Web3 Security: The Underlying Foundation Cannot Be Ignored

Web3, as an emerging field, is thriving. However, the current industry attention to traditional cybersecurity vulnerabilities is still far from adequate. This situation mainly stems from two reasons: first, the Web3 industry is still in the exploratory stage, and relevant technologies and security facilities are still being improved; second, existing cybersecurity regulations have prompted Web2 companies to strengthen their own security measures in order to minimize the likelihood of security incidents.

These factors lead to an excessive focus on on-chain security and the security of the blockchain ecosystem itself in the current Web3 field, while lacking sufficient awareness of lower-level systemic vulnerabilities, browser vulnerabilities, mobile security, hardware security, and other areas. However, it is important to note that Web3 is actually built on the infrastructure of Web2. If there are security vulnerabilities in the underlying Web2, it shakes the foundation for the entire Web3 ecosystem and poses a serious threat to user asset security.

For example, browser vulnerabilities, mobile vulnerabilities ( iOS/Android ), etc., can lead to asset theft without the user's awareness. There have been multiple real cases showing that hackers have successfully stolen digital assets using Web2 0day or vulnerabilities, resulting in significant losses. These vulnerabilities not only threaten personal assets but also pose serious risks to exchanges, asset custody companies, mining companies, and more.

Therefore, it can be said that without the security of the Web2 foundation, it is difficult to ensure the security of the Web3 domain. Industry experts believe that security measures in the Web3 field should not be limited to a single method such as code auditing, but also require more security facilities, such as real-time detection and response to malicious transactions.

In the future, the Web3 security field needs more professional teams to continuously and deeply research underlying security technologies. At the same time, all parties in the industry should strengthen communication and cooperation, and work together to make the Web3 ecosystem more secure and reliable. Only by solidifying the security foundation can the innovation and development of Web3 truly be stable and far-reaching.
