DeFi phishing is getting wild in 2025; wallet drainers, fake dApps, QR traps. $494M stolen last year alone.
I’m breaking down the Top 5 DeFi Phishing Techniques how to dodge them like a pro.
Stay tuned. 👀

Hello frens,
Tomorrow, I’ll be speaking at Cross-Continent Builders Talk 003, hosted by @EthereumNigeria and @EthereumLagos.
I’ll be introducing Web3 security and using the @hyperbridge incident as a case study to explore bridge security, proof verification, and the lessons builders should take from it.
🗓 June 16
⏰ 8:00 PM WAT
Register here: luma.com/990ol611
Looking forward to the conversation.
Join us!

attacks will always happen, that's just the nature of the game
the bigger issue is we're still building systems on the assumption that trusted things won't break, but they do.
keys get compromised, signers get social engineered, cloud accounts get taken over literally all the time.
we need to stop designing for "this won't fail" and start designing for "this WILL fail, now what!"
survival architecture > prevention
Web3 lost about $900M to hacks in the first half of 2026. Around three quarters of it left through keys, signers, cloud accounts and domains while the contracts held. We keep pointing audit budget at the one layer that is no longer where the money goes.
I wrote the article analyzing the hacks year-to-date and you can find it below.

bridge security is one of those things people only start taking seriously after something goes wrong.
glad this conversation is happening.🤲🏽
looking forward to it.✨
Cross-Continent Builders 003 (CCBT) Talk on @EthereumNigeria @EthereumLagos
Web3 Security Series is Loading!
We’re kicking off powerful Live Sessions on Smart Contract & Bridge Security featuring top voices in the game:
@SecwithChris
@Al_Qa_qa
@seunlanlege
Special focus on the @hyperbridge incident:
We’ll break down the Hyperbridge exploit
→ What the team did proactively (bug bounties patches) and the hard lessons developers must relearn about bridge security and proof verification.
Security isn’t optional anymore.
This series is the foundation for our upcoming Ethereum Nigeria Web3 Security Bootcamp.
Looking for sponsors who want to support security education for African builders.
DM or reply if interested!
enoch@ethereumnigeria.org
Target Participants:
→ Solidity developers who want to write secure code
→ Aspiring smart contract auditors
→ Builders and founders who want security-first development
Special thanks @Eman_Herawy @seunlanlege

self-custody is step one.
designing for the moment something goes wrong is step two.
most people stop at step one.
Concerned with wallet security?
In truth, most of us are likely to *lose* our assets before they can ever be stolen. With this in mind, Stack Wallet was built to put privacy, security, AND financial sovereignty back into your hands while being as approachable as possible. With features like:
✅Default self-custody
✅Duress mode
✅Custom wallet backups
✅Fully open-source code
you're handed the tools to secure yourself against theft... and user error.
Which of these features is most important to you?

most technical founders don’t need louder marketing.
they need clearer messaging.
because if users, partners, and investors can’t understand the value in 10 seconds, they move on.

I have been quiet on X for a while, but I am starting to take posting more seriously again.
Recently I got to work on something with a serious Web3 security team and one lesson stayed with me long after the work was done.
🧵 “Even trusted systems should be designed as if they can fail.”

- A rate limit means a compromised key cannot drain everything in one move.
- A balance check means you are measuring what actually moved, not trusting what an external contract reports.
- An immutable address means a dependency cannot quietly redirect where your system ends up.
Each one is a ceiling on how far a failure travels.

Every system has dependencies and every dependency can change.
The goal is simple for projects!!
when something fails, the damage should stop somewhere.
“Containment is not a feature you add. It is how you build.”

Most DeFi risk does not start from something obviously malicious. It starts from something the protocol already trusted either a bridge, an operator key or an external integration quietly changing behavior in a way the architecture was never built to handle.
By the time anyone notices, the damage is already moving.

That is why containment matters more than most people talk about.
Good architecture should always be asking…if this assumption breaks, how far can the damage travel before we can react?
That question alone changes how you build.
