Not a good take. DeFi infra today is materially more resilient than in prior cycles (partially also thanks to AI). Also DeFi has improved across the board over the years: - better risk engines + lending market structures - formal verification, audits, bug bounties - better cap management, oracle improvements - automated monitoring and security operations inc. circuit breakers - far better tooling for smart contract security (including AI-assisted analysis) Ironically, a lot of the remaining attack surface now comes from web2-type opsec, which is why many DeFi teams are investing heavily into better processes (inc. SOC2-based), infra hardening, and internal controls. DeFi is constantly evolving, but pretending the industry hasn’t matured significantly or that AI is only a net negative for DeFi security is simply not true. The same AI capabilities attackers use are also increasingly used by security researchers, auditors, and whitehats to strengthen protocols. DeFi Will Win.(Stani)
