Last week we announced the OpenZeppelin Continuous Security Program.
Proud to have these teams already running on the most comprehensive security model, treating security as continuous operations, not just point-in-time audits.
@Uniswap@AcrossProtocol@zksync
Like many others, @code4rena was my first job in web3 security. I remember the days where we had to explain what a competitive audit even was, a completely new model with no reference point and no playbook.
A lot has changed since then. But I genuinely loved working on something that felt new and meaningful, alongside great people like @sockdrawermoney who had real vision and actually put the work in.
Sad to see this chapter close.
Excited about this one. From point-in-time audits to ongoing coverage that moves with your codebase.
Every commit analyzed. AI + senior researcher triage. Signal only, no noise.
If you're building and want to know what this looks like for your stack, feel free to reach out.
Crypto companies lost over $3.4 billion to hacks in 2025 🚨
The largest losses didn't come from smart contract bugs. They came from compromised credentials, operational failures, and code shipped between audits.
While audits are essential, it's clear they're not enough.

New tech is only half the job – rewriting risk, legal and cloud playbooks is the other half. That was the headline message from Marianne Webber (@StanChart ), Sandip Wadje (@BNPParibas ) and Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao vas (@chainlink ) at Crypto Finance Forum London.
From the “most expensive transaction ever” to surprise multi‑cloud risk, the panel showed how crypto pushes banks into uncharted control territory:
-$ Millions for one trade: @SBI_DAH & @jpmorgan spent eye‑watering amounts to build a one‑off risk framework – because no standards existed.
-Even a gas fee can trigger export‑control checks: BNP Paribas’s Sandip was asked to prove no nation-state actor could touch the ETH his team used to pay for it.
-90/10 new vs old: Standard Chartered re‑uses ~90 % of its TradFi controls; the last 10 % is crypto‑specific uplift (but this last mile can be immensely challenging).
-Compliance‑as‑code: Chainlink is building a runtime environment that simplifies regulatory complexity – enabling compliant issuance, settlement, and reporting of on-chain assets across borders, programmatically.
-Multi‑cloud overnight: tokenization pilots on AWS, GCP & Azure means banks have rapidly become multi‑cloud – now their resilience playbooks need a rewrite.
As Fernando put it:
“I’m super excited about the non‑sexy, boring stuff – risk frameworks and audit requirements. It's not cool, but I think it’s what’s really going to move the needle.”
