“My ah-ha moment … came when I realized that I could now embed the contract that governs the asset’s activities into the asset itself. That is what Sergey’s team is starting to enable”—Sandy Kaul, @FTI_Global

It’s more important than ever for users to understand the importance of using bridges that are underpinned by decentralized cross-chain infrastructure that provides level-5 security.
Bridges with weak cross-chain security give a bridge provider the unilateral authority to halt transactions, maliciously withdraw funds, or shut down the network—a key example of centralization risk. This centralization risk also means the bridge is highly vulnerable to a potential hack or exploit because the centralized entity represents a single point of failure.
Ultimately, it’s up to users in today’s multi-chain landscape to understand the security assumptions of any bridging solution that they use—especially because bridge hacks represent more than $2.8B in total hacked value across the industry.
This doesn’t mean that all users have to learn how to read smart contracts. It simply means users should have a baseline understanding of how to gauge the security of the bridging solutions they use.
That starts with internalizing the five different levels of cross-chain security: https://t.co/IYKaUVCWOa

3 key problems #CCIP’s universal integration gateway solves for banks:
1. Integration with offchain systems—banks can leverage their existing expertise and services
2. Transferring tokens cross-chain securely—CCIP meets & exceeds institutional security standards
3. Connecting to any chain—new tokenization platforms can be future-proofed

The US Treasury is going after crypto.
This week, officials from the Treasury Department testified before the Financial Services Committee.
The officials expressed concerns that crypto is being used for illicit activities.
These US officials just can’t stop hating on crypto.
Want to be successful?
Bad news is there is rarely an overnight solution.
Good news is that if you can get 1% better every day, then in a year you will barely recognize yourself.
And in 5 years you can be living your dream life.
