It's one thing to know that "no amount of prep makes the code 100% safe" and another to see it play out in practice. This is the story of a big release employing an extra-layered approach to security: how the team spent months in preparation and hundreds of thousands of dollars on security measures and was saved from the mainnet vulnerability with a bug bounty report —and how that's a good thing.
Speaker
Kate Zueva, DAO Operations Lead, Lido.
