Chainmakers | The Billion-Dollar Web3 Security Crisis — Bryn from Hacken on How to Stop It

Описание: Most Web3 founders say, “We’ll get an audit before mainnet.” But security isn’t a checklist—it’s your moat.

In this episode of Chainmakers, we sit down with Bryn from Hacken, one of Web3’s most respected security experts, to unpack the rising threats founders face—$2.2B lost in Q1 alone—and what can actually stop them.

You’ll learn:

→ Why 83% of recent hacks target people, not code
→ What happens when a $1.5B hack wrecks your weekend
→ How to budget for audits, bug bounties, and real-time monitoring
→ Why trust—not TVL—is your most valuable asset

💡 “If you're not thinking about security from day one, you're building on borrowed time.” — Bryn
