The security dilemma in the DeFi ecosystem is becoming increasingly difficult to overcome. Last year, the entire DeFi market experienced over $649 million in attacks, and leading protocols like Balancer were not spared. The problem is clear — relying solely on the philosophy of "code is law" is no longer sufficient.



Now, more and more people believe in shifting towards "regulation as law," using standardized compliance checks to plug vulnerabilities. It sounds promising, and projects like Kamino and XRP Ledger have already begun experimenting. However, on the other hand, this kind of immutability check can enhance security levels, but side effects must also be considered — transaction costs may increase, and 100% security cannot be guaranteed.

The direction forward is correct, but this path still requires further exploration.

649 million? Come on, that doesn't even include the ones that can't be traced.

Coming back with this again? Regulatory checks sound like putting a straitjacket on DeFi. When transaction fees skyrocket, it's better to just accept being exploited for yield farming.

Another news of large-scale theft, did Balancer also fail to escape? What does this indicate? Code audits simply can't block hackers' creativity.

6.49 billion dollars... I'm still saving Gwei, but several billion have already been snatched away here. I really can't smile. --- Adding checks and ensuring security at the same time, gas fees will definitely suffer. I knew it would turn out like this. --- Standard checks sound good, but who will foot the bill? In the end, it's still our users paying. --- Even top projects like Balancer are collapsing. How can I still dare to farm on-chain? Cross-chain arbitrage late at night is risking my life. --- Immutability check = gas explosion, savings strategies need to be recalculated, so annoying. --- Basically, there's no perfect solution. Either it's cheap but risky, or safe but expensive. You have to sacrifice one. --- Standardization sounds high-end, but it's really just adding more intermediaries to DeFi. Does that truly make it decentralized?
