In 2026, compromised keys overtook smart contract bugs as the leading cause of DeFi losses, the first time that has happened on record. This episode is about what that changes for teams shipping onchain.

Andrés runs security at Hashlock. He joins dOrg Hot Seat to walk through what a smart contract audit does and doesn't cover, why one exploit rarely stays contained to a single protocol, and the attack surface almost nobody prices in: private keys left behind in repositories that later go public. He watched that one mistake cost around $1M, then watched it happen again.

We also get into the three questions he says every audit should answer, what a human reviewer adds that automated tooling can't, where an auditor's responsibility ends, and his unfiltered take on vendors selling AI security.

Remi from Inco Network breaks down why most privacy crypto today won't survive quantum computing, and how confidential smart contracts actually work under the hood.

We get into why blockchains need privacy at all (voting, gaming, payments, payroll), how Inco's confidential smart contract library encrypts states like euint, ebool and eaddress, why they chose TEEs over FHE and ZK to go to market, and the post-quantum vulnerability most privacy protocols aren't talking about.
