Sui has removed 3,023 impersonation and phishing threats across online platforms, according to figures released by the network's security partner ChainPatrol, with the takedown count more than tripling since mid-November 2025.

The removals come through Sui's partnership with ChainPatrol, a security firm that hunts fake accounts and scam sites impersonating legitimate projects. The effort sits under Sui's $10 million Ecosystem Security Expansion Initiative, which the network uses to fund protection for more than 30 projects building on its blockchain.

ChainPatrol's monitoring covers the web, X, Discord, Telegram, other social media, app stores and digital wallets. As of mid-November 2025, the firm had blocked 842 unique threats tied to Sui-related projects and executed takedowns across more than 11 platforms. The latest tally of 3,023 represents a more than threefold increase over that baseline.

The scale of the removals illustrates how crowded the scam economy surrounding crypto has become, with impersonation and phishing operations targeting users of major networks across social platforms and app stores.

How does ChainPatrol detect the threats?

ChainPatrol relies on AI and image recognition to identify fakes, flagging copycats that reuse a project's branding even when the account name is slightly altered. That approach targets a common tactic in crypto scams: spoofed accounts and sites that borrow logos and visual identity to appear legitimate.

The firm also feeds its findings into wallet blocking lists. If a user clicks a known phishing site, their wallet can warn them or refuse to connect. This converts threat detection into a defensive layer at the point of user interaction rather than relying solely on platform-level takedowns.

How does the count compare with other networks?

ChainPatrol works with other Web3 organizations, and its results elsewhere offer a benchmark. For one partner, the firm has reported 3,129 blocked threats. Sui's 3,023 lands in the same low-thousands range, suggesting the volume of impersonation attempts facing major ecosystems is comparable regardless of network.

What does this mean for projects building on Sui?

For teams building on Sui, the most direct benefit is coverage. Smaller projects gain professional threat monitoring they might not otherwise afford, paid for out of an ecosystem-wide fund rather than individual budgets.

Research on the initiative suggests the program could bolster confidence in projects under the Sui umbrella and may support user adoption, though that remains a potential effect rather than a measured outcome. What is measured is the takedown volume itself: a running count that has grown more than threefold in the period since mid-November, and that will indicate whether the scam economy around the network is contracting or merely being churned faster than it is replaced.
