White-Hat Intervention describes the act of ethical hackers or security researchers proactively identifying and neutralizing vulnerabilities in digital systems to prevent malicious exploitation. In the context of cryptocurrency, this often involves discovering smart contract flaws or protocol weaknesses and then responsibly disclosing or even temporarily exploiting them to secure assets. The objective is to protect users and systems from black-hat attacks. These interventions often involve returning any secured funds.
