Why Web2 is the back door into compromising your ecosystem security

(And how to stop hackers, hijackers and phishers from using it to teleport themselves inside your project)

Abstract

The decentralized revolution is upon us and we’re experiencing a Cambrian explosion in blockchains, Layer 2s, DEXes, CEXes, DeFi platforms and myriad Web3 applications.

The permutations are endless - DePIN, DAOs, DAAPs - but they all have one common Achilles Heel: a doorway into their ecosystem from the legacy Web2 world that they must rely on, but when left unguarded can lead to security breaches and catastrophic losses for ecosystem users.

The unguarded doorway is the legacy internet naming system: domain names and DNS.

This paper outlines a framework of best practices to safeguard the entry points into your project from the Web2 world.
