#2 | The Billion-Dollar Audit: 5 Smart Contract Vulnerabilities That Cost $1B+
"Our code has been audited." For any leader in Web3, those words should bring peace of mind. But reality shows an audit isn't armor; it's just one layer of defense. In 2024, projects lost over a billion dollars to exploits that auditors often miss.
In this episode of Expansion, we're not talking about complex algorithms. We're talking about money—your money—and the five most expensive coding mistakes every leader must understand before launch. We'll cover everything from classic Reentrancy attacks to the absurdly simple Access Control flaws that cost projects almost a billion dollars.
To help you translate this conversation from technical jargon into business language, we've prepared a special bonus: the "CEO Checklist: 10 Questions to Ask Your CTO About an Audit." This and other free resources are published exclusively on our Telegram channel. To download and use them, join us there!
