About

What is Onchain Diary?

Onchain Diary is an independent Web3 safety education resource. We write plain-English guides on crypto scams, smart contract security, and on-chain analysis — so you can understand how attacks work and protect yourself before you transact.

No tools to install. No API keys. No sign-ups. Just articles and a glossary, free for everyone.

Why we exist

Crypto loses billions to scams every year. Most attacks follow predictable patterns — wallet drainers, honeypots, infinite approvals, address poisoning. The knowledge to spot them exists, but it's scattered across forums, audit reports, and academic papers. We consolidate it into clear, practical guides that anyone can understand.

Onchain Diary is a research project by UZEN Labs, an independent lab building Web3 safety and research tools.

What you'll find

• Articles — Deep dives into attack methods, security checklists, and step-by-step token verification guides.
• Glossary — Plain-English definitions of 120+ Web3 and blockchain terms. No jargon, no hype.

Our principles

• Education first — We explain how things work, not just what to click.
• No paid promotions — Content is independent and unbiased.
• No gatekeeping — Everything is free. No premium tier, no paywall.
• Practical — Every article ends with actionable steps you can take right now.

Who's behind this

Onchain Diary is written by an independent Web3 security researcher. The same person behind the research writes every article — this isn't a content farm. For the longer version — five years of collectibles, airdrops, and scams, and how I ended up here — read a letter from the author. If you find an error or have a topic suggestion, reach out.
