Use the Phylax platform to review the work prepared with your FDE and manage your protection.

​
Before You Start

Ask your FDE or project admin for access. Have the target contracts and approved policies available for review. Assign a protocol manager to sign deployments. Platform access alone does not grant deployment authority.

​
1. Open Your Project

Sign in to ethereum.phylax.systems. Open your protocol under Projects and check its network and contract addresses. If needed, create the project with your FDE.

​
2. Review a Release

Your FDE or developer prepares a release with pcl apply. Open it under Releases. Check the proposed policies against your requirements. Review the release checks and backtesting results with your FDE. Creating a release does not activate it. Follow Review and deploy changes for the walkthrough.

​
3. Deploy to Alerting and Observe

Authorize the release targeting Alerting through your signing process. Wait for its activation delay. Review Invalidations → Alert-only with your FDE. Exercise the operations in your test plan. Investigate false positives and retest policy changes. Alerting records violations without blocking live transactions. Production requires a separate release.

​
4. Authorize Production and Verify Protection

Complete the integration tests and recovery rehearsal with your FDE. Follow Review and Deploy Policies to authorize the production release. After the activation delay, verify live enforcement with your FDE. Check the active policies, guard coverage, and transaction routes.

​
5. Investigate an Invalidation

Open All invalidations and select an event. Follow the transaction investigation walkthrough. Review unexpected findings with your FDE. Policy changes require a reviewed release and your signing process.

​
6. Configure and Test Alerts

Follow Setting Up Alerting to connect Slack and test notification delivery. Agree with your FDE who investigates alerts and who can authorize recovery.

​
7. Keep Access and Project Information Current

Manage collaborators and project details under Settings. Use Audit Log to review project changes. When policies change, replace the release with the complete policy set to retain. Review and authorize it, then verify the resulting protection. Use your agreed recovery procedures during an incident.
