Critical Lesson for Web3 Developers
Web3 development isn't just about scalability, composability, or gas efficiency—security is just as fundamental. The Bybit hack, one of the largest crypto exchange breaches in history, exposed vulnerabilities that should be a wake-up call for smart contract developers, security engineers, and blockchain architects. As builders in the space, we often focus on optimizing performance and functionality, but the reality is that security flaws in one line of code can lead to multi-billion-dollar exploits. What happened to Bybit was not just an exchange problem—it’s a Web3 infrastructure problem.
