When infrastructure fails or integrations break, the difference between resilience and collapse is response structure.
This guide helps organizations prepare for contract-level failures, governance malfunctions, validator outages, oracle manipulation, and bridge compromise. It introduces key recovery models and explains how Cantina's Incident Command system helps protocols manage live incidents without operational chaos.
A disaster recovery planning framework tailored for onchain systems:
Failure types most relevant to protocol architecture
Emergency pause, rollback, and fallback mechanisms
Escalation and response structure using Incident Command
Blast radius modeling and modular isolation
Recovery scenarios across governance, bridges, oracles, and infrastructure
High-value protocols are expected to demonstrate resilience under pressure.
Disaster recovery is no longer an enterprise concept. It is an operational requirement for every protocol that supports users, liquidity, or integrations.
This guide outlines how to build, test, and implement recovery controls designed for real-world impact.
Cantina delivers structured audits, dependency assessments, and infrastructure reviews for protocols preparing to scale securely.
This guide reflects real production patterns observed during high-impact engagements. Our Incident Command system is actively deployed across high-value protocols preparing for or responding to critical threats.
If your organization is preparing for due diligence, integration, or regulated engagement, we can help apply this framework to your architecture and operations. Cantina scopes institutional reviews that cover both code and resilience.
