Eclipse Radar
A privacy dashboard for crypto wallet, IPFS, and decentralized social users that alerts them when their peer-to-peer traffic looks suspicious.
privacy-conscious crypto wallet users and decentralized app (Web3, IPFS, Nostr) enthusiasts
- Connection Health Score: a live indicator of how many peers are routing your transactions or messages
- Eclipse Warning: alerts when too many of your peer connections share a single IP subnet, a classic eclipse-attack fingerprint
- Latency Drift Map: surfaces which regions are silent or slow, hinting at local network manipulation
- One-Tap Re-shuffle: helps you re-establish peer connections to escape a suspected cloak
Recent open-source work on Kademlia DHT eclipse hardening has exposed how exposed everyday Web3 users are, but consumer-facing tooling for this threat is almost nonexistent.
Source Dev.to post had only 9 reactions; no consumer-facing eclipse/p2p-traffic monitor in search results, and the addressable market of crypto/IPFS/Nostr users actively worried about DHT-level attacks is very small compared to wallet phishing or smart-contract exploits.Dev log #14 Hardening the DHT against Eclipse attacks and the endless battle with flaky p2p tests ↗Eclipse Attacks in Blockchain Networks: Detection, Prevention, and ... ↗
Confirmed gap: existing tooling targets exchanges/treasuries (Chainalysis Hexagate, WalletSleuth) or node operators (ProbeLab, IPFS Cluster Manager, Netdata IPFS) — no consumer-grade p2p traffic/eclipse alert dashboard surfaces in results.Hexagate's Wallet Compromise Detection Kit - chainalysis.com ↗IPFS | ProbeLab Analytics ↗GitHub - JvD007/ipfs-cluster-manager ↗
Most Web3 security spending flows to enterprise/treasury tools (Hexagate, Chainalysis) or hardware wallets; consumers balk at subscriptions for abstract p2p-threat dashboards, and no analogous paid product exists to benchmark pricing against.Hexagate's Wallet Compromise Detection Kit - chainalysis.com ↗WalletMapper - Blockchain Analytics & Crypto Wallet Tracing ↗
Eclipse/Sybil-class DHT threats are structurally persistent in Kademlia-based systems (covered in IEEE survey and academic literature), but the consumer-education curve and reliance on niche Web3 adoption make lasting demand uncertain.Eclipse Attacks in Blockchain Networks: Detection, Prevention, and ... ↗Hardening Kademlia DHT: The Eclipse Attack That Record Signing Doesn't Stop ↗
Cross-protocol p2p traffic inspection (Ethereum devp2p, libp2p/IPFS, Nostr relays) plus heuristic eclipse detection across diverse transports is a significant engineering lift; existing open-source monitoring (ProbeLab, Netdata IPFS) only expose metrics, not consumer alerts.IPFS | ProbeLab Analytics ↗IPFS Monitoring | Netdata ↗
