Case Study: Chia reduces open security alerts by 70% with Socket

How Chia Achieved a 70% Reduction in Open Security Alerts with Socket

Chia, a technology startup building on the Chia blockchain, faced the significant challenge of managing security for its large, highly visible open-source codebase. Their existing application security tools generated a high volume of alerts, often false positives, and required engineers to juggle multiple platforms, disrupting their workflow and requiring extensive manual oversight.

By implementing Socket, Chia streamlined its security process, allowing its team to handle 90% of alerts directly within GitHub. The solution provided accurate, actionable intelligence that significantly reduced false positives. As a result, Socket helped Chia achieve a 70% reduction in open security alerts, leading to major cost savings, increased developer productivity, and greater confidence in the security of third-party libraries.
