compared to H1 2025 amid broader market softening.

Binance remained the dominant trading venue, accounting for nearly 91% of total $GPS trading volume, and continued to offer the deepest liquidity for the token. Following the removal of the monitoring tag in Q4, $GPS is well positioned for additional centralized exchange listings, which could further diversify liquidity and improve market access going forward.

Looking Ahead

The second half of 2025 marked a period of sustained execution and ecosystem expansion for GoPlus Network. Building on the foundational architecture and long-term vision outlined in the primer, progress throughout H2 emphasized integration, broader participation, and the rollout of new products - reinforcing, rather than redefining, the protocol’s core objectives.

Looking ahead, the role of decentralized security infrastructure is being reshaped by structural shifts across the Web3 landscape. The rapid growth of stablecoins, real-world assets, and autonomous agents is introducing increasingly complex risk vectors that extend beyond traditional smart contract vulnerabilities. As on-chain activity becomes more sophisticated and more tightly interwoven with traditional financial systems, demand for real-time, composable security primitives is expected to accelerate.

This dynamic became especially apparent in 2025, when losses from Web3 hacks and security incidents reached $4.0B - exceeding the aggregate total recorded in 2023 and 2024. In H2 2025 alone, nearly $1B was lost to security breaches, highlighting both the accelerating scale of threats and the growing urgency for robust, protocol-embedded security solutions.

For GoPlus, the next phase of development focuses on advancing chain-level security initiatives - such as ERC-7730 and new EIP proposals - while expanding AI-native security products including DeepScan and GoPlus AgentGuard.

The launch of DeepScan and AgentGuard positions GoPlus at the intersection of two of Web3's fastest-growing sectors: artificial intelligence and security. According to industry research, the AI agent market is projected to grow by over 300% in 2026, with on-chain AI agent transaction volumes expected to exceed $10B. As this ecosystem matures, demand for specialized security infrastructure will accelerate dramatically.

Building on the momentum from H2 2025, GoPlus plans to expand its AI security offerings throughout 2026:

Q1 2026:

  • Public launch of DeepScan with API access for developers and security auditors
  • AgentGuard SDK release enabling any AI agent framework to integrate native security
  • Expansion of supported agent frameworks beyond OpenClaw

Q2 2026:

  • Launch of AI Security Marketplace where security researchers can contribute detection rules and earn $GPS rewards
  • Introduction of agent reputation scoring based on historical behavior and security posture
  • Integration with major DeFi protocols to enable agent-specific risk parameters

H2 2026:

  • Development of cross-agent communication security addressing risks in agent-to-agent (A2A) interactions
  • Regulatory compliance tools for AI agents operating in jurisdictions with strict AML/KYC requirements
  • Advanced threat intelligence sharing network for AI agent security incidents

The roadmap also includes the launch of the long-awaited governance proposal, previously delayed from its planned Q4 release.

As the protocol continues to commercialize its ecosystem, GoPlus remains firmly committed to user protection, aligning ecosystem incentives through $GPS, and collaborating with industry partners to raise the security standard across Web3. Together, these efforts position GoPlus to accelerate the adoption of standardized, protocol-embedded security and help build a safer, more trustworthy decentralized future.
