India’s Cyber Fraud Crisis — By the Numbers
In 2025, Indians filed 65.89 lakh cybercrime complaints. Of those, lesser than 2% became FIRs. Nearly 1 in 2 Indian adults have experienced or know a victim of AI voice-cloning or deepfake scams. You have to recognize it before it does.
Meanwhile, UPI processed 228 billion transactions in 2025 alone. Every transaction represents trust. Every fraud erodes it.
Fraud doesn’t check which app you use, which bank you trust, or which platform you invest on. The defence must be equally universal.

DSN was founded by CoinDCX, one of India's largest crypto platforms, as an open commitment to build shared cyber safety infrastructure for the entire ecosystem.
India's digital economy and India's fraud infrastructure grew at the same pace,but its defences didn't. DSN's mission is to permanently close that gap by building the first neutral, cross-sector cyber safety network where regulators, platforms, law enforcement and citizens share intelligence, tools and standards in real time. So no single point in the ecosystem has to stand alone.
A future where digital trust is infrastructure : built once, owned by no one, available to all. Where a fraud signal detected on a crypto exchange in Mumbai instantly protects a farmer transacting on UPI in Rajasthan. Where a cybercrime complaint triggers a response in hours, not months because the evidence, the tools and the trained officer are already in place. Where India's ₹300 lakh crore digital economy is defended by systems as robust and universal as the economy it enables.
