As the web3 ecosystem continues to gain momentum, there’s an opportunity for web3 security to be proactive and prevention-focused.

With that said, I’m excited to share @cbventure’s POV on the web3 security stack 🧵

2/ At @cbventures, we believe that web3 presents a novel attack surface that requires new security solutions to prevent and mitigate security threats

3/ The most common web3 security attack surfaces can be categorized into four layers: infrastructure, smart contract language, protocol logic, and ecosystem

h/t @0xKofi for this framework

4/ The evolving web3 security stack, layer by layer, consists of 👇🏾

5/ Infrastructure primitives for securely connecting users/apps to blockchains and ensuring operational integrity

6/ Security testing tools to augment or automate formal audits and mitigate vulnerabilities in the smart contract code and/or protocol logic

7/ Ecosystem tools for managing protocol risk, monitoring security threats in real-time and conducting forensic crime investigations

8/ While there’s no silver bullet to eliminating all potential threats in web3, we expect the industry’s security posture to drastically improve over time as the nascent, yet evolving web3 security stack matures

9/ Overall, we believe that investing in these technologies and the teams building them will help to ensure the security and integrity of the web3 ecosystem while supporting its continued growth

11/ h/t to @SWillinger and @0xKofi for helping to inform this content! 🔥

12/ If you’re as dedicated to building out the web3 security stack as we are, we would love to hear from you. My DMs are open 📥

13/ If you want to meet in person, I’ll be hanging out with the @BuildOnBase team at @EthereumDenver this Wednesday & Thursday afternoon. 🔵
