Abstract generation in progress
ME News Report, May 27 (UTC+8), cryptocurrency security company OpenZeppelin co-founder Manuel Aráoz stated, "I now believe all DeFi is unsafe. Coding agents have superhuman talent in discovering vulnerabilities, and the security of smart contracts is overly asymmetric: defenders need to fix every vulnerability, while attackers only need one to steal funds. I have been privately advising my friends and family to exit all DeFi positions, including low-risk 'blue-chip' projects like Aave, MakerDAO, and Compound." (Source: Foresight News)

The point of security asymmetry hits the core, attackers' ROI is always higher.

But where can you go if you exit DeFi? Bank interest rates are zero.

That’s a pretty harsh statement, but upon reflection, it’s really hitting home—defensive costs are too high.
