What SCAN evaluates
SCAN stands for Secure Crypto Asset Network. It is a practical competition aimed at global professionals working in digital asset tracing and security.
Unlike traditional cybersecurity capture-the-flag competitions, which mainly test vulnerability analysis and system penetration skills, SCAN assesses participants on on-chain data analysis, tracing transaction fund flows, identifying wallet behavior patterns, and blockchain forensic analysis.
Team rules and organizers
Each team may have up to four members. Anyone interested in digital asset tracing and blockchain security is eligible to apply.
This year marks the second edition of SCAN. The competition is hosted by digital asset information company D.ASSET, while global blockchain data analysis platform Chainalysis is serving as the CTF partner.
The organizer said it expects SCAN 2026 to serve as an international venue where digital asset tracing and security professionals can test practical skills, share technical outcomes and investigative experience, and help identify talent with on-chain tracing and blockchain forensics capabilities.
