Work with Phylax

Our forward deployed engineers (FDEs) help define, implement, and test your circuit breakers. Sales engineering is included in your Phylax subscription. You can also write your own policies. For product fit, see Should you use Phylax?.

​

Start a Conversation

Contact us through our website or your Phylax contact. Our first meeting covers your protocol, the scenarios that concern you, and existing mitigations. Use the preparation guide to gather the context.

​

The Integration Process

When you work with our forward deployed engineers, here’s what you get. We agree the delivery scope and operating plan with your team.

​

Who Does What

Your team explains protocol behavior, identifies acceptable exceptions, and approves the policies and test results. Involve the people responsible for contract changes, transaction submission, governance, and incident response. Your team controls its policies and protocol. Our FDEs prepare and simulate changes. Your signers authorize and execute them. See Managing Policy Deployments for deployment permissions.

​

Before you activate your first circuit breaker

Our FDEs run backtests and test a replica of your protocol on an Ethereum fork. Review normal activity, policy violations, legitimate exceptions, and recovery behavior with us. The testing strategy covers guards and transaction routing. After your signers activate protection, we verify it with you.

​

Fallback paths and recovery

We designed onchain recovery paths to work independently of us. Define who can use them and test them before activation. During fail-open periods, mandatory assertion protection is reduced. A restrictive assertion may still block legitimate activity. See the Enforcement FAQ on recovery.
