SPECIAL: The harsh truth about Web3 security w/ Polygon CTO

In this episode, I sat down with @Mudit__Gupta, CTO at @0xPolygon, to dive deep into the real-world security challenges in crypto.

We unpacked the lessons from recent high-profile hacks, including the $1.5B @Bybit_Official exploit via @safe compromise, the $235M @WazirXIndia hack, and what most teams still get wrong when building secure protocols.

Mudit also shares his views on @eigenlayer's shared security, best practices for storing crypto securely, and what Polygon still needs to improve. 

If you're a dev, auditor/SR, or someone building their own crypto startup, this one’s your security checklist in podcast form.
