Hacken's Q2 2026 report shows institutional crypto security is evolving. Investors are shifting focus from just smart contract audits to continuous monitoring, robust signature controls, and better incident response.
Analysis of 1,427 projects revealed only 9% use third-party monitoring & just 4% have a comprehensive approach (monitoring, bug bounty, audits).
This shift is critical as $764M was stolen in Q2. A staggering 88.3% of losses were due to private key/signature compromises or infrastructure issues, highlighting smart contract audit limitations.
Even 14 audited projects suffered losses from vulnerabilities *outside* audit scope, proving the need for a more holistic, proactive strategy. #cryptosecurity #nostr
