four audits checked the code. nobody checked the humans. nobody verified that what's on git matches on chain. nobody checked if buffer contents were validated before multisig approval.

the pattern: solarwinds, not ronin.
a developer with access wrote malicious code and pushed it through the standard review pipeline. the second signer approved without verifying the buffer matched a known build hash. a machine never skips verification because it's objective.
the top three protocols now move $868m of the $1.2b daily volume. 72.5% through three pipes. a year ago it was scattered across twelve. consolidation doesn't announce itself. it just arrives one percentage point at a time.

usdt0 flipped layerzero overnight. 21.4% versus 21.1%. $267.8m through a protocol most bridge trackers ignored until this year. cctp still leads at 27.0% but the second tier is reshuffling in real time.

hyperliquid captured 4.8% of cross-chain routing as pure exchange settlement. $60.3m through trading infrastructure threading between chains. not a bridge. not a message passer. market mechanics flowing where liquidity demands it.
